Scanning Bar Codes

16
The CK3 ships with an internal imager to scan and enter bar code
data. You can also connect to:
• cordless scanners, such as the SF51 and SR61 through Bluetooth
communications. For help, see
Scanner" on page
• tethered scanners, such as the SR30 and SR61T through the
CK3 RS-232 adapter (Model AA21). For help, see the CK3 RS-232
Adapter (AA21) Instructions (P/N 943-182-xxx).
The type of imager you are using and the type of bar code you are
decoding determines the way you scan the bar code. Depending on
the imager model in your CK3, the CK3 supports reading 1D linear
bar codes, 2D images, and composite and postal codes.
By default, these bar code symbologies are enabled on the CK3:
• Code 39
• Code 128/GS1-128
• DataMatrix (area imagers only)
• PDF417 (if supported)
• EAN/UPC
If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in a different
symbology, you need to enable the symbology on the CK3. Use
Intermec Settings to enable and disable symbologies. For help, see
"Configuring the CK3 With Intermec Settings" on page
The next two sections describe how to scan a bar code label with the
linear imager, area imager, and near-far range area imager.
