GRYPHON™ M SERIES

USING GRYPHON™ M SERIES READERS

The Gryphon™ M series reader, paired with an OM-Gryphon™ cradle, builds a

Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of

barcoded data.

Gryphon™ M readers automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply aim

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 obtained 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 obtained by an audible tone plus a good-read green spot.

OK Not Advised

To start using your Gryphon™ M reading system you must:

1. Connect an OM-Gryphon™ cradle to the Host. For installation and

connection information see the OM-Gryphon™ Quick Reference Manual.

2. Charge the Gryphon™ M battery using an OM-Gryphon™ / C-Gryphon™

charger as described in this Quick Reference manual. A full charge takes

3.5 hours with NiMh battery models.

3. Configure the reader as described in this Quick Reference manual.

4. Configure the OM-Gryphon™ cradle. See OM-Gryphon™ Configuration in

the “OM-Gryphon™ Quick Reference”.

CHARGING THE BATTERIES

By placing the reader onto the OM-Gryphon™ cradle or C-Gryphon™ battery

charger it is possible to charge the Gryphon™ M 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

Power on /

Data

Yellow On = OM-Gryphon™ is powered.

Yellow Blinking = OM-Gryphon™ receives data and

commands from the Host or the reader.

Charging Red On = the battery charge is in progress.

Red Blinking = the battery reconditioning is in progress.

Charge

completed Green On = the battery is completely charged.

Charging +

Charge

completed

Red and Green Blinking together = the reader is not

correctly placed onto the reader.

After many recharging cycles NiMh and NiCd batteries may tend to lose their

operating autonomy. This condition can be overcome by positioning the

Gryphon™ M onto the OM-Gryphon™ / C- Gryphon™ charger and pressing the

“battery reconditioning” button.

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.

GRYPHON™ M CONFIGURATION

USING MULTIPLE READERS WITH SAME

CRADLE

If you want to use several readers associated with the same cradle, you must

first Bind the cradle with one of the readers (see previously described

configuration procedure).

Successive readers can be associated with the same cradle by following the

configuration procedure substituting the Bind command with Join.

5. Join

The green LED on the Gryphon™ M will blink: the reader is ready to be

positioned onto the cradle. Complete step 6.

CAUTION

If the cradle is not Bound to a reader, its address assumes

a random value which can cause conflicts and malfunctions

to other cradles within its range.
