1 GRYPHON™ BT Quick Reference
DATALOGIC 2 UK/US USING GRYPHON™ BT SERIES READERS Gryphon™ BT series readers, together with a Bluetooth® compatible remote device, build a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. The Gryphon™ BT (Gryphon™ Bluetooth®) reader is a CCD wireless barcode scanner communicating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and using the Serial Port Profile (SPP). 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. a Bluetooth® dongle). Using this Quick Reference Manual, you can initialise and start using Gryphon™ BT reader with its default values. For details about general configuration commands, refer to the Gryphon™ BT Refence Manual on the configuration CD-ROM. Gryphon™ BT readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim the reader and pull the trigger. Code scanning is performed along the center of the light bar emitted from the reading window. This bar must cover the entire code. READING ANGLE Successful scanning is performed by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode to avoid direct reflections which impair the reading performance, see the figure below. Successful reading is signalled by an audible tone plus a good-read blue spot. OK Not Advised To start using your Gryphon™ BT reading system you must: 1. Have a compatible remote Bluetooth® device (with built-in Bluetooth® radio or an external Bluetooth® adapter) ready to work. See your Bluetooth® compatible device documentation. 2. Charge the Gryphon™ BT battery using C-GRYPHON charger as described in this Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes 4 hours with NiMh batteries. 3. Configure the reader as described in this Quick Reference manual under "Gryphon™ BT Configuration". Good read spot Good read LED
GRYPHON™ BT 3 UK/US CHARGING THE BATTERIES By placing the reader onto the C-GRYPHON battery charger it is possible to charge the Gryphon™ BT batteries. Make sure the charging LED goes on. The LEDs positioned on the cradle signal the charge status, as described in the following table: LED STATUS Yellow On = C-GRYPHON is powered. Blinking = C-GRYPHON receives commands from the Host. Red On = the battery charge is in progress. Green On = the battery is completely charged. DISCHARGE After many recharging cycles NiMh and NiCd batteries may tend to lose their operating autonomy. This condition can be overcome by positioning the Gryphon™ BT onto the C- GRYPHON charger and pressing the “battery reconditioning” button. A discharge cycle may last up to 2 hours. Power on / Data (yellow LED) Battery reconditioning button Charge completed (green LED) Charging (red LED)
DATALOGIC 4 UK/US Changing the Batteries When the above procedure is no longer effective, the batteries must be changed. To change the batteries of your reader, unscrew the battery cover screw, replace the old batteries with new ones, then insert the cover in the handle and screw it back into place. (See the following figures). CAUTION Dispose of the batteries as required by the relevant laws in force. Powering the C-GRYPHON CAUTION Connections should always be made with power off! Apply power to C-GRYPHON by connecting a power supply unit to the connector on the base of the battery charger. C-GRYPHON is ready to charge Gryphon™ BT Series readers with NiMh or NiCd batteries.

GRYPHON™ BT 5 UK/US GRYPHON™ BT OPERATION RADIO CONNECTION Gryphon™ BT as Slave A Gryphon™ BT is Slave when it sends barcodes to a Master remote Bluetooth® device such as a PC, Laptop, PDA, etc, which has initialized the communication. Once set as Slave, a Gryphon™ BT reader requires no particular configuration for communication, however some radio parameters can be set to increase system performance and data transmission security, see the Gryphon™ BT Reference Manual on the configuration CD-ROM. At startup the reader can only wait for the Master to initialize the radio communication. The following is a general procedure recommended for Gryphon™ BT Slave applications: 1. Power up the remote Bluetooth® Master device (example Laptop or PC). 2. Power up the Gryphon™ BT reader within radio range (10 meters). Any modifications to the radio configuration should be made at this time before the radio connection takes place. 3. From the remote Bluetooth® Master device, execute the Discovery procedure, (according to the procedure given in the documentation of the Bluetooth® Master device), to recognize the Gryphon™ BT reader(s) within radio range. 4. Check that "Gryphon BTx00 " is shown among the discovered devices. 5. Request to open an SPP connection with Gryphon™ BT, making sure to disable any required PIN and/or pairing parameters. Gryphon™ BT is always discoverable and connectable without any required PIN. After the Gryphon™ BT reader indicates radio connection (see the Status LED Indicator table), you can start sending barcodes. If the Master remote Bluetooth® device can support a piconet, the communication can be established with up to 7 seven Slave readers at the same time.
DATALOGIC 6 UK/US Gryphon™ BT as Master A Gryphon™ BT is Master when the remote Bluetooth® device is Slave, i.e. with a Bluetooth® barcode printer. Once set as Master, a Gryphon™ BT reader must be configured to recognize the address of the Slave device to which it wants to communicate. By default, at startup the reader initializes the communication with the Slave. If the connection is successful, the reader can send barcodes to the Slave device. If the connection is not successful, you can attempt a connection manually by double-clicking the reader trigger. Radio connections can also be managed manually as described in the Gryphon™ BT Reference Manual on the configuration CD-ROM. SLEEP STATE The µP in the reader enters a “Sleep” state after 5 minutes of no reading for minimum power consumption. DATA TRANSMISSION The transmission of data can be transparent (no ACK/NACK protocol), when each character is read and immediately sent to the Host (default value). Otherwise, data transmission can be with flow control (with ACK/NACK protocol), when, after each reading, Gryphon™ BT waits for an acknowledge that the remote Host received the data before reading and sending the following code. NOTE RTS/CTS handshaking should be set by the Bluetooth® COM driver for correct serial communication. If not used, the RTS line must be forced to the level that doesn't block such communication. STATUS LED INDICATOR Blue LED Meaning 1 blink / 2 sec. Radio connection 2 blinks / 2 sec. No radio connection 1 blink / 4 sec. Sleep state: Radio connection 2 blinks / 4 sec. Sleep state: No radio connection 1 Blink Good decoding A long sequence of short blinks Connection / re-connection attempts For more details and other meanings of the Gryphon™ BT indicators (LED, blue spot and beeper), refer to the Gryphon™ BT Reference Manual on the configuration CD-ROM.

DATALOGIC 14 UK/US TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM A beep or a LED blink signals an interruption of the radio communication with the remote Bluetooth® device. SOLUTION • It is possible that the distance from the remote Bluetooth® device is more than 10 m or that an obstacle interrupted the communication. • Restart the radio communication. PROBLEM The reader is Master and is not able to initialize radio communication with the remote Bluetooth® device server. SOLUTION • Put the reader near the remote Bluetooth® device and try to initialize the radio communication again. • Make sure that: - the remote Bluetooth® device is powered; - the protocol version is compatible with Gryphon™ BT's protocol; - the remote Bluetooth® device is not yet connected to another BT device with the same SPP. • Repeat the remote Bluetooth® device address procedure. • Display Gryphon™ BT configuration by placing the reader on the C-GRYPHON and sending the Transmit Configuration command.
GRYPHON™ BT 15 UK/US PROBLEM The remote Bluetooth® device discovers a Gryphon™ BT within its range of radio communication but is not able to communicate with it. SOLUTION • Make sure that: - the remote Bluetooth® device has not any communication protection (i.e. a password); - the protocol version is compatible with Gryphon™ BT's. PROBLEM It seems that the Gryphon™ BT radio communication range is less than 10 m. SOLUTION • Check that there are no obstacles to radio transmission between the devices.
