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 when out of radio range.
This manual can be used for complete setup and configuration of your reader (see chapters 3 and 4).

2 GRYPHON™ BT POWER
To begin using your Gryphon™ BT reader you must charge the Gryphon™ BT battery using OM-Gryphon™ BT as described in par. 2.3. A full charge takes less than 5 hours with NiMh batteries.
2.1 POWERING THE OM-GRYPHON™ BT

Connections should always be made with power off!
Apply power to OM-Gryphon™ BT by connecting a power supply unit to the connector on the base of the cradle.

OM-Gryphon™ BT Power Supply Connector
2.2 BATTERY TYPE
Gryphon™ BT is designed to be used with NiMh batteries.
2.3 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

When the reader is correctly placed onto the cradle, the red LED on the cradle goes on to indicate that the battery is charging. The green LED on the cradle goes on when the battery is completely charged.
The LEDs positioned on the cradle signal the charge status, as described in the following table:
| LED | STATUS | |
![]() | Power on / Data | Yellow On = OM-GryphonTM is powered. |
![]() | Charging | Red On = the battery charge is in progress.Red Blinking = the battery reconditioning is in progress. |
![]() | Charging completed | Green On = the battery is completely charged. |
![]() | Charging + Charging completed | Red and Green Blinking together = The reader is not correctly placed onto the cradle. |
![]() |
Gun Locator/ Battery Reconditioning Button
This button has two different functions.
When the Gryphon™ BT reader is not placed on the OM-Gryphon™ BT cradle, this button activates the gun locator function similar to that of a cordless telephone. By pressing the button the Gryphon™ BT reader will emit an audible tone which allows it to be located. This function works only when the reader has an active radio connection and is within the 10 m radio operating range.
When the Gryphon™ BT reader is placed on the OM-Gryphon™ BT cradle, this button activates the battery reconditioning function which restores the operating autonomy. that can be lost after many recharging cycles of NiMh batteries. It does this by starting a deep discharge cycle. The battery is automatically recharged after the discharge cycle is completed. This process may require several hours.
2.4 REPLACING GRYPHON™ BT BATTERIES
To change the batteries in your GRYPHON™ BT scanner, proceed as follows:
- Unscrew the battery cover screw.

- Open the battery cover.

- Replace the old battery pack with new one, then screw the battery cover back into place.

NiMh Batteries

Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries as required by the relevant laws in force.

3.3 SETTING UP GRYPHON™ BT WITH BLUETOOTH ® DEVICE
During typical operation a physical radio channel is shared by a group of devices that are synchronized to a common clock and frequency hopping pattern. One device provides the synchronization reference and is known as the Master. All other devices are known as Slaves. A group of devices synchronized in this fashion form a piconet.
Most Bluetooth ® devices can be both Master or Slave. The Master will be the first unit to initiate the connection (page procedure).
Some devices can only be Slaves (i.e. printers). They can only wait for a Bluetooth ® Master device to initiate a connection with them.
Gryphon™ BT can be either Master or Slave. As Master it can initiate a connection with only one Slave device.

NOTE
Gryphon™ BT uses the Serial Port Profile (SPP) for communication, creating an RS232 cable replacement. It is also possible to emulate a Wedge connection by means of the Wedge Emulation Utility provided on the CD-ROM. When using the Wedge Emulation Utility, it is advised to correctly set the terminators depending on the expected format for the program in which the data will be collected.
Follow one of the following two procedures to set up Gryphon™ BT as Slave or as Master according to your application.
The blue LED and / or the beeper always indicate the reader radio connection status (see also the Reader Status table, at page 163):
- the radio connection is signaled by the blue LED through a single blink at regular intervals, while if the reader radio is disconnected the LED emits two short blinks at regular intervals;
- during the initialization procedure, if the radio connection attempt is successful, the reader emits four ascending tones;
- the radio disconnection is signaled by four descending tones.
3.3.1 Setup for Gryphon™ BT as Slave
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. 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:
- Power up the remote Bluetooth ® Master device (example Laptop or PC).
- 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. - 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.
- Check that "Gryphon BTx00 " is shown among the discovered devices.
- 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.

NOTE
If the PIN of the Bluetooth ® Master device cannot be disabled, use the PIN "1234". The Gryphon ™ BT Slave will emit four ascending tones indicating radio connection.
After the Gryphon™ BT reader(s) indicate radio connection (see also the Reader Status Table, at page 163), you can start sending barcodes.
The following figure shows an example Gryphon™ BT Slave application.

