1 INTRODUCTION

Datalogic has moved a step ahead in the concept of “instinctive reading". The new

Gryphon™ BT SH3500 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 Gryphon™ BT SH3500 (Gryphon™ Bluetooth

) reader is a CCD wireless

barcode scanner communicating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band and using the Serial Port

Profile (SPP). Thanks to a Bluetooth

device, such as a Bluetooth

dongle, the

reader can send data to a remote Host such as a PC, PDA, printer, etc.

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 SH3500 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 SH3500 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 SH3500 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. The Gryphon™ BT SH3500 reader is

paving the road for innovative barcode reading.

The OM-Gryphon™ BT SH3500 cradle is provided in the package to build a Cordless

Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data. It

can be connected to a Host PC through a USB, RS232 or Wedge emulation cable.

The OM-Gryphon™ BT SH3500 also allows charging the Gryphon™ BT SH3500

batteries.
