GRYPHON™ Dx30/Mx30 
4.7  USB READER CONFIGURATION 
 
The USB interface is compatible with: 
 
Windows 98 (and later) 
IBM POS for Windows 
Mac OS 8.0 (and later) 
4690 Operating System 
 
 
USB Start-up 
 
As with all USB devices, upon connection, the Host performs several checks by 
communicating with the Gryphon™ Dx30. During this phase the green LED on the 
Gryphon™ Dx30 reader blinks and normal operations are suspended. Two basic 
conditions must be met before the Gryphon™ Dx30 is ready to read codes, the 
correct USB driver must be loaded and sufficient power must be supplied to the 
reader. 
 
For all systems, the correct USB driver for the default 
USB-KBD interface is included in the Host Operating 
System and will either be loaded automatically or will 
be suggested by the O.S. and should therefore be 
selected from the dialog box (the first time only).

Green LED off - BEEP OK 
First Start-Up 
 
Normally the Host supplies sufficient power to the 
reader, the start-up phase ends correctly, the green 
LED stops blinking and the reader emits the beep OK 
signal. 
 
In rare cases, if the Host does not supply sufficient 
power to the reader, a dialog box will appear on the 
Host and the reader will be blocked (green LED 
continues blinking). In this case, disconnect the USB 
device cable at the Host (green LED stops blinking); 
and then try a different USB port as indicated by the 
Operating System message. The reader emits the 
beep OK signal. You can now read codes. 
 
At this point you can read the USB interface configuration code according to your 
application. Load drivers from the O.S. (if requested). When configuring the USB-
COM interface, the relevant files and drivers must be installed from the USB Device 
Installation software which can be downloaded from the web page 
http://www.datalogic.com. 
 
The reader is ready to read barcodes. Successive start-ups will automatically 
recognize the previously loaded drivers.
