Scanning With the 2D Area Imager

The CK30C may have the 2D area imager option instead of the 1D linear imager or laser scanner. The 2D imager provides the ability to scan 2D bar code symbologies and supports omni- directional (360°) scanning. Omni-directional scanning means that you can position the CK30 in any orientation to scan a bar code label. Using the 2D area imager is very similar to taking a picture with a digital camera.

To scan a bar code label with the 2D area imager

1Press I to turn on the CK30.

2Point the scanner window at the bar code label and hold the CK30 steady a few inches from the label.

3Press 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 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.
