Scanning Bar Codes

CK3 Mobile Computer User's Manual
The blue LED usually turns off within 10 seconds, but it may stay
on for up to 30 seconds. During this time, do not press the Power
button or remove the battery, or you may corrupt the data on
your CK3.
The Intermec Ready-to-Work indicator (blue LED) is used by
Intermec's SmartSystems Foundation, an application that lets you
manage all of your SmartSystems-enabled devices simultaneously
from a central location. For more information, see
CK3 Remotely With SmartSystems Foundation" on page
contact your Intermec representative. Custom applications may also
use the blue LED for other purposes.
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
Adapter (AA21)
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, 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
