Chapter 1 — Using the Computer
10 CK61 Mobile Computer with Windows Mobile User’s Manual
Both area imagers allow you to scan 2D bar code symbologies and support
omni-directional (360°) scanning. Omni-directional scanning means that
you can position the CK61 in any orientation to scan a bar code label.
Using an area imager is very similar to taking digital pictures.
Scanning with a Standard Area Imager
The standard area imager comes equipped with an aiming beam to help you
scan bar codes. Use the following procedure to scan a bar code with the
standard area imager.
To scan a bar code label with the standard area imager
1 Press the power switch to turn on the CK61.
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK61
steady and pointed at 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.
4 The aiming beam is smaller when the imager is closer to the bar code
and larger when it is further away.
5 When the CK61 successfully reads a bar code label, you hear a high
beep and the green Good Read light turns on briefly.
6 Release the Scan button or the trigger.
Scanning with a Near-Far Area Imager
The near-far range area imager allows you to scan a bar code a both near
and far distances. It is equipped with a laser pointer to help you aim at bar
codes.
To scan a bar code label with the near-far area imager
1 Press the power switch to turn on the CK61.
2 Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK61
steady and pointed at the label.
3 Press the Scan button on the keypad or pull the trigger on the handle.
The illumination beam and laser pointer appear.
For near or close-in scanning distances of 30 cm (11.8 in) or less, use the
laser pointer and aim slightly to the right of center of the bar code.
Make sure the illumination beam covers the bar code you are trying to
decode.
For standard and long range scanning distances of 30 cm (11.8 in) or
more, use the laser pointer and aim towards the middle of the bar code.
Make sure the illumination beam covers the bar code you are trying to
decode.
Note: For near (close-in), standard, and long-range scanning, the
illumination beam must be completely over the bar code. The laster pointer
acts as a guide and does not need to be on the bar code.
