|
|
|
|
|
Automatic download / upload of data when Dolphin
is placed in the Homebase |
Simplifies data upload / download procedure
|
|
|
|
| Lookup
an entire record for validating |
Reduce
the number of lookups to the validation file, thus reducing the input time. |
|
|
|
|
Control the area the imager “sees” around the
aimer |
Limit the area the imager captures to avoid
decoding the wrong bar code when they are close together |
|
|
|
| Parse
a string using a separator character to return a value |
Separate data scanned from a linear or 2D code based on a certain character.
Save time scanning one bar code to get multiple pieces of data. |
|
|
|
|
Use ActiveSync as a port |
Increase the speed of program and data transfers
over the cradles |
|
|
|
