Scanning With the 1D Linear Imager

If the CK31 has a 1D linear imager, use the following procedure
to practice how to scan a bar code. The linear imager can decode
PDF417 bar codes as well as bar codes with high-density, low-
density, and poor quality in any lighting conditions.
To scan most bar code labels with the 1D linear imager
1 Press I to turn on the CK31.
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the
computer at a slight angle 15.24 to 25.4 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.
