EULA NOTES X GRYPHON™ I GBT/GM4200
GRYPHON™ GBT/GM4200 DESCRIPTION The Gryphon™ product series from Datalogic has been perceived as one of the most innovative readers since the beginning and the new generation of 4200 and 4500 series wireless readers reinforce this concept thanks to the battery wireless charging system that, coupled with an outstanding design, unchallenged ergonomics and a rich feature set, bring the Datalogic Gryphon GBT/GM 4200 and 4500 series to the TOP of hand held scanners for general purpose applications.
Setting Up the Reader SETTING UP THE READER Follow the steps below to connect and get your reader up and communicating with its host. 1. Configure the Base Station starting on this page. 2. Charge the Batteries (see page 42). 3. Link to the Base Station (see page 13). 4. Select the Interface Type (see page 15). 5.
Setting Up the Reader Positioning the Base Station The base station/charger may be set up in desk application to hold the reader in two different positions, either a horizontal or vertical position, in order to provide the most comfortable use depending on the needs. Figure 1 - Horizontal Position This position is preferred, unless a different specific positioning is required, for its outmost ease of insertion as well as the minimum effort and attention required to customer when docking the scanner.
Reader, Cradle and LEDs Description READER, CRADLE AND LEDS DESCRIPTION LEDs on the gun provide information about the battery charging status as well as data transmission.
