PDF417 Test Message

Omni-Directional Scanning Positions

The high-vis aiming pattern frames the bar code to provide you with the best scanning performance.

Note: To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.

The aiming pattern is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when the terminal is held farther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.

Capturing Images (5300 Engine Only)

The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following basic guidelines, however, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt 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 and has a slightly degraded appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal; the captured image has a higher resolution.

File Formats

The Dolphin terminal is capable of saving images in a number of industry-standard file formats (BMP, JPG and PNG). The default file format for images is a grayscale BMP.

File Size

Digital images have a maximum image size of 640 x 480 pixels and may have up to a 256 grayscale image definition. The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application used to take the image. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K. However, the size of the image depends on image content; the more complex the content, the larger the file size.
