GENERAL DESCRIPTION

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 (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 state­of-the-art optics and a decode rate of 270 scans/sec, making the Gryphon™ very
user friendly, intuitive and fast.
Especially 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 most
popular stacked codes such as PDF417, CODABLOCK and CODE 16K, as well as
traditional bar codes. The Gryphon™ reader series is paving the road for
innovative bar code reading.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES

Plug & Play

The enhanced multi-interface architecture allows quick and easy connection to the
system. The user simply plugs the cable into the reader or the cradle and reads
the selected interface configuration code. No other settings are required to be
operative quickly. For the cordless models a simple iijoinls of the reader to its
cradle is sufficient to start the transmission.

Reading Aggressiveness

Once connected, the user can take advantage of the excellent reading speed
instantly, guaranteed both by a powerful hardware architecture and an enhanced

decoding software. In addition, idstate-of-the-artl optics permit the Gryphon™ to
read at superior depths of field (over 30 cm) never reached before by similar
products when reading the most popular codes. In the cordless models, the fast
reading cycle is guaranteed by a prompt response from the cradle.

Ergonomics and Friendliness

The Gryphon™ has been designed keeping in mind user's comfort. The handy
shape, wide reading angle, light weight and new patented iagreen spotle for good
reading feedback, are well combined features that prevent users from
overworking, making use of the Gryphon™ easy, intuitive and comfortable in a
number of applications. Acknowledgement from the cradle produces additional
feedback as result of transmission.

Flexibility and Versatility

The large set of configurable parameters allow the user to customise the
Gryphon™ for specific needs. Data Formatting, Data Editing, Reverse-Code
Reading and Hands-Free Reading with auto-trigger mode are only some of the
features available. The four models offered cover the needs of a large number of
applications.

Mobility and Autonomy

The cordless models of the Gryphon™ address the needs of many applications,
giving an additional value to the product wherever mobility is a must. Free from
cable constraint and entanglement, the models are ideal for small warehousing,
POS In Store and Cash and Carry applications and more than 6,000 operations
are possible per recharging cycle.

Broad Range Radio Coverage

A two way 433 MHz low power narrow band radio avoids interference and allows
an operating range of more than 30 m, covering an area of more than 2500
square meters.

GRYPHON MODELS AND ACCESSORIES

Gryphon™ D100 and D200 Models

The Gryphon™ D100 and D200 are the first two models of the reader series.
Created to satisfy the needs of a wide range of applications in retail and office
environments, they both provide reading of linear codes, while the D200 model
can also read 2D stacked codes such as PDF 417, CODABLOCK and Code 16K.

Gryphon™ M100 and M200 Models

The same set of features are available in the Gryphon™ M100 and M200, two
cordless models which add value wherever mobility is at a premium. The

ergonomically designed cradle functions both as a radio station and a recharge
base.

Stand, Desk Holder and Wall Holder

A small footprint to optimize desk space and
the modern design of the Gryphon™ stand
make this reader ideal for the needs of
smart environments, where elegance and
ergonomics are at a premium. The
Desk/Wall Holder add ease-of-use and
flexibility in many environments where work
space is limited.

DISTRIBUTION AND RETAIL

● POS/In-Store

● Shop/Small Warehouse

Management

● Document Handling

In typical retail environments such
as a supermarket point-of-sale, the
Gryphon™ complements flat bed
scanners perfectly, providing support
by reading heavy and large items as
well as poor quality and damaged
labels. It can also be useful in all
activities that take place on the shop

floor (e.g.

department store) where

incoming goods data logging,
inventory management, price
verification and document
management are common activities.
The ergonomic retail stand together with the automatic code detecting function
allow hand-free scanning typical of a presentation scanner, in checkout
environments where small items must be read frequently.
