Dolphin Peripherals 9500 manual LEDs, Display, Scan Key, Navigation Keys, Keyboard

LEDs

The two light emitting diodes (LEDs) located at the top of the LCD display flash and illuminate during resets and scanning/imaging. Both can be programmed by various software applications.

Scan LED - Located in the upper right corner, this LED lights red when you press the SCAN key.

Decode LED - Located in the upper left corner, this LED lights green when a scanned bar code is successfully decoded.

Display

Dolphin terminals feature a color 3.5” liquid crystal display (LCD) touch screen covered with an industrial, protective lens for greater durability. The video graphic array (VGA) resolution is 1/4 (240 X 320 pixel). The touch screen can be activated by the stylus (included with the terminal) or a finger.

The color LCD is 16 bits/pixel and uses thin film transistor (TFT) technology. The backlight for the touch screen lights when the screen is touched, but not when the Backlight key is pressed. For more information about the Backlight, see Adjusting the Backlight on page 4-13.

SCAN Key

The SCAN key is centrally located for easy access with the right or left hand. When pressed, the SCAN key activates the scanner/imager. The SCAN key also functions as an on or system wakeup control for the terminal.

Navigation Keys

The centrally-located navigation keys enable you to move and position the cursor through software programs. The up and down arrows are programmed to perform specific functions when pressed in combination with the Blue and Red modifier keys.

Keyboard

The Dolphin terminal features three keyboard options: 35-key numeric/alpha keyboard, 43-key numeric/alpha keyboard, and 56-key full alpha/numeric keyboard. For a complete overview of each keyboard, see Using the Keyboards on page 4-7.

Each keyboard is backlit for easy viewing in various lighting conditions and contains centrally located keys for both right- and left-hand operation. The silver background of both the keys and the overlay enhances the readability of each. The overlay of all three keyboards are color-coded to indicate the functions performed or characters typed when the color-coded key is pressed immediately after the Red or Blue Modifier key at the bottom of the keyboard.
