WASP WDI9600
DESCRIPTION
With rich feature sets and extensive model options, the
WDI9600 from Wasp represents the premium level of
data collection equipment for general purpose
applications.
The Wasp WDI9600 readers’ ability to capture bar codes
from near to far, to read both high-density and low resolu-
tion codes, to decode hard-to-read, poor or damaged
codes and to easily read bar codes from mobile devices
make these readers the perfect choice for today’s
and tomorrow’s applications in retail and office
environments, pharmacies, light industrial, warehouses
and manufacturing plants.
Top Productivity for POS and Document Handling
Perfect for manual reading, the Wasp WDI9600 linear
imager uses Motionix™ motion detection technology
that detects the operator's natural actions to
automatically switch the scanner into "ready to read" scan
mode. The distinctive "soft line viewfinder" helps the
operator to easily identify the code to be read, making
easier and faster to point, shoot and decode the correct
label, reducing accidental readings in an environment
with multiple bar codes.
Decoding
The Wasp WDI9600 reliably decodes all standard 1D
(linear), including GS1 DataBar™ linear codes, Postal
Codes (China Post). The data stream - acquired from
decoding a symbol - is rapidly sent to the host. The reader
is immediately available to read another symbol.

Hands Free Stand/Holder
An accessory is available which holds the reader at a con-
venient angle, allowing hands free scanning of items. It
can also be used as a holder. The reader automatically rec-
ognizes the insertion and changes its Scan Mode to allow
the user to operate in hands-free mode.

Setting Up the Reader
QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 3
SETTING UP THE READER
Follow the steps below to connect and get your reader up
and communicating with its host.

shown below.
2. Configure the Interface (see page 7).
3. Program the Reader starting on page 16 (optional,
as needed).

Disconnecting the Cable
DISCONNECTING THE CABLE
To remove the interface cable from the reader, first locate
the hole on the back of the handle. Next, take a paper clip
and modify it as shown in the figure below. Insert the
end of the paper clip into the hole and press it to push on
the clip that holds the connector. As you apply pressure,
pull out the cable. When reinserting the cable, make sure
the connector clip is on the same side as the reader
release hole. Insert the cable, it should click when it is
fully inserted.
USING THE Wasp WDI9600
The Wasp WDI9600 normally functions by capturing and
decoding codes. The reader is equipped with an internal
Motionix™ motion-sensing function which activates the
aiming system on device motion. The intelligent aiming
system indicates the field of view which should be
positioned over the bar code:
Aiming System
NOTE: We recommend the use of a perfectly
straight new staple to make the operation easier
(see the pictures below).

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 5
Relative Size and Location of Aiming Pattern
Linear Bar
A red beam illuminates the label. The field of view indi-
cated by the aiming system will be smaller when the
reader is closer to the bar code and larger when it is far-
ther from the code. Symbologies with smaller bars or ele-
ments (mil size) should be read closer to the unit.
Symbologies with larger bars or elements (mil size) should
be read farther from the unit. If the aiming system is cen-
tered and the entire bar code is within the aiming field,
you will get a good read. Successful reading is signaled by
an audible tone plus a good-read green spot LED indicator.
Refer to the Wasp WDI9600 Product Reference Guide
(PRG) for more information about this feature and other
programmable settings.
