Scanning With an Area Imager
Your CK3 may come with one of two types of area imagers:
• Extended range area imager
• Near-far range area imager
Both area imagers are equipped with a laser pointer to help you aim at
bar codes, allow you to scan 2D bar code symbologies, and support
omni-directional (360°) scanning. Omnidirectional scanning lets you
position the CK3 in any orientation to scan a bar code label.
Scanning With the Extended Range Area Imager
1 Press to turn on the CK3.
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label, and hold the CK3
steady a few inches from the label.
3 Press the Scan button or pull the trigger. The laser pointer and
illumination beam and frame appear.
4 Use the laser pointer as a guide and aim toward the middle of the
bar code. Make sure that the illumination frame covers the bar
code you are trying to decode.
