illumination beam covers the bar code you are trying to
decode.
Note: For near (close-in), standard, and long range
scanning, the illumination beam must be completely over
the bar code. The laser pointer acts as a guide and does not
need to be on the bar code.
4 When the CK31 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear
a high beep and the green Good Read light turns on briefly.
If there are multiple bar codes in one area, you should enable the
center-decoding parameter to read your bar codes. Use Intermec
Settings to enable and disable this parameter. For help, see
"Configuring the CK31 With Intermec Settings" on page 40.
The center-decoding parameter only decodes a bar code if:
• the laser pointer is on the bar code
• the illumination beam covers the bar code
To scan a bar code using center-decoding
1 Press I to turn on the CK31.
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label.
3 Press the Scan button on the keypad or pull the trigger on the
handle. The illumination beam and the laser pointer appear.
4 Aim both the illumination beam and the laser pointer at the
bar code you want to scan.
