About the Reader Introduction
About the Reader

The Gryphon GFS4400 is a fully self-contained standard range 2D bar code scanning module
for use in OEM applications such as self service kiosks or other semi-automated equipment
requiring the ability to read a bar code. It is intended to be an easy integration by system
designers with little expertise in scanning technology. Unlike currently available products, the
GFS4400 uses the latest and fastest imaging technology and offers Datalogic’s Green Spot for
targeting and good read feedback.
The scanning technology is essentially the same as the Gryphon I 4400 handheld scanner family
of area imagers, with some enhancements for presentation reading and improved motion
tolerance. The enclosure is designed for ease of integration, is sealed to IP54 for cleaning, and is
constructed of a solvent- and disinfectant-tolerant resin for health care applications.
Advancements in the LED technology used in the imager-based readers significantly improve
the illumination of the target field of view, resulting in higher scan efficiency.
The GFS4400 is available in two different data interface versions:
• Gryphon I GFS4470 Gryphon Fixed Scanner 2D Imager USB
• Gryphon I GFS4450-9 Gryphon Fixed Scanner 2D Imager RS-232 9-pin connector
Programming the Reader
Configuration Methods
Programming Bar Codes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section for
your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters"
starting on page 21.
Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults" on page 19, require only the scan of the
single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in Programming
Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code once to enter Programming
Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before
scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code a second time, which will then accept your changes, exit
Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.
There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described
above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when
configuring each programmable feature.

Introduction Programming the Reader
Datalogic Aladdin™
Programming can alternatively be performed using the Datalogic Aladdin™ Configuration
application. Aladdin™ is a multi-platform utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS-232/USB-COM interface. It communicates to the device
through a user-friendly graphical interface running on a PC. Selected configuration commands
are sent to the reader over the selected communication interface using a serial or USB cable, or
they can be printed as bar codes to be scanned.
Aladdin also provides the ability to perform a software upgrade for the connected device (see the
Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for more details).
Aladdin is available for free download from the Datalogic website.
Software Configuration Strings

The reader can also be configured by using command strings. These strings can be sent via the
RS232/USB-COM interface using a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal.
Refer to"Software Configuration Strings" starting on page 217 for configuration procedures using
Serial Strings sent by the Host."
Chapter 2
Setup
Unpacking
Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If
any damage occurred during shipment, contact Datalogic Technical Support. Information is
shown on page 10.
KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its
original shipping container.
Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and communicating
with its host.
1. Begin by connecting the scan module to the host. The correct Interface Selection will
occur automatically.
2. If modifications are needed, go to Interface Selection and set the desired interface.
3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)
4. Go to Configuring Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Setup Attaching Reader to Host
Attaching Reader to Host

RS-232 Serial Connection
Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to the terminal/PC serial port via the
RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 1. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the
Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC
Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter
plug into a standard power outlet.
Figure 1. RS-232 Connection
USB Connection
Connect the reader to a USB port on the terminal/PC. Reference Figure 2.

Figure 2. USB connection
Interface Selection Setup
Interface Selection
Since your scanner should have shipped with the correct interface cable (RS-232 or USB), the
interface type should already be defined. If you need to change the interface type, go to Table 1
starting on page 16 and scan the appropriate bar code in that section.
Each reader model will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:
GFS4450-9 Model GFS4470 Model

• RS-232-STD • USB-COM, USB-OEM, USB-KBD,
• RS-232 Wincor-Nixdorf USB_KBD-ALT, USB-KBD-Apple
If your installation requires you to select options to customize your reader, turn to the
appropriate section for your interface type in "Configuration Using Bar Codes" starting on page 21
(also listed beside each interface type in Table 1 on page 16).
Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections

require that you scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT
scan an ENTER/EXIT bar code prior to scanning an interface selection bar
code.
Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state when
powered up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this
state, pull the trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will
change to a state that allows programming with bar codes.

