Note:

The Wasp®WCS3900 Series Scanners

are ready to scan the most popular barcodes out of the box.

This manual should only be used to make changes in the

configuration of the scanner for specific applications. These

scanners do not require software or drivers to operate. The

scanner enters data as keyboard data. Please review this manual

before scanning any of the programming barcodes in this manual.

Tech Tip

If you are unsure of the scanner configuration or have scanned

the incorrect codes, please scan the default barcode on page 7.

This will reset the scanner to its factory settings.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Barcoding is the most common Automated Data Collection (ADC)

technology providing timely, error-free information that can be used to

increase productivity, accuracy, and efficiency in the workplace. Virtually

every type of industry is using barcodes to replace keyboard data entry.

Studies have shown that a proficient data entry operator will make one

error for every 300 characters that are manually entered. The error rate

using barcodes is almost negligible and can be error-free using barcode

symbologies with the check digit enabled.

The Wasp Charged Coupled Device (CCD) technology is a technique

whereby a barcode is photographed, digitized, and electronically sampled

by built-in photodetectors. The detectors process the measurement of

every bar and space using the number of adjacent photodetectors which

contrast a black mark and a white space. Wasp WCS3900 Series Scanners

are extremely rugged since they have no moving parts. WCS3900 Series

Scanners plug into your PC’s USB or PS/2 port. As you scan a barcode,

the barcode value is automatically displayed in your application (eg. an

Excel cell, inventory application, etc.) where the blinking curser is, just as

if it had been typed on the keyboard.

Of all the hand held barcode scanning devices on the market, the CCD

reader is the easiest to use and most cost effective for the typical business

user. To activate the scanner, the user simply points the scanning aperture

towards the barcode, pulls the trigger, and aims the red LED beam across

the barcode. This scanner will work at a range of contact up to 1.5” away

from the barcode.

Chapter 2

Barcodes are symbols consisting of a series of bars and spaces which can

be applied to packages, cartons, bottles, and other commercial products.

The bars and spaces in each symbol are grouped in such a way to

represent a specific ASCII character or function. The interpretation of

these groups is based on a particular set of rules called symbologies.

Various symbologies have been developed for particular applications.

Some examples are shipping and receiving, manufacturing, retail,

healthcare, transportation, document processing and tracking, and

libraries.

The resolution of a barcode is dependent on the narrowest element of a

barcode (X dimension), and can vary from high density (nominally less

than 0.009 in./0.23 mm), medium density (between 0.009 in./0.23 mm and

0.020 in./0.50 mm), and low density (greater than 0.020 in./0.50 mm).

Medium and low densities are the most common since these are the

easiest to read (scan) with nearly all scanning devices. The scanner can

read barcodes with X-dimensions as low as 5 mils (0.005 in/0.13mm).

WCS3900 Series Scanners can read the most popular barcode

symbologies including Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5,

UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN/JAN-8, EAN/JAN-13, Codabar, and MSI/Plessey.

Please see test chart on pages 29-31.

Your Wasp WCS3900 Series Scanners are ready for use. The default

settings of the scanners have been pre-programmed for the most common

barcode configurations. Use the “Setup & Configuration” sections only to

customize the scanners settings. Please review the “Enable Barcode

Symbologies” configuration beginning on page 14 to see the list of

barcodes symbologies which are enabled by default.

Tip:

•Use the pre-printed "Barcode Test Symbols" in Appendix A on pages

29-31 as a test chart to practice scanning.

Chapter 5

In order to configure Wasp WCS3900 Series Scanners, you must

familiarize yourself with the setup procedures on the following pages. The

default settings of the scanners are identified on each page and clearly

marked using an asterisk (*). The default settings have been

programmed for the most common barcode configurations. Use

the setup & configuration barcodes only to customize the

WCS3900 Series Scanner settings. If you need to configure the

Scanner, the default settings will be overwritten. All the programmed

settings are stored permanently in non-volatile memory; therefore, your

configuration will be maintained even if the keyboard power to the

WCS3900 Series Scanners are removed by turning off your PC.

In order to configure Wasp WCS3900 Series Scanners,

two basic steps need to be followed:

(1) Locate the group that contains the options to be changed.

(2) Scan the barcode representing the option to be changed.

The scanner will sound two beeps.

To change Minimum/Maximum Length:

(1) Scan the Minimum or Maximum Length barcode on page 15.

(2) Scan a 2 digit value from the ASCII table on pages 31-34

(3) Scan the Minimum or Maximum Length barcode again.

Example: To have a minimum length barcode of 1, you must scan a

0 then 1, then scan the minimum barcode again. To have a maximum

length barcode of 10, you must scan a 1 then 0, then scan the

maximum barcode again.

BEEP AND DELAY

The 'Beep and Delay' configuration supports the general control options

for the WCS3900 Series Scanners. These options include the volume,

intercharacter delay, and interblock delay.

Interblock delay is the minimum time interval between two adjacent scans.

If the processing speed of your host device is slower than your scanning

speed, a longer interblock delay may ensure the data integrity.

Intercharacter delay is the time period that the scanner will wait before

transmitting the next character. If data sent by the scanner has incorrect or

missing characters, a longer intercharacter delay may solve the problem.

The intercharacter delay should be changed only if the transfer rate cannot

be maintained between the scanner and the keyboard buffer of the

computer.

Note: The default for the intercharacter delay is set to '140us' and is the

most common configuration; however, your PC may be different. When

you scan a barcode, if stray or scrambled characters appear, increase the

intercharacter delay to slow down the transfer rate.
