Introduction
Barcoding is the most common Automated Data Collection (ADC) technology. It provides 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 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. 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.
The Wasp WWS250i Scanner is an extended distance scanner with a depth of reading of up to one foot depending on the mil size
of the barcode. 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.

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 Wasp WWS250i scanner can read barcodes with X-dimensions as low as 5 mils (0.005
in/0.13mm).
The Wasp WWS250i Scanner 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. The WWS250i Scanner is also capable of reading
popular 2D barcode symbologies, including Aztec Code, Codablock A and F, Data Matrix, EAN-UCC Composite Codes, MaxiCode,
MicroPDF417, PDF417, QR Code, Micro QR Code, and Chinese Sensible Code.
Please see test chart on pages 31-32.

Factory Default
In order to configure the Wasp WWS250i Scanner, 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 preprogrammed for the most common barcode configurations. Use the setup & configuration barcodes only to customize the
WWS250i 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.
In order to configure the Wasp WWS250i Scanner, 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 associated with the symbology.
(2) Scan a 2 digit value from the numbers on page 10.
(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.

The ‘Beep and Delay’ configuration supports the general control options for the Wasp WWS250i Scanner. These options include the volume,
intercharacter delay, and interblock delay.
Interblock delay (see page 18) 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 (see page 18) 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 some stray or scrambled characters appear, increase the intercharacter delay to slow down the transfer rate.
