1 INTRODUCTION
The Gryphon™ BT (Gryphon™ Bluetooth
®
) reader is a CCD wireless barcode
scanner which is part of one of the Cordless Reading Systems described below:
CSR Kit
When paired with the OM-Gryphon™ BT cradle, Gryphon™ BT builds a Cordless
Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. OM-
Gryphon™ BT can be connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232, Wedge or
Pen emulation cable. The OM-Gryphon™ BT cradle also serves as battery charger
for Gryphon™ BT.
CS Kit
Gryphon™ BT can also be used together with a Bluetooth
® compatible remote
device, to build a Cordless Reading System. The Bluetooth
® compatible remote
device can be a PC, PDA, printer, etc with a built-in Bluetooth
® device or with
external Bluetooth
® adapter (i.e. Bluetooth® dongle). In this case the C-Gryphon
cradle serves as battery charger for Gryphon™ BT.
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.
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™ BT series takes this concept one step
further. It allows wireless operations at the desk/POS within a 10 meter range. The
new “blue spot,” (Datalogic patent application) produced by the Gryphon™ BT
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™ BT 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 40 cm. High resolution codes,
which can reach 3 mils are also easily read. The Gryphon™ BT reader is paving the
road for innovative barcode reading.
Thanks to the batch mode (see par. 5.9.1) Gryphon™ BT continues to collect codes
even wh
en out of radio range.
