Scanning With the Linear Imager

CK3 Mobile Computer User's Manual
The next two sections describe how to scan a bar code label with the
linear imager, area imager, and near-far range area imager.
If your CK3 has a linear imager, use the following procedure to
practice scanning a bar code. For help scanning PDF417 bar codes, see
the procedure "To scan a PDF417 or Micro PDF417 bar code" on
page 18.
To scan most bar code labels with the linear 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
at a slight angle 15 to 25 cm (6 to 10 in) from the label.
3 Press the Scan button on the keypad, or pull the trigger on a
handle, and direct the red beam so that it falls across all bars in the
bar code label.
Use this test bar code:
