• For standard and long range scanning distances of 30 cm
(11.8 in) or more, use the laser pointer as a guide and aim
toward the middle of the bar code. Make sure that the
illumination beam covers the bar code you are trying to
decode.
When the CK3 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high
beep, and the Good Read LED turns on briefly.
