Using the Image Engine
The Dolphin terminal houses a compact image engine that instantly reads 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.