Figure 1 - Gryphon™ BT Slave Application
If the Master Bluetooth ® device can support a piconet, the communication can be established with up to 7 seven Slave readers at the same time.
To configure the Gryphon™ BT as Slave follow the given procedure.
1.
Restore Gryphon™ BT Default

2.
Set Gryphon™ BT as Slave

YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO BE DISCOVERED (CONNECTED VIA RADIO) BY A BLUETOOTH ® MASTER DEVICE AND READ BARCODES.
3.3.2 Setup for Gryphon™ BT as Master
Once set as Master, a Gryphon™ BT reader must be configured with 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. Radio connections can also be managed manually by disabling the automatic connection parameters (described in pars. 5.8.3, 5.8.4) and reading the connection barcodes in par. 6.1.
During the request of radio connection or disconnection with a remote Bluetooth ® Slave device, the reader emits a series of ticks and short blinks of the blue LED.
The following figure shows an example Gryphon™ BT Master application.

Figure 2 - Gryphon™ BT Master Application
To configure the Gryphon™ BT as Master follow the given procedure.
Note: for the hexadecimal character selection of step 4, use the Hex/Numeric table in appendix C.

1) Read the Enter Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page of configuration.
2) Modify the desired parameters in one or more sections following the procedures given for each group. If arguments are required with a command, you can read additional barcode labels (typically digits) from Appendix C.
3) Read the Exit and Save Configuration code ONCE, available at the top of each page of configuration.
Reference notes describing the operation of the more complex parameters are given in chapter 5.
4.1.2 Sending Configuration Strings from Host
An alternative configuration method is provided in Appendix A using the OM-Gryphon™ BT or 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.

4.3 CHANGING DEFAULT SETTINGS
Once your reader is setup, you can change the default parameters to meet your application needs. Refer to the preceding chapter for initial configuration in order to set the default values and select the interface for your application.
In this manual, the configuration parameters are divided into logical groups making it easy to find the desired function based on its reference group.
The first four groups are for Standard Interface parameter configuration when using the OM-Gryphon™ BT cradle:
- USB
- RS232
- WEDGE
- PEN EMULATION
The following parameter groups are common to all applications:
DATA FORMAT parameters regard the messages sent to the Host system for all interfaces except Pen Emulation.
POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading device.
READING PARAMETERS control various operating modes and indicator status functioning.
DECODING PARAMETERS maintain correct barcode decoding in certain special reading conditions.
CODE SELECTION parameters allow configuration of a personalized mix of codes, code families and their options.
ADVANCED FORMATTING PARAMETERS allow code concatenation and advanced formatting of messages towards the Host. It cannot be used with Pen Emulation.
RADIO PARAMETERS allow configuration of radio control parameters.

DATA FORMAT
- AIM standard identifiers are not defined for all codes: the X identifier is assigned to the code for which the standard is not defined. The y value depends on the selected options (check digit tested or not, check digit tx or not, etc.).
- When customizing the Datalogic Standard code identifiers, 1 or 2 identifier characters can be defined for each code type. If only 1 identifier character is required, the second character must be selected as FF (disabled).
- The code identifier can be singly disabled for any code by simply selecting FF as the first identifier character.
- Write in the Custom character identifiers in the table above for your records.
CODE IDENTIFIER

① Read the above code.
(Code Identifiers default to Datalogic standard, see table on previous page).
② Select the code type from the code table in Appendix B for the identifier you want to change.
③ You can define 1 or 2 identifier characters for each code type. If only 1 identifier character is required, the second character must be selected as FF (disabled). Read the hexadecimal value corresponding to the character(s) you want to define as identifiers for the code selected in step ②: valid characters are in the range 00-FD.
Example: To define Code 39 Code Identifier = @

HEADER

six character header

seven character header

eight character header

After selecting one of the desired Header codes, read the character(s) from the HEX table. Valid characters are in the range 00-FE.
Example:
four character header

+ 41 + 42 + 43 + 44 = Header ABCD
For more details see par. 5.3.1.
TERMINATOR
no terminator

one character terminator

two character terminator

three character terminator

seven character terminator

eight character terminator

After selecting one of the desired Header codes, read the character(s) from the HEX table. Valid characters are in the range 00-FE.
Example:
two character terminator

