Page 51: Decoding
Decoding The Dolphin terminal supports two types of image decoding: full-area imaging and Advanced Linear Decoding (ALD). Full-area Imaging Full-area imaging means that the Dolphin terminal support omni-directional aiming, which means that a positive read can be obtained from many positions. For details, see Omni- Directional Scanning Positions on page... - Page 52 Omni-Directional Scanning Dolphin terminals support omni-directional scanning. In general, the aiming pattern or beam is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the bar code and larger when farther from the bar code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the terminal whereas larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the terminal.
