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. 1 2 GRYPHON BT SH3500 2 GRYPHON BT SH3500 POWER To begin using your Gryphon BT SH3500 reader you must charge the Gryphon BT SH3500 battery using OM-Gryphon BT SH3500 as described in par. 2.3. A full charge takes less than 4 hours with Li-Ion batteries. 2.1 POWERING THE OM-GRYPHON BT SH3500 CAUTION Connections should always be made with power off!

6 GRYPHON BT SH3500 OPERATION 3 3.2 BLUETOOTH RADIO CONNECTION 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 SH3500 can be either Master or Slave. As Master it can initiate a connection with only one Slave device. The blue LED and / or the beeper always indicate the reader radio connection status

(see also the Reader Status table, at page 62):

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. 7 3 GRYPHON BT SH3500 3.3 OM-GRYPHON BT SH3500 CABLE CONNECTIONS The OM-Gryphon BT SH3500 incorporates a multi-standard interface which can be connected to a Host by simply plugging an RS232, USB or Wedge emulation cable into the Host connector, placed on the base of the cradle. In addition the cradle must be connected to an external power supply. To connect the OM-Gryphon BT SH3500:

1. Connect the OM-Gryphon BT SH3500 to the appropriate interface cable which must be simply plugged into the Host connector on the base of the cradle. 2.

53 5 GRYPHON BT SH3500 5 REFERENCES 5.1 DATA FORMAT The output message from Gryphon BT SH3500 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.]

5.2 RADIO PARAMETERS 5.2.1 Radio Protocol Timeout This parameter sets the valid time to wait before transmission between the Gryphon BT SH3500 reader and the remote Bluetooth device is considered failed. This parameter should be set taking into consideration the radio traffic (number of readers in the same area). It can be set between 3 and 19 seconds. 5.2.2 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). When ACK/NACK is disabled, there is no control from reader to Host transmission, therefore the reader responds with the good reception tone. Host with Bluetooth device data GRYPHON BT good RX beep ACK/NACK disabled 54 REFERENCES 5 data GRYPHON BT good RX beep data NACK ACK Host with Bluetooth device ACK/NACK enabled STX Length Control Counter Output Message CRC-16 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 SH3500 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. 5.2.1. Frame Packing When Frame Packing is disabled, the Output Message from the Gryphon BT SH3500 reader is sent to the Host as is, see par. 5.1. If instead, Frame Packing is enabled, the Output Message is "packed" into a Frame with the following format:

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 SH3500 reader including optional fields as shown in par. 5.1. 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). CR 55 5 GRYPHON BT SH3500 Power-Off Timeout 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 Windlbt.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. 5.2.3 If this command is enabled, after the desired timeout in hours, the GRYPHON BT SH3500 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. 5.2.4 Batch Mode Batch mode allows codes to be stored in the gun on a FIFO basis whenever the gun is out of range. In this case radio communication is not suspended and transmission is attempted after each code read. 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, according to the selected communication protocol, upon simply pressing and releasing the trigger or by successfully reading a new code. 56 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT COMMANDS 6 6 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT COMMANDS The following commands carry out their specific function and then exit the configuration environment.

The requested radio connection by Gryphon BT SH3500 Master does not activate. The remote Bluetooth device recognizes Gryphon BT SH3500 but cannot connect to it. Solution The distance between the remote device and Gryphon BT SH3500 may be too far or there may be obstacles to radio transmission between them. Reconnect. Reduce the distance between the devices. Check that Gryphon BT SH3500 is powered (batteries are charged), that the radio protocol software version is compatible with Gryphon BT SH3500, that there is not already another BT device connected using the same SPP profile. Insert the remote device address again to Gryphon BT SH3500. Check the Gryphon BT SH3500 configuration using the Transmit configuration command via OM-Gryphon BT SH3500 cradle. Check that there are no limits set to the connection such as a password. Check compatible with Gryphon BT SH3500. the radio protocol software version that is The radio range seems reduced. Check that there are no obstacles to radio transmission between the devices. An un-connected Gryphon BT SH3500 Master accepts a radio connection from another Bluetooth Master device. A Gryphon BT SH3500 Master fails to make an automatic connection. In this case the Gryphon BT SH3500 automatically forces a disconnection and restarts. Double-click the trigger to force an immediate retry of the radio connection or read the "Request Radio Connection"
