Taking An Image; Soft Reset (Warm Boot); Hard Reset (Cold Boot) - Hand Held Products Dolphin 9500 Quick Start Manual

Taking an Image

The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation. 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.
Note: The Dolphin 9551 and Dolphin 9501 do not support image capture.
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.
• Press and hold the Scan Trigger on the Dolphin 9550.
3. The display shows a preview of the object. This is a live video image of what
the imager is currently viewing. It has a slightly degraded appearance
compared to the captured image. This is normal.
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 touch 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 folder. The image file can be uploaded to a host PC using
®
Microsoft ActiveSync

Soft Reset (Warm Boot)

A soft reset re-boots the device without losing RAM data. You would perform a
soft reset when
• the terminal fails to respond.
• after installing some software applications.
• after making changes to certain system settings, such as network cards.
1. Press and hold the CTRL + SFT keys for approximately five seconds.
2. The decode and scan LEDs flash for approximately three seconds as the
terminal resets.
3. When the reset is complete, the Today screen displays.

Hard Reset (Cold Boot)

A hard reset resets the operating system, restores the terminal back to factory
defaults, and resets the terminal after a bootloader, keyboard, and kernel
upgrade.
!
A hard reset erases all of the data stored in RAM memory and all RAM
installed applications.
1. Press and hold the CTRL + ESC keys for approximately five seconds.