Data Format
Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (convert to Hex using the
ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual), used to identify a bar code symbology
type. It can be appended previous to or following the transmitted bar code data depending upon
how this option is enabled. This feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs or
individually per symbology (see "Individually Set Label ID" on page 57). If you wish to
program the reader to always include an industry standard label identifier for ALL symbology
types, see the previous feature "Global AIM ID" on page 53.
See Label ID, starting on page 257 of “References” for more information on setting this feature.
Label ID: Pre-Loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. See Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets, starting on
page 257 for details on the USA set and EU set.
Unlike some programming features and options, this feature requires that you
scan only one programming bar code label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar
code prior to scanning the bar codes below.
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configuration
settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and set to the stan-
dard factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom defaults will be lost.
CAUTION

This feature configures a Label ID individually for a single symbology. To set, first define
whether you want it as a prefix or suffix by scanning a label below. Then turn to Label ID
Symbology Selection • 1D Symbologies, starting on page 58 to select the symbology you want
to set, followed by up to 3 characters from the ASCII Chart at the back of this manual. See
"Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology" on page 260 for detailed instructions on setting this
feature.

label and sees the same label again within the specified timeout, the second read is ignored.
Double Read Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label
read. The timeout can be set within a range of 20 milliseconds to 2,550 milliseconds (2.55
seconds) in 10ms increments.

Reading Parameters
MULTIPLE LABEL READING

When the reader’s aiming system is activated by a trigger push or other method (depending on
the mode), it then acquires and processes each image in the area in front of it (the Volume). In
this case, the scanner stops processing the image once it decodes a label. If several labels are
present in the volume, only the first label encountered is decoded and sent.
When Multiple Reading Mode is enabled, the scanner keeps on processing the image until all
the labels present are decoded. The reader then sorts the data from all the bar codes (if
configured to do so) before transmitting it.
Multiple Labels per Frame

Specifies the ability of the reader to decode and transmit a set of code labels in a specific volume
and in a single frame of time. When in Multiple Labels per Frame the reader beeps and turns on
the good read LED indication for each code read in a frame.
When Multiple Labels Mode is enabled, ISBT pairing, ABC Codabar pairing, and composites
are not allowed.

NOTES

Chapter 4
RS-232 models (as well as USB models with the USB-COM Interface selected) can be
configured using the serial strings contained in this chapter.
To configure RS-232 models by using the configuration strings:
1. Connect your reader to a PC RS-232 port according to the information in Attaching

Reader to Host, starting on page 14. Set the PC serial port to the default RS-232 communi-
cation parameters (see , starting on page 289).
To configure the reader using configuration strings you must
enter Service Mode, which automatically sets the reader commu-
nication to 115200 baud rate. You must therefore set the host
accordingly for RS-232 communications. Upon exiting Service
Mode, the programmed baud rate will be restored.
2. Using Datalogic Aladdin (available on the Datalogic website) or a Terminal Emulation

Program, send the Restore Current Interface (Custom) Default string to the reader using
the syntax described on the next page.
3. Send all the necessary command strings according to your application's requirements.
To configure USB models (only for USB-COM Interface) by using the configuration strings:
USB models by default have the USB-COM Interface selected.
They can be easily configured by reading the barcodes in
Interface Selection, starting on page 15.
1. Download and install the USB-COM driver from www.adc.datalogic.com .
2. Connect your reader to a PC USB port according to the information in Attaching Reader
to Host, starting on page 14.
3. Change the interface to USB-COM by reading the barcode below.

Example 4:
Some parameters (ex. Strings) need to insert all the characters (typically 20 Chrs). For example,
to apply the Chr "T" (0x54) as Serial Stop String:
1. $S<CR>
Enter Service Mode
2. $CSTON5400000000000000000000000000000000000000<CR>
Select the string:"T" (54 = T) as Serial Stop Character. You must insert all the 20 Chrs (00
= one empty Chr)
3. $Ar<CR>

To configure the reader using configuration strings, it must be placed

into Service Mode, which automatically sets the reader communica-
tion to 115200 baud rate. You must therefore set the host accordingly
for RS-232 communications. Upon exiting Service Mode, the pro-
grammed baud rate will be restored.

