Intermec CK31 User Manual page 44

Chapter 1 — Using the CK31 Handheld Computer
means that you can position the CK31 in any orientation to
scan a bar code label. Using the area imager is very similar to
taking a picture with a digital camera.
To scan a bar code label with the area imager
1 Press I to turn on the CK31.
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the
CK31 steady a few inches from the label.
3 Press the Scan button on the keypad or pull the trigger on a
handle and center the red aiming beam over the bar code
label, as shown in the illustration on the next page.
The aiming beam flashes repeatedly while the imager tries to
read a bar code. Also, the aiming beam is smaller when the
imager is closer to the bar code and larger when it is further
away.
When the CK31 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear
a high beep and the green Good Read light turns on briefly.
