Supported Bar Code Symbologies
Decoding
The terminal supports image decoding for use in various bar code reading and imaging applications. Full-area imaging provides
omni-directional reading of linear and non-linear 1D and 2D bar codes, OCR, signature capture, and picture taking.
When reading all bar code types using full-area imaging, a positive read can be obtained from many positions; see Aiming
Beam on page 3-5. To achieve the best read, the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.
Using the Scan Demo to Decode a Bar Code
The Scan Demo demonstrates the functionality of the integrated scan image engine in the terminal and is not intended as a
functional business solution.
1. On the All Apps list select Scan Demo .
2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the bar code. For optimum performance, avoid reflections by scanning the bar code at a
slight angle.
