Chapter 1 — Learning About the CK1

CK1 Handheld Computer User’s Manual

For help configuring the CK1 to communicate through the
serial port to the Ethernet network, see “Configuring PPP
Communications” on page 61.

You can also connect printers and mobile phones to the serial
port using special cables. For help connecting a printer, see
“Connecting to a Printer” on page 21. For help connecting a
mobile phone, see “Configuring to Connect With a Mobile
Phone or a Modem” on page 58.

Using the CK1 Scanner

Do not look directly into the window area or at a reflection
of the laser beam while the laser is scanning. Long-term
exposure to the laser beam can damage your vision.

You use the scanner to scan and enter bar code data. When you
press the Scan button, the scanner emits a beam of laser or linear
imager light that is visible on a bar code label as you scan it. The
CK1 decodes the bar code label and enters the data you scanned.

When you unpack the CK1, these bar code symbologies are
enabled:

• Code 39

• Code 128

• UPC/EAN

• Interleaved 2 of 5

• EAN 128

If you are using bar code labels that are encoded in another
symbology, you need to enable that symbology on the CK1. For
help, see “Configuring Bar Code Symbologies” on page 34.

To scan a bar code label with the scanner

1 Turn on the CK1.

2 Hold the CK1 at a slight angle a few inches from the bar code

label. The scanner must be pointing toward the label.

3 Push the Scan button on the keypad.
