INTRODUCTION
1 INTRODUCTION
Datalogic has moved a step ahead in the concept of “instinctive reading. ”The new
Gryphon™ reader has been developed to provide optimised reading performance
through excellent ergonomic design, a natural instinctive reading approach and
innovative good reading feedback.
The “INSTINCTIVE READING DISTANCE,” a concept introduced by Datalogic a few
years ago based on in-depth ergonomic studies, represents the natural position of the
user while reading a code. The Gryphon™ series takes this concept one step
further. The series includes two tethered (D100 and D200) and two cordless (M100
and M200) models, allowing operations anywhere mobility is required at the
desk/POS and around the shop floor, as well as in a small warehouse. The new
“green spot,” (Datalogic patent application) produced by the Gryphon™ provides
“good reading” feedback directly on the code, where the user usually tends to be
looking. Correct pointing becomes quick and easy thanks to the sharp and bright
illumination line. All these characteristics are coupled with outstanding performance in
terms of reading quickness and decoding capability thanks to state-of-the-art optics
and a decode rate of 270 scans/sec, making the Gryphon™ very user friendly,
intuitive and fast.
Specially optimised optics allow reading of the most popular standard codes with
superior depths of field from near contact to over 30 cm. High resolution codes, which
can reach 3 mils are also easily read. Two specific models of the Gryphon™ series
(D200 and M200) have also been designed to provide decoding of the PDF417, as
well as traditional barcodes. The Gryphon™ reader series is paving the road for
innovative barcode reading.

2.1 GRYPHON™ D INTERFACE CABLE CONNECTIONS
The Gryphon™ D reader incorporates a multi-standard interface which can be
connected to a Host by plugging the correct interface cable into the connector as
shown below.
To disconnect the cable, insert a paper clip or other similar object into the slot on the
reader battery cover while unplugging the cable from the Gryphon™ D body.
Connections should always be made with power OFF!

2.2 OM-GRYPHON™ INTERFACE CABLE CONNECTIONS
OM-GRYPHON™ Connectors
The OM-GRYPHON™ incorporates a multi-standard interface which can be connected
to a Host by simply plugging the correct interface cable into the connector, placed on
the base of the cradle. In addition the cradle must be connected to an external power
supply.
To disconnect the cable, insert a paper clip or other similar object into the hole
corresponding to the Host connector on the body of the cradle.
Push down on the clip while unplugging the cable.

2.8 GRYPHON™ M BATTERY MAINTENANCE
2.8.1 Battery Type
You can install NiMh, NiCd or Alkaline AA batteries in the Gryphon™ M.
2.8.2 Battery Charging
Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the Gryphon™ M into the
cradle to charge the battery.
When the scanner is correctly inserted in the cradle, the red LED on the cradle goes on
to indicate that the battery is charging. The green LED on the cradle goes on when the
battery is completely charged.
When using NiCd or NiMh batteries, frequent recharging before fully discharging can
cause a “memory effect” in which the batteries assume a reduced capacity.
Since it is not practical to wait for the reader to be fully discharged before recharging it,
the OM-Gryphon™ and the C-Gryphon™ are provided with a battery-reconditioning
feature which overcomes the “memory effect” problem.
To perform battery reconditioning, simply press the battery-reconditioning key on the
cradle control panel: the battery will be fully discharged in a short period of time (red
LED flashing), then automatically recharged.
We recommend performing the battery reconditioning once every few months or
whenever you feel the battery capacity has decreased.
2.8.3 Replacing GRYPHON™ M Batteries
To change the batteries in your Gryphon™ M scanner, proceed as follows:
1.Unscrew the battery cover screw.

2. Open the battery cover.
3. Replace the old batteries with new ones, then screw the battery cover back into
place.
WARNING
8
NiMh, NiCd, or Alkaline AA Batteries
Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to
high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified
charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by
an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries as required by the
relevant laws in force.
GRYPHON™ M SYSTEM AND NETWORK LAYOUTS
3 GRYPHON™ M SYSTEM AND NETWORK LAYOUTS
There are two basic system layouts that can be employed: Stand Alone systems and
Multidrop STAR-System™ Networks.
3.1 STAND ALONE LAYOUTS
3.1.1 Single Reader Layout
3.1.2 Multiple Reader Layout
In stand alone systems, each cradle is connected to a single Host.
9
GRYPHON™
3.1.3 Multiple Stand Alone Layouts
Many stand alone connections can operate in the same physical area without
interference, provided all readers and cradles in the system have different addresses.
Multiple Stand Alone Systems in the Same Area
Since the cradles can communicate to multiple Gryphon™ M scanners, you might
find it useful to employ one or more C-Gryphon™ battery chargers in addition to the
OM-Gryphon™ cradle, so that the battery re-charging operation can be performed for
several scanners at the same time.
10
GRYPHON™ M SYSTEM AND NETWORK LAYOUTS
3.2 MULTIDROP STAR-SYSTEM™ NETWORK LAYOUTS
Even though many stand alone systems can operate in the same physical area without
interfering with each other, it may be desirable to bridge data from multiple base stations
in a network to a single
Host. Gryphon™ M readers are compatible with
STAR-System™ networks. These networks provide seamless active roaming for any
RF reading device in the system.
3.2.1 Host Master Layout
A. Host Master with STAR-Link™
B. STAR-Box™ converter
C. STARGATE™ base stations
Example Multidrop STAR-System™ Network with Host as Master
In this layout the Host acts as the Master using STAR-Link™ software. The Host is
connected in RS232 to a STAR-Box™ converter which is connected to the first slave in
the RS485 network. In this way the base stations provide communications between a
single Host
and all readers in the system. STARGATE™ base stations are used as
slaves in this network. The Slaves at the ends of the network must be terminated (see
the STARGATE™ and STAR-Box™ Installation Manuals).
See par. 4.5 and or the Sm@rtSet Help On-Line for system configuration
specifications.

4.1 CONFIGURATION METHODS
4.1.1 Reading Configuration Barcodes
This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration of your reader by
following the setup procedures in this chapter (see par. 4.2 for an overview).
If
you wish
configuration of your reader in an easy way.
To configure your reader:
1) Open the folded page in Appendix C with the hex-numeric table and keep it
open during the device configuration.
2) Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page
of configuration.
3) Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections following the
procedures given for each group.
to change the default settings, this manual provides complete
4) Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of
each page of configuration.
Reference notes describing the operation of the more complex parameters are given
in chapter 5.
4.1.2 Using DL Sm@rtSet
DL Sm@rtSet is a Windows-based utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS232 interface.
It also allows upgrading the software of the connected device (see the DL Sm@rtSet
User's Manual for more details).
4.1.3 Copy Command
A previously configured device (Master), can be used to send its configuration directly to
other devices of the same type (Slaves). The particular procedure for each device is
given in par. 5.10.

CONFIGURATION
4.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host
An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS232
interface. This method is particularly useful when many devices need to be
configured with the same settings. Batch files containing the desired parameter
settings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily.
4.2 SETUP PROCEDURES
For Gryphon™ D-Series readers, follow the setup procedures in pars. 4.3 and 4.6.
For Gryphon™ D USB readers, follow the setup procedures in par. 4.7.
Fo
r Gryphon™ M-Series readers, the setup procedures depend on two
applications, Stand Alone or STAR-System™.
Stand Alone applications allow communication with the Host by either the
OM-Gryphon™ cradle (par. 4.4), or by the STAR-Modem™ radio modem
(par. 4.4.2).
ST
AR-System™ applications allow communication w
ith the Host through an RS485
network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the STAR-Modem™ radio
modem (par. 4.5).
Proceed as shown in the following diagram:
