Decoding; Using The Scan Demo To Decode A Bar Code; The Aiming Beam - Honeywell Dolphin 70e Black User Manual

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
the aiming beam should be centered horizontally across the bar code.

Using the Scan Demo to Decode a Bar Code

The aiming beam should be oriented in line with the bar code to achieve optimal decoding.
1. Touch > Demos
2. Point the Dolphin terminal at the bar code. Press and hold the Scan button.
Note: The left and right side buttons also trigger the scan/imager.
.
3. Center the aiming beam over the bar code; see
Note: By default, the LED illumination and aiming beam options are enabled. For optimum performance, avoid
reflections by scanning the bar code at a slight angle.
4. When the bar code is successfully decoded, the terminal beeps and the bar code information
appears on the touch screen.

The Aiming Beam

The aiming beam is smaller when the terminal is held closer to the code and larger when it is farther
from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or elements (mil size) should be read closer to the unit
whereas symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should be read farther from the unit.