+ 0D + 0A = Terminator CR LF
For more details see par. 5.3.1.
FIELD ADJUSTMENT
◆ disable field adjustment

Field adjustment allows a number of characters n, to be added to or subtracted from the barcode read. The adjustment can be different for each enabled code type. To define the field adjustment:
① Read the enable field adjustment code:
enable field adjustment

② Select the code type from the Code Identifier Table in Appendix B.
③ Select the type of adjustment to perform:
right addition

left addition

right deletion

left deletion

④ Read a number in the range 01 - 32 from the Hex/Numeric Table to define how many characters to add or delete:
Conditions:
- Adjustment is only performed on the barcode data, the Code Identifier and Code Length Transmission fields are not modified by the field adjustment parameter.
- If the field setting would subtract more characters than exist in the barcode, the subtraction will take place only to code length 0.
- You can set up to a maximum of 10 different field adjustments on the same barcode family or on different barcode families.
Example: To add 4 characters to the right of Standard Code 39 Codes:

FIELD ADJUSTMENT CHARACTER
① Read the field adjustment character code:
field adjustment character

② Read the hexadecimal value corresponding to the character you want to use for field adjustment. Valid characters are in the range 00-FE.
Example:
To define the field adjustment character = A:

CODE LENGTH TX
◆ code length not transmitted

code length transmitted in variable-digit format

code length transmitted in fixed 4-digit format

The code length is transmitted in the message after the Headers and Code Identifier characters. The code length is calculated after performing any field adjustment operations.
CHARACTER REPLACEMENT
◆ disable character replacement

This parameter allows up to three characters to be replaced from the barcode read. These substitutions are stored in memory. To define each character replacement:
① Read one of the following character replacement codes:
first
character replacement

second character replacement

third
character

② From the Code Identifier Table in Appendix B, read the Code Identifier for the desired code family.
0 = character replacement will be effective for all code families.
③ From the Hex/Numeric Table read two characters corresponding to the Hex value (00-FE) which identifies the character to be replaced.
④ From the Hex/Numeric Table read two characters corresponding to the Hex value (00-FE) which identifies the new character.
FF = the character to be replaced will be substituted with no character, that is, it will be removed from the code.
Example:
The following strings define:
- First Character Replacement: substitution in Code 39 barcodes of all occurrences of the 0 character with the 1 character.
- Second Character Replacement: substitution in Code 39 barcodes of all occurrences of the A character with the B character.
first character replacement
Code 39
ASCII characters corresponding to the HEX value for character 0

5.1 USB-COM AND RS232 PARAMETERS
5.1.1 Handshaking
Hardware handshaking: (RTS/CTS)
The RTS line is activated by the cradle before transmitting a character. Transmission is possible only if the CTS line (controlled by the Host) is active.

Software handshaking: (XON/XOFF)
During transmission, if the Host sends the XOFF character (13 Hex), the cradle interrupts the transmission with a maximum delay of one character and only resumes when the XON character (11 Hex) is received.

XON/XOFF handshaking
5.1.2 ACK/NACK Protocol
The transmission protocol takes place between reader, cradle and Host. The reader passes its data (code read) to the cradle which sends it to the Host.
In the following descriptions the completed transmission is indicated by the Beeper Control for Radio Response parameter with its default setting to "Good Decode and Good Reception" beep, see par. 5.7.4.
When ACK/NACK is disabled, there is no control from cradle to Host transmission, the reader responds only with the good read tone.

