DRAGON™ M131
USING DRAGON™ M131
The Dragon™ M131 series readers can be used with either an OM-30X0 cradle
or Stargate™ radio base station to build a Cordless Reading System for the
collection, decoding and transmission of barcoded data.
Dragon™ M131 laser guns automatically scan barcodes at a distance. Simply
aim and pull the trigger.
SCAN LINE POSITION
Code scanning is performed along the scan line emitted from the reading
window. This line must cross the entire code. The best reading angles are
indicated in the figure below:
READING ANGLE
Successful scanning is obtained by tilting the reader with respect to the barcode
to avoid direct reflections that impair the reading performance, see the figure
below.

DATALOGIC
AIMING SYSTEM
Dragon™ M131 provides an aiming system. If enabled, a partial trigger press
produces a red spot, which should be aimed over the code center to get the
best reading performance (see figure above, c). By completely pressing the
trigger the scan line appears to start the code scanning d.
After setting up the reader, you can enable or disable the aiming system by
reading the codes below:

DRAGON™ M131
CHARGING THE BATTERIES
Once the OM-30X0/C-3000 is powered, you can charge the reader's batteries.
Place the Dragon™ M131 into the OM-30X0 cradle or the C-3000 battery
charger. The "Reader" LED on the cradle/battery charger turns red.
The battery is completely charged when the "Reader" LED on the cradle/battery
charger turns green.
To change the batteries, unscrew the retaining screw and extract the battery
pack from the reader handle. Then, insert the new battery pack into the reader
handle and tighten the screw. (See the following figures).

WARNING
Do not incinerate, disassemble, short terminals or expose to
high temperature. Risk of fire, explosion. Use specified
charger only. Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by
an incorrect type. Dispose of the batteries as required by
the relevant laws in force.

DRAGON™ M131 CONFIGURATION
DRAGON™ M131/OM-30X0 POINT-TO-POINT SETUP
A rapid configuration procedure has been devised for point-to-point applications
where a single reader is associated exclusively with its own OM-30X0 base
station and where it is not necessary to set the Date and Time parameters.
A special pre-printed bind-address label provided in the OM-30X0 base station
package can be used to bind the Dragon™ M131 reader to the base station
with the address coded on the label. The address is also written numerically on
the label to be easily recognized. Valid addresses are in the range from 0000 to
1999. Make sure that all cradles used in the same area have different
addresses.
To rapidly configure your point-to-point application:
1. Apply the bind-address label onto the OM-30X0 base station as
indicated in the OM-30X0 Quick Reference Manual.
2. When the OM-30X0 cradle is connected and powered, read the
Bind-Address label to pair the Dragon™ M131 to the OM-30X0 cradle.
The green LED on the Dragon™ M131 will blink: the reader is ready to
be positioned onto the cradle.
3. Firmly position the reader onto the cradle within 10 seconds, a beep will
be emitted, signaling that the OM-30X0 cradle has been paired to the
Dragon™ M131, and the green LED on the reader will go off.
If it ever becomes
necessary to change the
reader, just read the
bind-address label
applied to the cradle and
position the new reader
onto the cradle.
Green LED
Do not use multiple guns
with this configuration
method.
4. Configure the OM-30X0 cradle, refer to the “OM-30X0 Quick
Reference”.
END of procedure. YOUR READER IS NOW READY TO READ CODES.

The laser scanner utilizes a low-power laser diode. Although staring directly at
the laser beam momentarily causes no known biological damage, avoid staring
at the beam as one would with any very strong light source, such as the sun.
Avoid that the laser beam hits the eye of an observer, even through reflective
surfaces such as mirrors, etc.
