Decoding The terminal supports two types of image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging applications: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD). Full-Area Imaging Full-area imaging provides omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR, signature capture, and picture taking. When reading all bar code types using full-area imaging, a positive read can be obtained from many positions; see Aiming Options on page 4-5.
Aiming Options The aiming beams are smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit. N5603 Red High-Vis Aiming Pattern If your Dolphin terminal is configured with a 5603 imager, high-vis aimers frame the bar code for more intuitive aiming. See Laser Safety on page 1-1.
Capturing Images The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt it to different application environments. Image Preview When the imaging process is initiated, the touch screen displays a preview of the object. This is a live video image of what the imager is currently viewing.
4. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red. 5. Adjust the terminal’s position until the object appears on the screen the way you want it to appear in the image. 6. Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key, trigger or side button. The scan and decode LEDs flash red, the screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen. 7. Unless otherwise specified by the application in use, the image is saved to the \My Device\My Documents folder.
