Dolphin® 7900 Series Mobile Computer User’s Guide 3 - 5
Image Engine Window
Dolphin 7900 terminals have an optional image engine that reads and decodes linear, stacked linear (PDF417), and
2D matrix bar code symbologies. With the latest CMOS-based technology, the engine works like a digital camera
and enables digital image capture, signature capture, and reading of OCR characters.
The engine points out the top panel at a slight downward angle so that the terminal needs to be positioned slightly
above the image or bar code when using the engine.
For more information about imaging, see Using the Image Engine on page 5-1.
Hand Strap Slot
The Dolphin 7900 has an adjustable, elastic hand strap attached to the terminal with a slot on the top of the back
panel. You can detach the handstrap from this clip when you need access to the battery or other item on the back
panel.

Battery
The Battery well is a recessed area on the back of the Dolphin terminal that holds the Li-Ion battery pack.

Stylus and Fastener
The stylus is used to operate the touch screen. The back panel features this storage slot to hold the stylus when
not in use. There is also a fastener on the back panel to which you can attach stylus tethers. A stylus tether is a
coiled elastic cord with one end to attach to the stylus and another to attach fasten to the back panel.
