Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Dolphin 7200 mobile computer!

You have made a wise choice in selecting the Dolphin 7200, a device known worldwide for its ergonomic shape, light weight, versatility and single-handed data collection features.

Ergonomics

The patented shape allows true, one-handed operation and fits either hand comfortably. Built to last, the Dolphin's ruggedly built case houses a 386 microprocessor and DOS operating system that is easily programmable with standard programming tools like Microsoft Visual C/C++, Borland C/C++, or Visual Basic.

Durability

Dolphin is one of the most durable devices available, and is designed to withstand repeated five-foot drops onto a concrete floor. It also resists extreme temperatures, humidity levels and dust conditions.

Features

The Dolphin's basic features include long-lasting Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries, a large, easy-to-read 8 line x 20 character backlit display that can display text or graphics, a natural scan and viewing angle, and two keypad options.

Multiple Configurations

The multiple configurations available for the Dolphin 7200 make it one of the most versatile terminals in the automatic data collection industry. The terminal may be equipped with a scan engine capable of reading all standard bar code symbologies.

The Dolphin 7200 RS-232terminal features a micro-DB9 RS-232 for serial data input/output and charging in addition to the infrared port.

The Dolphin 7200-2Dterminal comes available with the IMAGETEAM™ 4250 Image Engine, a low power, high-resolution digital image engine for omni-directional and auto-discrimination reading and decoding of linear barcodes, stacked linear (PDF417) and 2D matrix codes. The image engine functions like a digital camera and also provides Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality.

Load up the Dolphin with your custom software application and the ultimate data collection solution for your business fits in the palm of your hand.