ACK/NACK enabled
When ACK/NACK is enabled, the Host sends an ACK character (06 HEX) in the case of good reception or the NACK character (15 HEX) requesting re-transmission, in the case of bad reception. Only after the ACK character is received by the OM-GRYPHON™ BT does the reader respond with the good reception tone.
If the reader does not receive an ACK or NACK, transmission is ended after the RX Timeout (see par. 5.1.3). See also Radio Protocol Timeout, par. 5.7.1.
5.1.3 RX Timeout
For OM-Gryphon™ BT, when the USB COM or RS232 interfaces are selected, or for C-Gryphon™, (fixed RS232 interface), the Host can be used to configure the devices by sending command strings (see appendix A).
This parameter can be used to automatically end data reception from the Host after the specified period of time.
If no character is received from the Host, after the timeout expires, any incomplete string (any string not terminated by
5.2 PEN PARAMETERS
5.2.1 Minimum Output Pulse
This parameter sets the duration of the output pulse corresponding to the narrowest element in the barcode. In this way the code resolution is controlled by the signal sent to the decoder, independently of the physical resolution of the code read.
The shortest pulse (200 µ s) corresponds to high-resolution code emulation and therefore a shorter transfer speed to the decoder (for decoders able to work on high-resolution codes). Likewise, longer pulses correspond to low-resolution code emulation and therefore a longer transfer time to the decoder.
5.2.2 Conversion to Code 39
For the Pen Emulation interface it is possible to convert all codes to Code 39. By disabling this option the decoded codes will be transmitted in their original format; except for the following codes which are ALWAYS converted into Code 39 format: MSI, Plessey, Telepen, Delta IBM, Code 11, Code 16K, Code 49 and RSS Codes.
5.2.3 Overflow
This parameter generates a white space before the first bar and after the last bar of the code. The selections are as follows:
narrow = space 10 times the minimum output pulse.
medium = space 20 times the minimum output pulse.
wide = space 30 times the minimum output pulse.
5.2.4 Output and Idle Levels
The following state diagrams describe the different output and idle level combinations for Pen Emulation:

Output and Idle Levels
5.2.5 Inter-Block Delay
For the Pen Emulation interface, data are sent to the Host in fixed size blocks of 20 characters each. The inter-block delay parameter allows setting a delay between each block sent to the Host.
5.3 DATA FORMAT
The output message from Gryphon™ BT towards the Host uses the following format:
[Bluetooth® Reader Addr] [Reader Addr Delimiter] [Header] [Code ID] [Code Length] CODE [Terminator]
[Items in square brackets are optional.]
5.3.1 Header/Terminator Selection
The header/terminator selection is not effected by the reading of the restore default code. In fact, header and terminator default values depend on the interface selection:
RS232 and USB-COM: no header, terminator CR-LF
WEDGE and USB-KBD: no header, terminator ENTER
WEDGE ALT-MODE and USB-KBD-ALT-MODE: no header, terminator CR
These default values are always restored through the reading of the relative interface selection code, see sub-paragraphs under 3.2.
For the USB KBD and WEDGE interfaces, the extended keyboard values in appendix C can also be configured.
For the Wedge Interfaces indicated in the table below, only the extended keyboard values shown in the table can be configured:

It is possible to include the reader's Bluetooth® address in the message sent to the host. This address is a 12-character hexadecimal string that is unique to every Bluetooth® device. For message output format, refer to par. 5.3.
5.3.3 Address Delimiter
The Address Delimiter allows a character to be included to separate the reader's Bluetooth® address stamping field from the next field in the message. Any character can be included in the hexadecimal range from 00 to FE. For message output format, refer to par. 5.3.
5.4 READING PARAMETERS
5.4.1 Hand-Held and Stand Operation
Hand-Held Operation refers to using the reader by positioning it in your hand, aiming it at codes to be read and usually pressing the trigger to read them.
Stand Operation allows the reader to be positioned in the stand where it can automatically read codes placed under its reading zone.
These parameter groups allow setting different reading modes for Hand-Held Operation and Stand Operation:
- SoftwareTrigger: the reader is set in FLASH MODE. Code reading takes place during the flash on time;
- Hardware Trigger: the code reading is started with a trigger press (ON);
- Hardware Trigger Ready: the illuminator is switched ON when the reader sees a code. It functions as a pointer aiming at the code to be read. The reading phase starts only when the trigger is pressed. In this mode the reader is automatically set to trigger active level and one read per cycle parameters. (Only for Hand-Held Operation).
- Automatic: the illuminator is switched ON when the reader sees a code. The reading phase starts automatically.
Selections other than Hardware Trigger constantly consume battery power.
5.4.2 Hardware Trigger Signal
This parameter determines how the reader ON state is controlled for readers with button/trigger when Hardware Trigger is selected:
- Trigger Level: the reader goes ON when the trigger is pressed and goes OFF when it is released
- Trigger Pulse: the reader goes ON at the first trigger press and goes OFF only at a second press
5.4.3 Trigger-Off Timeout
When this timeout is selected, the reader turns OFF automatically after the desired period of time.
5.4.4 Reads per Cycle
In general, a reading cycle corresponds to the ON + OFF times of a device. The resulting effects of this parameter on code reading depend on other related configuration conditions. Here are the definitions of ON and OFF times.
- For readers using the software trigger parameter (FLASH MODE), a reading cycle corresponds to the flash on + flash off times. Code reading takes place during the flash on time.
- For readers using the hardware trigger parameter, a reading cycle corresponds to a trigger press (ON) + one of the following OFF events:
trigger release (for trigger active level)
a second trigger press (for trigger active pulse)
trigger-off timeout (see par. 5.4.3).
When one read per cycle is selected, the device decodes only one code during the ON period and immediately turns the reader OFF. It is only possible to read another code when the next ON time occurs.
In multiple reads per cycle, the ON period is extended so that the device can continue decoding codes until an OFF event occurs. For software trigger mode, the flash on period is immediately reset after each read and therefore extended. If another code is decoded before the reset flash on period expires, it is again reset and the effect is that the device remains ON, decoding codes until the flash on or timeout period expires.
The Safety Time parameter should be used in this case to avoid unwanted multiple reading of the same code, see par. 5.4.5.
5.4.5 Safety Time
Safety time prevents the device from immediately decoding the same code more than once. Same code consecutive reading can be disabled requiring the reader to be removed from the code (no decoding) for at least 400 ms, or a timeout can be set up to 9.9 seconds before the decoder will accept the same code. Reading is immediate if the code changes.
For Automatic Hand-Held or Stand Operation, the Safety Time parameter is forced to no code consecutive reading (00).
The safety time parameter is not applicable when reading stacked codes or when setting one read per cycle in hardware trigger operating mode, since these settings require voluntary action by the user.
5.5 DECODING PARAMETERS

