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 WWS150i 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 WWS150i scanner can read barcodes with X-dimensions as low as 5 mils (0.005
in/0.13mm).
The Wasp WWS150i 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.

Chapter 3 QUICK START
Quick Start
1. Unpack.
Open the box and remove all the pieces from their protective packaging.
2. Charging the WWS150i.
You must charge the scanner for 4 hours before first using it. To charge the
scanner plug the power supply in to the bottom of the scanner.
3. Setting up Bluetooth.
If you already have Bluetooth setup on your PC or device, please continue
to the next step.
To setup Bluetooth on your PC you will need to insert the CD with the Bluetooth software on it. Follow the instruction on the CD
for installing the Bluetooth software.
4. Connecting the scanner to a Bluetooth device.
The scanner will connect to most Bluetooth devices that support HID connection.
You will need to open your Bluetooth software and search for Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth software can be found by clicking
the Bluetooth symbol on the start bar near the computer time. If the Bluetooth symbol is not found, there could be a problem
with the Bluetooth installation.
Once you have the Bluetooth software open you will need to scan the Set Connection barcode (pg 7). This will make the scanner
ready to be detected by the Bluetooth software.
The following screens are Microsoft’s standard Bluetooth wizard.
*Most Bluetooth wizards will have similar steps. Instructions for XP users are displayed below. Instructions for Win7 users
begin on page 5
Check the “My device is setup and ready to be found.” and click Next.
The scanner will show up in the list of Bluetooth devices found. Select the Wasp Barcode Bluetooth
Keyboard and click Next.
If Wasp Barcode Bluetooth Keyboard does not show up in the available devices please check the
following:
1. Make sure the scanner is on by pressing the trigger.
2. If you are using a pre-installed Bluetooth adapter, make sure the adapter supports HID.
The next step will ask you to setup a passkey for the device. By default the scanner will not have a
passkey set. Please select “Don’t use a passkey” and click Next.
You can set a passkey later if you prefer,see Start/Stop Pin on page 8 for details.

Next to contine.
You can verify that your device has been added by clicking the Devices and Printers link on the
screen. Click Close to close the connection wizard.

SETUP AND CONFIGURATION/FACTORY DEFAULT/AUTOSENSE STAND MODE
Use the Factory Default barcode to reset the scanner to the Default settings.
Factory Default
Autosense Flash Mode Enable
Scan this Autosense Stand Mode barcode to enable the hands-free autosense feature of the WWS150i Scanner. If you desire to turn this mode “off,”
please scan the default barcode above.
Autosense Stand Mode
In order to configure the Wasp WWS150i 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
WWS150i 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 WWS150i 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 ASCII table on pages 28-31.
(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 Link Quality affects the transmission quality. When Link Quality is turned on (default setting), data transfer is more secure, but
slower. If you notice that your transmissions to the host are too slow, you can try turning the Link Quality setting to off.
