2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK60
steady a few inches from the label.
3 Press the Scan button on the keypad or pull the trigger on a handle and
center the red aiming beam over the bar code label.
The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code and
larger when it is further away.
When the CK60 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.
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.
Below are the minimum reading distances for CK60s using the 2D area
imager. When correctly mounted, an exit window reduces reading distances
by about 4%.
