Scanning: Using the 2D imager to scan a bar code label.
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 CK31 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,
