5 The CK3 emits a high beep and the green Good Read light turns
on briefly when the CK3 successfully reads the entire bar code

the bar code label to the top, and back to the bottom, until you
hear the high beep and the green Good Read light turns on.

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 allow you to scan 2D bar code symbologies and
supports omni-directional (360°) scanning. Omnidirectional
scanning means that you can position the CK3 in any orientation to
scan a bar code label.
Scanning With the Extended Range Area Imager
The standard area imager comes equipped with an aiming beam to
help you scan bar codes. Use the following procedure to scan a bar
code label with the standard area imager.
To scan a bar code label with the extended range area imager
1 Press the Power button 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, and center the red
aiming beam over the bar code label. The aiming beam is smaller
when the imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is
further away.