These parameters are intended to enhance the decoding capability of the reader for particular applications. Used incorrectly, they can degrade the reading performance or increase the possibility of a decoding error.
5.5.1 Ink-Spread
The ink-spread parameter allows the decoding of codes which are not perfectly printed because the page texture tends to absorb the ink.
5.5.2 Overflow Control
The overflow control parameter can be disabled when decoding codes printed on small surfaces, which don't allow the use of an overflow space.
This command does not effect code families 2/5, Code 128 and Code 93.
5.5.3 Interdigit Control
The interdigit control parameter verifies the interdigit spacing for code families Code 39 and Codabar.
5.6 ADVANCED FORMATTING
5.6.1 Zebra Printer Formatting
Some Zebra Bluetooth ® Printers (example: Cameo 3 BT or similar type) allow format files (pre-loaded in its memory) to be selected for printing labels with different formatting. These files can be preloaded onto the Zebra printer using the "Label Vista ™ " program.
Gryphon™ BT as Master provides the possibility to define a number of formatting parameters and their relative values (type), which can be passed to the printer format files globally, (one setting is valid for all 16 possible pre-defined printer format files). You can set between 0 and 4 parameters, which can be of two types, barcode data or code ID.
Setting 0 parameters means printing a label with no barcode or code ID information. Setting between 1 and 4 parameters allows printing barcode labels with barcode and/or code ID information. The number of barcode/code ID values selected must match the number of printer parameters selected.
The Gryphon™ BT default setting is:
“! UF DLFMT00.FMT[CR][LF]barcoderead[CR][LF]barcoderead[CR][LF]”
where Gryphon™ BT sends two parameters (both barcode data) to file 00. The assumption is that one barcode is used to print the actual barcode and the other is used to print the human readable numbers of the barcode all on the same label.
Not all barcode symbologies read by Gryphon™ BT are managed by the printer, see your printer documentation for a list of printable barcode symbologies.
Note: "barcoderead" can also be a barcode formatted with headers and terminators.
5.6.2 Zebra Printer Format File Selection
Select the number of the Zebra printer format file which is pre-loaded in the printer memory and contains the graphic and parameter value information for printing a label. These files must be programmed correctly to accept the data passed to them from the Gryphon™ BT reader.
5.7 COMMON RADIO PARAMETERS
5.7.1 Radio Protocol Timeout
This parameter sets the valid time to wait before transmission between the Gryphon™ BT reader and the OM-Gryphon™ BT or remote Bluetooth® device is considered failed.
This parameter should be set taking into consideration the radio traffic or cradle transmission speed. It can be set between 3 and 19 seconds.
5.7.2 Transmission Retry
This parameter allows setting a period of time in which transmission of the previously read barcode will automatically be retried. If not disabled (00), this value must be at least equal to double the Radio Protocol Timeout value (see par. 5.7.1).
Each time transmission is retried, the reader emits a beep tone lower than the "Good Decode" beep tone.
Transmission retry is always valid for communication with OM-Gryphon™ BT. It is valid for communication with BT devices only if ACK/NACK Protocol is enabled (see par. 5.8.1).
5.7.3 Power-Off Timeout
If this command is enabled, after the desired timeout in hours, the Gryphon™ BT batteries are disconnected and all power consumption ceases. To restore power, press the trigger once. The reader will now be ready to read codes.
Power-off does not effect configuration parameters.
5.7.4 Beeper Control for Radio Response
The data entry good read tone normally results in two beeps; the first indicates that the reader has decoded the code, the second indicates whether the remote Bluetooth ® device has received the data.
This can be changed according to the following selections:
Good Decode and Good Reception: both good decode and good reception are signaled (two beeps).
♦ Only Good Decode: only the first beep indicating a good read is signaled.
- Only Good Reception: only the second beep indicating a good reception is signaled.
Off: Neither good read nor good reception beeps are signaled.
For all configurations, any transmission errors will always be signaled.
5.8 RADIO PARAMETERS FOR BT DEVICE CONFIGURATIONS
5.8.1 ACK/NACK Protocol and Frame Packing
ACK/NACK Protocol
