Attaching a Tethered Scanner

CK30 Handheld Computer User's Manual
Chapter 1 — Using the CK30 Handheld Computer
The imager flashes repeatedly while it is trying to read a bar
code. The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to
the bar code and larger when it is further away.
When the CK30 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear
a high beep and the green Good Read light turns on briefly.
4 Release the Scan button or the trigger.
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 "Configuring the CK30 With
SmartSystems Console" on page 38. For more information on
the commands and their parameters, see the Intermec Computer
Command Reference Manual (P/N 073529). The Intermec
Computer Command Reference Manual is available from the
Intermec web site or from the CD that ships on the inside front
cover of this user's manual.
You can use a tethered scanner with the CK30 if you ordered it

scanner. The following devices are currently supported by the
