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.

CAUTION
Connections should always be made with power OFF!
2.1 GRYPHON™ DX30 INTERFACE CABLE CONNECTIONS
The Gryphon™ Dx30 reader incorporates a multi-standard interface which can be
nnected to a Host by plugging the correct interface cable into the connector as shown
elow.

2.2 OM-GRYPHON™ INTERFACE CABLE CONNECTIONS
Interface Cable
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 Host 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™ MX30 BATTERY MAINTENANCE
2.8.1 Battery Type
You can install NiMh, NiCd 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 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.

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.
