Capturing Images Using the Imaging Demo

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. The live video image has a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal.

Scan Key

On all Dolphin 60s terminals, the Scan button captures images.

File Formats

File formats supported for image storage include Bitmap (BMP), JPEG (JPG) and Portable Network Graphics (PNG). The default file format for images is a gray scale JPG.

Compression

Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and may have up to a 256 (8 bit) gray scale image definition.

The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application used to take images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image depends on the content of the image - the more complex the content, the larger the file size.

Taking an Image

The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images:
