About the Reader

Product Reference Guide 3

About the Reader

Typically, units are factory-programmed for the most common terminal and communications

settings. If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be

accomplished by scanning the programming barcodes within this guide.

The WLS9600 model has a Laser scan engine. Advancements in the LED technology used in

the imager-based readers significantly improve the illumination of the target field of view,

resulting in higher scan efficiency. Whether used in Single Trigger or Continuous Mode, the

ergonomic design of the reader will help to promote comfortable handling during extended

periods of use.

See "Interface Selection"on page 8 for a listing and descriptions of available interface sets by

model type.

Programming the Reader

Configuration Methods

Programming Barcodes

The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the

interface barcode, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the

instructions and programming barcode labels available in the corresponding features section for

your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Using

Barcodes" starting on page 15.

Some programming labels, like "Restore Custom Defaults"on page 13, require only the scan of

the single label to enact the change. Most, however, require the reader to be placed in

Programming Mode prior to scanning them. Scan an ENTER/EXIT barcode once to enter

Programming Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter

settings before scanning the ENTER/EXIT barcode a second time, which will then accept your

changes, exit Programming Mode and return the reader to normal operation.

There are some exceptions to the typical programming sequence described

above. Please read the description and setting instructions carefully when

configuring each programmable feature.

Setup

Unpacking

Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If

any damage occurred during shipment, contact Wasp Technical Support. Information is shown

on page 2.

KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its

original shipping container.

Setting Up the Reader

Follow the steps provided in this section to connect and get your reader up and communicating

with its host.

1. Begin by Installing the Interface Cable.

2. Go to Interface Selection and set the desired interface.

3. Configure Interface Settings (only if not using factory settings for that interface)

4. Go to Configuring Other Features (if modifications are needed from factory settings)

Setup

WLS9600

Installing the Interface Cable

For Corded versions, connect the reader cable by inserting the cable into the handle as shown in

Figure 1. To remove it, insert a paper clip into the release aperture, then unplug the cable.

Figure 1. Connect/disconnect the cable

RS-232 Serial Connection

Turn off power to the terminal/PC and connect the reader to the terminal/PC serial port via the

RS-232 cable as shown in Figure 2. If the terminal will not support POT (Power Off the

Terminal) to supply reader power, use the approved power supply (AC Adapter). Plug the AC

Adapter barrel connector into the socket on the RS-232 cable connector and the AC Adapter

plug into a standard power outlet.

Figure 2. RS-232 Connection

Installing the Interface Cable

Product Reference Guide

Keyboard Wedge Connection

The Keyboard Wedge cable has a ‘Y’ connection from the reader. Connect the female to the

male end from the keyboard and the remaining end at the keyboard port at the terminal/PC.

Reference Figure 3.

Figure 3. Keyboard Wedge Interface connection

USB Connection

Connect the reader to a USB port on the terminal/PC using the correct USB cable for the

interface type you ordered. Reference Figure 4.

Figure 4. USB connection

Other connection types are described below and illustrated in Figure 5.

Figure 5. Other Interface Connections

or...

Specific cables are required for connection to different hosts. The connec-

tors illustrated above are examples only. Actual connectors may vary from

those illustrated, but the steps to connect the reader remain the same.

Interface Selection

Upon completing the physical connection between the reader and its host, proceed to Table 1

starting on page 9 to select the interface type the reader is connected to (for example: RS-232,

Keyboard Wedge, USB, etc.). Scan the appropriate barcode in that section to configure your

system’s correct interface type.

The reader will support one of the following sets of host interfaces:

•RS-232

• RS-232 OPOS

•USB

• Keyboard Wedge

• Wand Emulation

Setting the Interface

Scan the programming barcode from this section which selects the appropriate interface type

matching the system the reader will be connected to. Next, proceed to the corresponding

section in this manual (also listed in Ta ble 1 starting on page 9) to configure any desired settings

and features associated with that interface.

Unlike some programming features and options, interface selections require that

you scan only one programming barcode label. DO NOT scan an ENTER/EXIT bar-

code prior to scanning an interface selection barcode.

Some interfaces require the scanner to start in the disabled state when powered

up. If additional scanner configuration is desired while in this state, pull the trig-

ger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will change to a state that allows pro-

gramming with barcodes.