Baud Rate
Baud rate is the number of bits of data transmitted per second. Set the reader's baud rate to
match the baud rate setting of the host device. With an improper baud rate setting, data may
not reach the host correctly.
Stop Bits
The stop bit(s) at the end of each transmitted character marks the end of transmission of one
character and prepares the receiving device for the next character in the serial data stream. The
number of stop bits selected (one or two) depends on the number the receiving terminal is
programmed to accommodate. Set the number of stop bits to match host device requirements.
Parity
This feature specifies parity required for sending and receiving data. A parity check bit is the
most significant bit of each ASCII coded character. Select the parity type according to host
device requirements.
• Select None when no parity bit is required.
• Select Odd parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an
odd number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
• Select Even parity and the parity bit value is set to 0 or 1, based on data, to ensure that an
even number of 1 bits are contained in the coded character.
Handshaking Control
The data interface consists of an RS-232 port designed to operate either with or without the
hardware handshaking lines, Request to Send (RTS), and Clear to Send (CTS). Handshaking
Control includes the following options:
• RTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored.
• RTS/CTS — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions.
• RTS/XON/XOFF — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS is ignored. XON and
XOFF gate transmissions.
• RTS On/CTS — RTS is always asserted. CTS gates transmissions.
RTS/CTS Scan Control — RTS is asserted during transmissions. CTS gates transmissions and
controls enable and disable state of scanner.

RS-232 Parameters References
RS-232/USB COM Parameters
Intercharacter Delay
This parameter specifies the intercharacter delay between the end of one character and the
beginning of the next. The delay can be set within a range of zero (0) to 990 milliseconds in
10ms increments. A setting of zero specifies no delay.
To set the delay:
1. Determine the desired setting in milliseconds.

2. Divide the desired setting by 10 (setting is in 10ms increments). Pad the result with lead-
ing zeroes to yield two digits. For example: 0 = 00, 5 = 05, 20 = 20, etc.
3. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to enter Programming
Mode.
4. Go to page 31 and scan the bar code: SELECT INTERCHARACTER DELAY SET-
TING.
5. Scan the appropriate two digits from the keypad in Appendix E, Keypad, that represent the
duration which was determined in the steps above. You will hear a two-beep indication
after the last character.
If you make a mistake before the last character, scan the CANCEL bar code to
abort and not save the entry string. You can then start again at the beginning.
6. Scan the ENTER/EXIT PROGRAMMING MODE bar code to exit.

This completes the procedure. See Table 25 for some examples of how to set this feature.

ACK NAK Options

This enables/disables the ability of the reader to support the RS-232 ACK/NAK protocol.
When configured, the reader and/or host sends an “ACK” when it receives data properly, and
sends “NAK” when the data is in error.
Options are:
• Disable
• Enable for label transmission — The reader expects an ACK/NAK response from the host
when a label is sent.
• Enable for host-command acknowledge — The reader will respond with ACK/NAK
when the host sends a command.
• Enable for label transmission and host-command acknowledge
ACK Character
This setting specifies an ASCII character or hex value to be used as the ACK character. ASCII
characters or any hex value from 0 to 0xFF can be selected.
Setting to previously defined characters such as XON, XOFF, or host com-
mands conflicts with normal operation of these characters. 8-bit data is not
recognized when the option Data Bits has been set as 7 Data Bits.
1. Determine the desired character or value.

2. Use the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual to find the hex equivalent for
the desired character/value.

Data Editing
When a bar code is scanned, additional information can be sent to the host computer along
with the bar code data. This combination of bar code data and supplementary user-defined data
is called a “message string.” The Data Editing features can be used to build specific user-defined
data into a message string.
There are several types of selectable data characters that can be sent before and after scanned
data. You can specify if they should be sent with all symbologies, or only with specific
symbologies. Figure 3 shows the available elements you can add to a message string:

Additional advanced editing is available. See the Advanced formatting fea-

tures in the Datalogic Aladdin configuration software, or contact Technical
Support (as described on page 10) for more information.
Please Keep In Mind...

• Modifying a message string is not a mandatory requirement. Data editing is a sophisti-
cated feature allowing highly customizable output for advanced users. Factory default set-
tings for data editing is typically set to NONE.

Data Editing References
• A prefix or suffix may be applied only to a specified symbology (reference 1D Code

Selection, starting on page 93) or across all symbologies (set via the Global features in this
chapter).
• You can add any character from the ASCII Chart (from 00-FF) on the inside back cover of
this manual as a prefix, suffix or Label ID.
• Enter prefixes and suffixes in the order in which you want them to appear on the output.
Global Prefix/Suffix
Up to 20 ASCII characters may be added as a prefix (in a position before the bar code data) and/
or as a suffix (in a position following the bar code data) as indicated in Figure 4.

