The laser engine converts reflected light into a digital pattern that represents the bar
code data. A clear window covers the laser engine to protect it from dust and dirt.
Image Engine
The Dolphin 7200 2D terminal is available with the following imaging options:
• Standard image engine: scans 2 to 9 in. (5 to 23cm)
• High-Density: scans 2 to 4 in. (5 to 12cm)
Lanyard Eyelet for Optional Wrist Strap
This feature allows a strap to be attached to the Dolphin terminal so that it can be
conveniently secured around the wrist or hooked on to a belt. Not available on the
Dolphin 7200 RF, Dolphin 7200 with Image-Capture or the Dolphin 7200 2D
terminals.
Battery Well
The Battery Well is a recessed area on the back of the
Dolphin that holds the 3.6V battery pack.
Reset Switch
The Reset Switch is located inside the Dolphin terminal and is accessible through a
small opening within the battery well. To reset the Dolphin, remove the label covering
the opening and press the reset switch with a small blunt object such as a paper clip.
Infrared Communications Port
The Infrared Communications Port allows the Dolphin to communicate through the
Dolphin HomeBase to a host serial device.
Battery Charging Contacts
When the Dolphin is placed in the main well of the Dolphin HomeBase, the
Dolphin’s battery pack is charged through these contacts.
NOTE
Under normal
circumstances, you
should never need to
reset your Dolphin
terminal.
