Capturing Images; Taking An Image - Honeywell Dolphin 9900 User Manual

Capturing Images

The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the
basic guidelines, new users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to
adapt it 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. The live video image has a slightly degraded
appearance compared to the captured image. This is normal.
Scan Key
The SCAN key captures images.
Image Files
The 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.
Compression
The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the
software application used to take images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4–8K.
However, the size of the image depends on the content of the image - the more complex the content, the
larger the file size. For the highest quality image, take grayscale images.

Taking an Image

The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images:
1. Point the Dolphin terminal directly at the object. The imager points straight out the top panel.
2. To preview the image, press and hold the SCAN key.
3. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red.
4. Adjust the terminal's position until the object appears on the screen the way you want it to appear in
the image.
5. Hold the terminal still and release the SCAN key or Scan Trigger. The scan and decode LEDs flash
red, the screen flashes, and the captured image appears on the screen.
6. Unless otherwise specified by the application in use, the image is saved to the \My Device\My
Documents folder (Start > Programs > File Explorer > My Device > My Documents).
