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.
