Using the Scan Image Engine

Overview

The Dolphin terminal houses a compact image engine that instantly reads popular 1D and 2D bar codes and supports omni-directional aiming and decoding for greater flexibility in real-world settings. The image engine can also capture black and white digital images, such as signatures and pictures of damaged inventory.

With the latest CMOS-based technology, the engine works like a digital camera and enables black and white digital image capture, signature capture, and reading of OCR characters.

Angled Imaging

All imagers are installed at a 33 degree downward-facing angle for enhanced comfort and maneuverability while scanning.
