INTRODUCTION

1 INTRODUCTION
Datalogic has moved a step ahead in the concept of “instinctive reading. ”The new Gryphon™ reader series 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 (D130 and D230) and two cordless (M130 and M230) 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 (D230 and M230) 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.

2.8 GRYPHON™ MX30 BATTERY MAINTENANCE

2.8.1 Battery Type
You can install NiMh or Alkaline AA batteries in the Gryphon™ Mx30.
2.8.2 Battery Charging
Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the Gryphon™ Mx30 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 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.

3 GRYPHON™ MX30 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.
10
GRYPHON™ MX30 SYSTEM AND NETWORK LAYOUTS

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™ Mx30 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.
11
3
GRYPHON™ Dx30/Mx30

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™ Mx30 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.

GRYPHON™ Dx30/Mx30

4.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host

An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the RS232 or USB-COM 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™ Dx30 Series readers, follow the setup procedures in pars. 4.3, 4.6 and 4.7.
For Gryphon™ Mx30 Series readers, the setup procedures depend on two basic 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).
STAR-System™ applications allow communication with the Host through an RS485 network by the STARGATE™ RF base station or by the STAR-Modem™ radio modem (par. 4.5).

4.7 USB READER CONFIGURATION

The USB interface is compatible with:
Windows 98 (and later) IBM POS for Windows Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 4690 Operating System
USB Start-up
As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by communicating with the Gryphon™ Dx30. During this phase the green LED on the Gryphon™ Dx30 reader blinks and normal operations are suspended. Two basic conditions must be met before the Gryphon™ Dx30 is ready to read codes, correct USB driver must be loaded and sufficient power must be supplied to the reader.
For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default USB-KBD interface is included in the Host Operating System and will either be loaded automatically or will be suggested by the O.S. and should therefore be selected from the dialog box (the first time only).
Normally the Host supplies sufficient power to the reader, the start-up phase ends correctly, the green LED stops blinking and the reader emits the beep OK signal.
In rare cases, if the Host does not supply sufficient

power to the reader, a dialog box will appear on the Host and the reader will be blocked (green LED continues blinking). In this case, disconnect the USB device cable
at the Host (green LED stops blinking); and then try a different USB port as indicated by the Operating System message. The reader emits the

At this point you can read the USB interface configuration code according to your application. Load drivers from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the USB­COM interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed from the USB Device Installation software which can be downloaded from the web page http://www.datalogic.com.
The reader is ready to read barcodes. Successive start-ups will automatically recognize the previously loaded drivers.

4.8 CHANGING DEFAULT SETTINGS

Once your reader is setup, you can change the default parameters to meet your application needs. Refer to the preceding paragraphs for initial configuration in order to set the default values and select the interface for your application.
In this manual, the configuration parameters are divided into logical groups making it easy to find the desired function based on its reference group.
The first four groups are for Standard Interface parameter configuration:
RS232
USB
WEDGE
PEN EMULATION
The following parameter groups are common to all interface applications:
DATA FORMAT parameters regard the messages sent to the Host system for all interfaces except Pen Emulation.
POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading device.
READING PARAMETERS control various operating modes and indicator status
functioning.
DECODING PARAMETERS maintain correct barcode decoding in certain special reading conditions.
CODE SELECTION parameters allow configuration of a personalized mix of codes, code families and their options.
ADVANCED FORMATTING PARAMETERS allow code concatenation and advanced formatting of messages towards the Host. It cannot be used with Pen Emulation connections.
RADIO PARAMETERS (Mx30 series only) allow configuration of radio control parameters.

KEYBOARD SETTING

ALPHANUMERIC KEYBOARD SETTING
The reader can be used with terminals or PCs with various keyboard types and nationalities through a simple keyboard setting procedure.
The type of computer or terminal must be selected before activating the keyboard setting command.
Keyboard setting consists of communicating to the reader how to send data corresponding to the keyboard used in the application. The keys must be set in a specific order.
Press and release a key to set it.
Some characters may require more than one key pressed simultaneously during normal use (refer to the manual of your PC or terminal for keyboard use). The exact sequence must be indicated to the reader in this case pressing and releasing the different keys.
Example:
If one has to press the "Shift" and "4" keys simultaneously on the keyboard to transmit the character "$" to the video, to set the "$", press and release "Shift" then press and release "4".
Each pressed and released key must generate an acoustic signal on the reader, otherwise repress the key. Never press more than one key at the same time, even if this corresponds to the normal use of your keyboard.
Press "Backspace" to correct a wrong key entry. In this case the reader emits 2 beeps. Note: "CAPS LOCK" and "NUM LOCK" must be off before starting the keyboard setting procedure. "SHIFT" must be repressed for each character and cannot be substituted by "CAPS LOCK".

AIM standard identifiers are not defined for all codes: the X identifier is assigned to the
code for which the standard is not defined. The y value depends on the selected options (check digit tested or not, check digit tx or not, etc.).
When customizing the Datalogic Standard code identifiers, 1 or 2 identifier characters can
be defined for each code type. If only 1 identifier character is required, the second character must be selected as FF (disabled).
