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
ALD
ALD provides fast reading of linear (1D) and stacked linear bar codes (e.g., PDF417). For the best read, the aiming
pattern should be centered horizontally across the bar code. When ALD is enabled, the reader does not read matrix
or postal codes.
