Dolphin® 9500/9550 Mobile Computer User’s Guide - GSM Draft
Capturing Images
The image-capture process is an intuitive, split-second operation for experienced users. By following the basic guidelines, new
users can easily develop their own technique and, with practice, quickly learn to adapt it to different application environments.

Image Preview
When the imaging process is initiated, the Dolphin 9500/9550 touch screen displays 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.

The Scan Key
The Scan key captures images on both the Dolphin 9500 and the Dolphin 9550 terminals. It is the only way to capture an image

Image Quality and File Size
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.
file format for images is a grayscale *.jpg.
The image quality and related file size are determined by the data compression method used by the software application in use
when you take images. The average size of the image file is approximately 4-8K. However, the size of the image depends on the
content of the image–the more complex the content, the larger the file size.

For the highest quality, take grayscale images.
Taking an Image
The following steps are basic guidelines for taking images:
1. Point the Dolphin 9500/9550 terminal directly at the object. The imager points straight out the top panel.
2. To preview the image:
•
Press and hold the SCAN key on both the 9500 and 9550.
•
Press and hold the Scan Trigger on the 9550.
3. The touch screen displays a preview of the object, and the decode and scan LEDs light red.
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 (Start > Programs > File
Explorer > My Device). From here, the image file can be uploaded to a host PC using Microsoft ActiveSync and a Dolphin
communication peripheral.
