  • Page 11: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Datalogic has moved a step ahead in the concept of “instinctive reading". The new Gryphon™ BT reader series has been developed to provide optimised reading performance through excellent ergonomic design, a natural instinctive reading approach and innovative good reading feedback.

  • Page 12: Gryphon™ Bt Power

    GRYPHON™ BT GRYPHON™ BT POWER To begin using your Gryphon™ BT reader you must charge the Gryphon™ BT battery using C-Gryphon charger as described in par. 2.3 and in the Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes 4 hours with NiMh batteries. POWERING THE C-GRYPHON Connections should always be made with power off! CAUTION...

    GRYPHON™ BT BATTERY MAINTENANCE BATTERY TYPE You can install NiMh, NiCd or Alkaline AA batteries in the GRYPHON™ BT. BATTERY CHARGING Once the system is connected and powered, you can place the GRYPHON™ BT onto the cradle to charge the battery. Charging the batteries Battery Charging...
  • Page 14 GRYPHON™ BT Since it is not practical to wait for the reader to be fully discharged before recharging it, the C-GRYPHON BT 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.

    GRYPHON™ BT CONFIGURATION 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 to change the default settings, this manual provides complete configuration of your reader in an easy way.

  • Page 21: Sending Configuration Strings From Host

    CONFIGURATION 4.1.4 Sending Configuration Strings from Host An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the C-Gryphon connected to the Host via the RS232 interface. Batch files containing the desired parameter settings can be prepared to configure devices quickly and easily. This method is particularly useful when many devices need to be configured with the same settings.