The transmission protocol takes place between the reader and the Host. The reader passes its data (code read) to the remote Bluetooth ® device (Host).
In the following descriptions the completed transmission is indicated by the Beeper Control for Radio Response parameter with its default setting to "Good Decode and Good Reception" beep, see par. 5.7.4.
When ACK/NACK is disabled, there is no control from reader to Host transmission, therefore the reader responds only with the good read tone.
![graph LR A["GRYPHON™ BT"] -->|data| B["Host with Bluetooth® device"] B -->|only good read beep| A](/content/2026/07/1509843/images/e7ead03143ed5fa586f0d5432041615e875b713ce563fcdab0515cafbf08b300.jpg)
ACK/NACK disabled
![graph LR A["GRYPHON™ BT"] -->|good read + good RX beep| B["data"] B --> C["NACK"] C --> D["Host with Bluetooth® device"] D -->|data| B B -->|data| C C -->|ACK| D](/content/2026/07/1509843/images/88a6065a21ede5ee35ca51dba61062ef75d1099f79853fc052330321db674f24.jpg)
ACK/NACK enabled
When ACK/NACK is enabled, the Host sends an ACK character (06 HEX) in the case of good reception or the NACK character (15 HEX) requesting re-transmission, in the case of bad reception. Only after the ACK character is received by Gryphon™ BT does the reader respond with the good reception tone.
If the reader does not receive an ACK or NACK, transmission is ended after the Radio Protocol Timeout, par. 5.7.1, or retried if transmission retry is enabled, par. 5.7.2.
Frame Packing
When Frame Packing is disabled, the Output Message from the Gryphon™ BT reader is sent to the Host as is, see par. 5.3.
If instead, Frame Packing is enabled, the Output Message is "packed" into a Frame with the following format:
STX Length Control Counter Output Message CRC-16 CR
where:
STX = Frame Start character (02 Hex).
Length = 2 bytes; indicates frame length of the remaining fields (including CR).
Control = 1 byte; indicates message fragmentation. For further details see the DL Security Protocol documentation on the CD-ROM.
Counter = a loop counter for the Output Message characters (bytes) that cycles from 0 to 255 and then restarts.
Output Message = complete text message from the Gryphon™ BT reader including optional fields as shown in par. 5.3. The maximum length of this field is 304 bytes.
CRC-16) = 2 bytes; 16-bit Cyclic Redundancy Check based on the hex 1021 polynomial and performed on all bytes from Length up to the CRC itself. The MSB is sent first. For further details see the DL Security Protocol documentation on the CD-ROM.
CR = Frame Stop character (0D Hex).
To simplify the management of this frame packing, and to avoid having to develop a special proprietary software program, included on the CD-ROM are: the DL Security Protocol example program, (written in Visual Basic), the WindIbt.dll, and the source code of the example. The example program allows extraction of the data from the frame, verification of the CRC, discarding any duplicate data (with the same counter value), and automatic management of Frame Packing and ACK/NACK protocol in response to each frame.
5.8.2 User Friendly Name
This parameter provides a way to identify the Gryphon™ BT reader in a human readable (user-friendly), format. This name is returned with the reader configuration parameters (see par. 6.2). The name is made up of a fixed 20-character field. If you choose to use a name that is less than 20 characters, you must fill in the blanks with a valid character (i.e. space character). Valid characters are in the range 00 - 7E and must be entered in hex format.
5.8.3 Auto-Connection (Master only)
Upon power-up, the Gryphon TM BT reader makes attempts to connect with the remote Bluetooth device (Slave). If the connection is not successful, the reader remains on, but not connected.
In this case reconnection can be requested by double clicking the reader trigger or by reading the "Request Radio Connection" command in par. 6.1.
5.8.4 Auto-Reconnection (Master only)
If a radio connection is interrupted, the Gryphon TM BT reader makes attempts to reconnect with the remote Bluetooth device (Slave). If the connection is not successful, the reader remains on, but not connected.
In this case reconnection can be requested by double clicking the reader trigger or by reading the "Request Radio Connection" command in par. 6.1.
5.9 RADIO PARAMETERS FOR OM-GRYPHON™ BT CONFIGURATIONS
5.9.1 Batch Mode
Batch mode allows codes to be stored in the gun on a FIFO basis whenever the gun is out of range. If transmission cannot be successfully completed, then the code is added to the list. When the gun returns in range, transmission of the codes to the cradle resumes automatically by successfully reading a new code.

