Please Read

Note:

The Wasp CCD Scanner is ready to scan the most popular

bar codes out of the box. This manual should only be

used to make changes in the configuration of the

scanner for specific applications. This scanner does not

require software or drivers to operate.The scanner enters

data as keyboard data. Please review this manual before

scanning any of the programming bar codes in this manual.

Tech Tip

If you are unsure of the scanner configuration or have

scanned the incorrect codes, please scan the default

bar code on page 6.This will reset the scanner to its

factory settings.

Introduction

Bar coding 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 bar codes 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 bar codes is almost negligible and

can be error-free using bar code symbologies with the check digit enabled.

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

bar code 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. TheWasp CCD is extremely rugged since it has no moving

parts. The Wasp CCD reader supports PC AT/XT and PS/2 keyboard interfaces

and easily wedges between the computer and keyboard. Bar code data is

passed directly into the keyboard buffer as if it had been typed in by hand by a

data entry operator.

Of all the hand held, bar code scanning devices on the market, the CCD reader

is the easiest to use and most cost effective for the typical business user. The

Wasp CCD scanner is a one touch scanner allowing the user to come in direct

contact with the bar code.It also supports a depth of reading of up to 1.4 inches

to successfully decode a bar code symbology.Bar codes up to 2.75 inches in

length can be scanned. To activate the scanner, the user simply covers the bar

code with head of the scanner and pulls the trigger. The Wasp CCD supports a

scan rate of 50 scans per second.

Installation

1. Turn off your computer.

2. Plug the keyboard wedge cable into the handle of the CCD reader.

3. Unplug your PC keyboard cable and plug the male end (Din 5) of the Wasp

CCD scanner directly into your PC keyboard port. Plug your keyboard

cable into the other end (female Din 5) of the the Wasp CCD scanner. If

your keyboard and PC support a Din 6 connection, use the enclosed Din 5

to Din 6 converter cables.

4. Turn your computer on.

Note: Make sure scanner is not plugged into the mouse port. Scanner will

not function properly if plugged into the mouse port.

Quick Start

Your Wasp CCD Scanner is ready to go.The default settings of the Wasp

CCD Scanner have been pre-programmed for the most common bar code

configurations.Use the "CCD Setup & Configuration" sections only to

customize the Wasp CCD settings. Please review the 'Enable Bar Code

Symbologies' configuration on pages 11 and 12 to see the list of bar code

symbologies which are enabled by default.

Tip: Use the pre-printed "Bar Code Test Symbols" in Appendix A on page 20

as a test chart to begin practicing scanning.

Chapter 4

Bar Code Symbologies

Bar codes 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, tracking, and libraries.

The resolution of a bar code is dependent on the narrowest element of a bar

code (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 Wasp CCD scanner can read bar codes with

X-dimensions as low as 5 mils (0.005 in./0.127 mm).

The Wasp CCD scanner can read the most popular bar code symbologies

including Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC-A, UPC-E,

EAN/JAN-8, EAN/JAN-13, Codabar, MSI Plessey, and Code 93.

Please see test chart on page 20.

Chapter 5

CCD Setup & Configuration

In order to configure the Wasp CCD scanner, you must familiarize yourself with

the setup procedures on the following pages.The default settings of the Wasp

CCD scanner are identified on each page and clearly marked with an asterisk

(*). The default settings have been preprogrammed for the most common

bar code configurations. Use the CCD Setup & Configuration only to

customize the Wasp CCD settings. If you need to configure the Wasp CCD

reader, 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 keyboard power to the Wasp CCD scanner is removed by

turning off your PC.

In order to configure the Wasp CCD, three basic steps need to be followed for

each programmed setting:

(1) Scan the 'Begin' bar code with the Wasp CCD reader to select

your configuration

(2) Scan the appropriate setting(s) to customize the CCD configuration

(3) Scan the corresponding 'End' bar code with the Wasp CCD reader

Note: If you are unsure whether or not you have programmed the scanner

properly, return to page 6 and return the scanner back to the default settings.

Then begin the configuration process again.

The 'Set Default' configuration restores the factory default settings.

Tip: Use this option to restore the factory default settings if you are

unsure of your CCD’s configuration. The 'Set Default' configuration is

very useful when you need to reprogram yourWasp CCD reader after the

defaults have been changed. By setting the default configuration, the user

knows precisely the configuration for each programmed setting.

Note: Please use Appendix B regarding the prefix string.You may add up to 4

characters as a Preamble.

Note: Please refer to Appendix B regarding the suffix string.You may add up to

4 characters as a Postamble.

Preamble

Postamble

EndSet

The 'Preamble/Postamble' configuration is used to add a prefix or suffix set of

characters to the bar code value. Up to 4 characters may be added for each

option separately.Preamble and postamble characters can function concurrently,

but need to be configured separately.

To add preamble or postamble characters, follow the steps below:

(1) Scan the 'Begin' bar code on this page

(2) Scan the 'Preamble' or 'Postamble' option

(3) Use Appendix B on page 23 to locate the characters you want to add as

preamble or postamble characters. Find the two character 'Code' associated

with the character you want to add. Scan the two characters on page 25.

Make sure that you scan the two bar codes associated with each letter before

preceding to the next character. This step can be repeated up to six more

times - seven total. For example, to add the letter "A," scan the "4," and then

the "1" on page 25.The letter "A" will always appear in your data as a prefix

or suffix to the bar code value.

(4) Scan the 'Set' option at the bottom of this page.

(5) Scan the 'End' bar code on this page.
