Datalogic Extends Connectivity of Gryphon Base Station and Charger

The Gryphon series of hand held readers combine outstanding reading performance at an instinctive reading distance. Now the series has further expanded its connectivity capabilities thanks to the introduction of the USB interface in the Gryphon base station and charger for the Gryphon Mobile reader.

The Gryphon Mobile readers are suitable for data capture activities in retail and office applications, as well as small warehousing environments.

With this new feature, the Gryphon Mobile offers four different interfaces in a single model by simply replacing the cable and selecting the right parameter configuration: RS232, Wedge emulation, Wand emulation and USB. Now with the USB interface on the Gryphon base station and charger the product has a new competitive advantage.
