Scanning With The 2D Area Imager - Intermec CK60 User Manual

Scanning with the 2D Area Imager

CK60 Mobile Computer with Windows CE User's Manual
When you unpack the CK60, the Code39, UPC/EAN, and PDF417 (with
imager) bar code symbologies are enabled.
If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different symbology,
you need to enable the symbology on the computer. Use the Intermec
Settings applet to enable and disable symbologies for your scanner. For help
on using the Intermec Settings applet, see
Applet" on page 10.
The CK60 has the 2D area imager, which provides the ability to scan 2D
bar code symbologies and supports omni-directional (360°) scanning where
you can position the CK60 in any orientation to scan a bar code label.
Using the 2D area imager is similar to taking a digital pictures.
1 Press the power button to turn on the CK60.
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK60
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.
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and
larger when it is further away.
When the CK60 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high beep
and the green Good Read indicator turns on briefly.
4 Release the Scan button.
If you have problems scanning a bar code with the 2D imager, try following
some of these tips to improve the performance of your imager:
• Set Lighting mode to Illum LED Priority.
• Keep your hand as steady as possible while scanning a label.
• Make sure that Aimer LED Duration is set to zero.
• Position the imager as close to the bar code as possible while still being
able to capture the entire bar code.
• Enable only the bar codes that you need to use every day.
Use Intermec Settings to configure these imager commands. For help using
Intermec Settings, see "Using the Intermec Settings Applet" on page
For more information on the commands and their parameters, see the
Intermec Computer Command Reference Manual (P/N 073529) via the
Intermec web site. See