Global AIM ID
This feature enables/disables addition of AIM IDs for all symbology types.
AIM label identifiers (as opposed to custom characters you select yourself as with label
identifiers) can be included with scanned bar code data. AIM label identifiers consist of three
characters as follows:
• A close brace character (ASCII ‘]’), followed by...
• A code character (see the table below), followed by...
• A modifier character (the modifier character is symbol dependent).

Label ID
A Label ID is a customizable code of up to three ASCII characters (each can be one of hex 0x01-
0xFF), used to identify a bar code (symbology) type. It can be appended previous to or
following the transmitted bar code data depending upon how this option is enabled. This
feature provides options for configuring custom Label IDs as a pre-loaded set (see "Label ID:
Pre-loaded Sets" below) or individually per symbology (see "Label ID: Set Individually Per Symbology"
on page 260). If you wish to program the reader to always include an industry standard label
identifier for ALL symbology types, see "Global AIM ID" on page 53.
Label ID: Pre-loaded Sets

The reader supports two pre-loaded sets of Label IDs. Table 33 shows the USA and the EU sets.
When changing from one Label ID set to another, all other reader configu-
ration settings, including the host interface type, will be erased and set to
the standard factory defaults. Any custom configuration or custom defaults
will be lost.

Character Conversion
Character conversion is an eight byte configuration item. The eight bytes are 4 character pairs
represented in hexadecimal ASCII values. The first character in the pair is the character that will
be converted. The second character in the pair is the character to convert to. If the character to
convert in a pair is FF, then no conversion is done.
For example, if you have the character conversion configuration item set to the following:
41423132FFFFFFFF
The first pair is 4142 or AB (41 hex is an ASCII capital A, 42 hex is an ASCII capital B) and the
second pair is 3132 or 12 (31 hex is an ASCII 1, 32 is an ASCII 2). The other two pairs are
FFFF and FFFF.
With the label, AB12BA21, it would look as follows after the character conversion: BB22BB22.
The A characters were converted to B characters and the 1 characters were converted to 2
characters. Nothing is done with the last two character pairs, since they are all FF.
To set Character Conversion:
1. Go to page 67 and scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code.

2. Scan the “Configure Character Conversion” bar code.
3. Determine the desired string. Sixteen positions must be determined as in the above exam-
ple. Next, turn to the ASCII Chart on the inside back cover of this manual and find the
equivalent hex digits needed to fulfill the string.
4. Turn to Appendix E, Keypad and scan the bar codes representing the hex characters deter-
mined in the previous step.
5. Scan the ENTER/EXIT bar code to exit Programming Mode.

Double Read Timeout

Double Read Timeout prevents a double read of the same label by setting the minimum time
allowed between reads of labels of the same symbology and data. If the unit reads a label and
sees the same label again within the specified timeout, the second read is ignored. Double Read
Timeout does not apply to scan modes that require a trigger pull for each label read.

Scanning Features
Operating Mode
The following Operating Modes (Reading Modes) are supported:
On Line
In On Line mode, the reading phase is defined as the time between the Phase ON and Phase
OFF events. The Phase events can be generated by an external input (trigger) or by the Trigger
button. While in this mode the scanner activates reading only during a reading phase. The
Phase events can be signals coming from the trigger button (or external presence sensor
connected to the scanner input for RS-232 models).
On Line mode allows the following configurations:
Phase Off Event: Specifies whether the reading phase is closed on a timeout or phase off event.
The following selections are available:
• Trigger Stop: the reading phase ends when the trigger event stops. Timeout is disabled.
• Timeout: the reading phase ends when the timeout is expired. Trigger stop is ignored.
• Trigger Stop - Timeout: the reading phase ends when the first event occured.
Timeout: Specifies the maximum duration for the reading phase. Selections: from 1 to 255
seconds in 1 second increments.
Serial On Line
In Serial On Line mode, a reading phase is defined as the time between two events: phase on
and phase off, generated by a message sent from the host interface to the scanner. While in this
mode the scanner activates reading only during a reading phase. The message (character or
string) is user programmable.
Serial On Line mode configurations:
Serial Start Character (or String): Specifies the string message to be sent over the host interface
to activate the reading phase.
Serial Stop Character (or String): Specifies the string message to be sent over the host interface
to stop the reading phase.
The Serial Start/Stop Characters must be different and must not contain
reserved characters (see Appendix F, Reserved Characters).
See "Manual Trigger Control" on page 83 to configure control of manual trig-

gering.

Scanning Features References
Phase Off Event: Specifies whether the reading phase is closed on a timeout or phase off event.
The following selections are available:
• Trigger Stop: the reading phase ends when the serial stop character (or string) is received.
Timeout is disabled.
• Timeout: the reading phase ends when the timeout is expired. Serial stop character (or
string) is ignored.
• Trigger Stop - Timeout: the reading phase ends when the first event occured.
Timeout (Scanning Active Time option): Specifies the maximum duration for the reading
phase. Selections: from 1 to 255 seconds in 1 second increments.
Automatic Mode
In Automatic mode, the scanner is continuously scanning. When a label enters the reading zone
and is decoded, no more decodes and reading phases are allowed until the label has left the
reading area. In order to guarantee identification of the code in the reading zone, a threshold
specifies the number of scans after the successful decode that the scanner will wait before
rearming the reading phase. The transmission of the decoded label depends on the
configuration of the Transmission Mode parameter.
Automatic/Trigger Object Sense

Automatic/TOS mode is the same as Automatic mode but with the illumination system
normally off*. As an object or bar code enters the reading area, illumination is turned ON.
Illumination will return to the Presentation Illumination Control setting as the reading phase is
closed (see Automatic Mode above).
*Default. The illumination can be programmed for several different operation states
(off, dim or on) while the reading phase is not active. See "Presentation Illumination
Control" on page 86.

Output Activation:
Digital Output can be set to be Activated/Deactivated when specified events occur.

Scanning Active Time

This setting specifies the amount of time that the reader stays in scan ON state once the state is
entered. It controls the Timeout within On Line & Serial On Line read modes Phase Off Event.
The range for this setting is from 1 to 255 seconds in 1-second increments.

Multiple Labels Ordering by Code Symbology

This feature Specifies the transmission ordering by symbology type, when Multiple Labels per
Frame is enabled.Up to six symbologies can be selected. Zeroes must be added to pad the string
to 12 characters if not using all six symbologies.
The labels are ordered first as specified in the output mask. Labels present in the volume but not
specified will be transmitted as unspecified symbologies in random order as allowed by the
reading time sequence. For each label decoded in the volume the reader signals the standard
beeper and LED indications.
To specify the symbology order:
1. Determine the symbologies and order you want to specify.
2. Use Table 40 on page 273 to find the hex values for up to six symbologies.

Indicators
The reader’s beeper sounds and its LED illuminates to indicate various functions or errors on the
reader. An optional “Green Spot” also performs useful functions. The following tables list these
indications. One exception to the behaviors listed in the tables is that the reader’s functions are
programmable, and so may or may not be turned on. For example, certain indications such as the
power-up beep can be disabled using programming bar code labels.

NOTES

Appendix B
Aimer Calibration
The Scan Modules in the GFS4400 series
contain a laser-based aiming system
consisting of four corner dots and a center
crosshair pattern that helps define the
reading volume. The center cross location in
the imager's Field Of View (FOV) is
recorded and logged in the system's non-
volatile memory (calibration process), and
facilitates the Central Code Only operation.
Central Code Only is a programmable
mode of operation which controls the scan
module's ability to decode labels only when
they are close to the center of the aiming
pattern. This allows the reader to accurately target a particular label when there are multiple bar
codes placed close together, such as on a pick sheet.
The imager's sensor has a resolution of WVGA (752H x 480V) and typical 'aimer coordinates'
will be in the realm of 03350235, which translates to a location 335H x 235V in the FOV.
These coordinate values will change slightly from scanner to scanner, and are also dependent
upon Depth of Field (DOF) when calibration is performed.
Aimer calibration can be done using simple Command
Strings within the reader's Service Mode of operation
(described in "Software Configuration Strings" starting
on page 217). Recalibration of the reader's aimer can
be done if it is believed that performance can be
improved by calibrating at a specific depth of field (a
recalibration), or if some special application would
benefit by custom configuring and writing in
'phantom coordinates'1.
Below are the commands available for aimer
calibration, followed by examples.
Fx - Aiming Auto Calibration. The reader will switch on the laser aimer, determine the
coordinates of the center cross, and store into the factory non-volatile memory area (Aimer
Calibration).
Fa - Aiming Read Coordinates. Returns the coordinates of the center of the aiming pattern
or the custom coordinates set from user defined (FA).
1. Phantom Coordinates - aimer coordinates custom programmed into a scanner's Field of View location rather than at
the aimer's center crosshairs.

Aimer Calibration
FA - Aiming Write Coordinates. Writes specified coordinates into the factory non-volatile
memory area. Use this command if you wish to override any other previously written; factory,
user or custom calibration or setting.
Examples shown use the terminal window tool provided within Datalogic Aladdin
configuration utility (available from the Datalogic website), or any other serial terminal utility.
In Aladdin with terminal window opened, check the Log box and then click on Select
Connection to provide the reader’s COM port information.
Command Window
The Select Connection dialog box will open:
To perform any of the Aiming commands, use the following steps:
1. Set the reader into Service Mode2 with the initial command of $S <CR>.
The reader will respond with an ascending set of beeps. While in this mode the green indi-
cator will stay on, communication is at 115K baud, and the reader will respond to proper
commands with $>.
2. When finished, exit Service Mode with the command $s <CR>.

The reader will respond with a descending set of beeps, and the green indicator will turn
off.
3. Reset baud rate (if necessary).

The reader will now be back to normal operation.
2 While in Service Mode, the reader communicates at 115K baud. Upon entering into this mode, you must immediately
change to this speed (if not already set), then change back to the original rate after exiting Service Mode.

Auto Calibration
To Auto Calibrate the scanner, do the following:
1. Position and steady the reader in front of a plain flat sheet of paper or surface at a Depth
of Field (distance) that is most appropriate for the application.
2. Send the command $Fx. The reader will turn the aimer on for an instant, then beep.
The reader will reply with one of the following beep types in response to the auto calibra-
tion result:
• Loud/ Long Beep = crosshair detected and new coordinates recorded into a non-vola-
tile memory location ($> )
• Loud/Short Beep = crosshair detected with same coordinates as already stored ($> )
• Quiet/Short Beep = Execution error, the procedure failed to determine the crosshair
coordinates ($@)
Reading Coordinates
To read the aimer coordinates currently set, simply send the command $Fa. The reader will
return a set of numbers in the following format: $>xxxxyyyy, which translates to xxxx as
the horizontal position and yyyy being the vertical position.
A complete sequence [enter—autocalibrate—read coordinates—exit] would look similar to the
following:
$S
$> (ensure baud rate is set to 115K)
$Fx
$>
$Fa
$>03350235
$s
$> (reset baud rate if necessary)
Writing Coordinates
To write custom coordinates into the reader’s memory, overwriting previous values, use the
command $FAxxxxyyyy, where xxxx is a four-digit decimal value in the range of 0-752
and yyyy is a four digit decimal value in the range of 0-480.
A complete sequence [enter—write 200 100—read coordinates—exit] would look similar to the
following:
$S
$> (ensure baud rate is set for 115K)
$FA02000100
$>
$Fa
$>02000100
$s
$> (reset baud rate if necessary)

Scancode Tables
Control Character Emulation

Control character emulation selects from different scancode tables as listed in this appendix.
Each of the control character sets below are detailed by interface type in the tables. These apply
to USB Keyboard platforms.
Control Character 00 : Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Keys,
Control Character 01 : Characters from 00 to 0x1F are sent as control character Ctrl+Capital
Key, special keys are located from 0x80 to 0xA1.
Control Character 02 : Special keys are located from 00 to 0x1F and characters from 0x80 to
0xFE are intended as an extended ASCII table (Microsoft Windows Codepage 1252 — See
page -316.)
Single Press and Release Keys

In the following tables, Ar↓ means Alt right pressed and Ar↑ means Alt right released and so on.
Definitions for other keys are Al (Alt left ), Cr (Control Right ) Cl (Control Left ) Sh (shift).
This method can be used for combining Alt, Control or Shift with other keys.
Example: Consider a Control character set to 00. If AltRight+A is required before sending a
label to the host, it could be done by setting three Prefix keys in this way: 0x99 0x41 0x9A.
