Using the Image Engine

Overview

The Dolphin 7900 terminal houses a compact image engine that instantly reads all popular 1D and 2D bar codes and supports 
omni-directional aiming and decoding for greater flexibility in real-world settings. The image engine can also capture digital 
images, such as signatures and pictures of damaged inventory. Images are saved in industry-standard file formats.

Image Engine Options 

Dolphin 7900 terminals may be equipped with one of the following image engines. 

Note: The IMAGETEAM 4300 SR image engine contains a high-visibility aimer that projects aiming brackets around the bar 

code or image preview for maximum viewability. For details, see