6.4 CRADLE CHARGING MANAGEMENT
Battery selection is required only when the Gryphon™ BT reader has an Alkaline battery and you want to use the OM-Gryphon™ BT or C-Gryphon either for serial configuration, software upgrades or to hold Gryphon™ BT. Since this type of battery must not be charged it is necessary to disable the cradle charge function by following the procedure:
- With the Gryphon™ BT read the following code:

The blue LED on the Gryphon™ BT will blink, signaling the reader has accepted the command.
- Place the reader onto the charger within 4 seconds. The blue LED turns off and a short beep is emitted
To enable the charge function repeat step 1 and 2 substituting the "Alkaline" code with the following one:


Attempts to charge Alkaline batteries could cause leakage of liquid, generation of heat or, in extreme cases, explosion. If using Alkaline batteries, carefully follow the procedure above to avoid damage.
7 TROUBLESHOOTING
| Problem | Solution |

A HOST CONFIGURATION STRINGS
In this section we provide a description of how to modify the Gryphon™ BT and OM-Gryphon™ BT configuration using serial strings sent from the Host.
The configuration must be performed in different ways according to the device to be configured:
- OM-Gryphon™ BT
the configuration strings are sent from the Host directly to the device through the RS232/USB COM interface;
• Gryphon™ BT connected with OM-Gryphon™ BT or C-Gryphon
the configuration of the reader when placed onto a cradle is sent from the Host through the RS232/USB COM interface (RS232 only for C-Gryphon).
When this method is used, the programming sequence format is the following:
![graph TD A["Command"] --> B["Character sequence in following tables"] B --> C["Enter configuration environment"] D["CR-+"] --> E["Carriage return character (0D Hex.)"] E --> F["Exit and Save configuration"]](/content/2026/07/1509843/images/f3efa0e8c6f02daa2e48b9bf70e75309bef659c84adc1721ff476ccadf23d3dd.jpg)
Example:
Multiple command programming sequence:
![graph TD A["$+"] --> B["BG1"] B --> C["AC410132BH0$-"] C --> D["CR"] D --> E["Carriage return character (0D Hex.)"] D --> F["Exit and save new configuration"] D --> G["Matrix 2/5 3 bars: no check digit, variable length code from 1 to 32 characters"] G --> H["Beeper tone 1"] G --> I["Beeper low inten…](/content/2026/07/1509843/images/a5fda8f90d5337f2352f353f1f2bd97685c60a831b51b08997f115ac53958b3a.jpg)
Each configuration parameter setting removes the condition previously active for that parameter.

NOTE
The device buffer can contain about 400 characters. If your programming string goes over this value, you must split it into separate groups and send each group after a delay of at least 3 seconds to give the reader time to empty the buffer and interpret the commands.
