Capturing Images
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
such as BMP, JPG and PNG. The default file format for images is a grayscale JPG.
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.
Taking an Image
1.
Tap Start > Demos > Image Demo.
2.
Point the terminal at the object.
3.
Press the SCAN key to activate the engine. The touch screen displays a preview of the object.
4.
Adjust the terminal’s position as necessary. Use the preview on the screen as a guide.
5.
Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key.
The touch screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen.
6.
By default, the image is saved to the My Device folder.
To save the image to another location, tap File > Save As.
High-Vis Aiming Pattern
If your terminal is configured with the 5300SR imager, you can enable the aiming pattern for imaging in
the Image Demo application.
1.
Tap Start > Demos > Imaging Demo > Options menu > Aimer.
2.
The aiming pattern is now enabled for imaging.
Uploading Images
Image files can be transmitted to a host workstation via
• Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin communication peripheral
