Connect the interface cable into the 15-pin connector at the back of the base. The
cable you connect will depend on the interface you ordered. The configurations
shown are the Keyboard Wedge and the USB cable connections.
IMPORTANT: First turn OFF your PC or Laptop that you are connecting the base
cable to. Connect the cable to the base and then plug the other end of the cable into
the appropriate connection on your PC as shown in the figures above.
Connect 5VDC jack of the power supply cable into the DC 5V port located at the
back of the base. Connect the AC plug to an AC outlet and then turn ON your PC.
You are now ready to configure your scanner and base.

When you receive your WWS800 Cordless Scanner, it will be in an OFF mode.
This is done to conserve power and for transportation purposes. At the base of the
scanner you will find a small pin hole. Using a straightened paper clip insert the end
of the paper clip into the pin hole and then remove. The scanner will beep and the
LED at the top of the scanner will blink to indicated that the unit is in power ON
mode. The scanner will also power up once inserted into the base.
Please ensure that you power down the scanner if it will not be used for prolonged
periods. This is done by inserting a paper clip into the pin hole at the base of the
scanner. The scanner’s LED will go off and the scanner will power down.

Upon powering up, the scanner will try to establish an RF connection with its base.
At this stage, we need to “pair” the scanner and base.
Turn the base upside down and you will find 2 labels.
The first label has the words “SET CONNECTION” and a barcode. The second
label is the serial number.
To link the scanner to the base, scan the “SET CONNECTION” barcode label. The
scanner will beep once. Next, scan the SERIAL number barcode. The scanner will
beep twice, low then high beep. When it establishes RF connection with the base,
the scanner will emit three short ascending beeps indicating that “pairing” had been
established.

The buzzer of the scanner beeps differently to indicate various operating conditions.
• Power On Beep: The scanner will issue a long beep to indicate a successful
power on.
• Good Read Beep: There are four volume levels and four beeping tones
(frequencies) that the user can select from to signify a good read. The available
options are:
Volume: Maximum/Loud/Medium/Minimum
Frequency: 8 / 4 / 2 / 1 kHz
• Error Beep: The scanner will issue a long beep with a low tone to indicate
errors.
• Enter / Exit Configuration Beep: The scanner will issue 6 beeps upon entering /
exiting the configuration mode.
• Setup Beep: In configuration mode, the scanner will normally beep twice when a
setup barcode is read. If the particular setup parameter needs more than one read,
the scanner will only issue a short beep to indicate that there are more setup
barcodes needed to complete the current parameter setting.

There are eight scan modes supported by the scanner. The user can choose the
desired scan mode depending on the application requirements. The supported scan
modes are described below.
• Auto Off Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is
triggered. The scanning continues until either a barcode is read or a preset
scanning period (Scanner Time-Out Duration) is expired.
• Continuous Mode: The scanner continuously scans.
• Auto Power Off Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is
triggered. The scanning continues until a preset scanning period (Scanner
Time-Out Duration) is expired. Unlike the Auto Off mode, the scanner will
continue to scan and the scanning period is restarted each time there is a
successful read.



• Alternate Mode: The scanner will start scanning once the switch is
triggered. The scanner will continue scanning until the switch is triggered
again.
• Momentary Mode: The scanner will scan as long as the switch is
depressed.
• Repeat Mode: The scanner is always scanning just like Continuous Mode.
But now the switch acts like a “re-transmit button”. If the switch is triggered
within 1 second after a good read, the same data will be transmitted again
without actually reading the barcode. This “re-transmit button” can be
triggered as many times as user desired, as long as the time between each
triggering does not exceed 1 second. This scan mode is most useful when the
same barcode is read many times.
• Laser Mode: This is the scan mode most often used on laser scanners. The
scanner will start scanning once the switch is pressed. The scanning
continues until a barcode is read, the switch is released or a preset scanning
period (Scanner Time-Out Duration) is expired.
• Test Mode: The scanner is always scanning. The scanner will decode
repeatedly even with the same barcode.
By default, the scan mode is Auto Off mode for scanners with trigger switch, and is
Continuous mode for switch-less scanners.
  ()
Auto-Sense is used in conjunction with the auto-sense stand. It will enable the
scanner to start scanning once a barcode is brought within Range of the scanner.
This will activate the LED’s and the scanner will start decoding the barcode. The
auto-sense mode works only under Auto Off mode or Laser mode only.

If the scanner mode is set to Continuous, Auto Power Off, Alternate, or Momentary
mode, the scanner will prevent accidentally reading the same barcode twice by
using a Re-read Delay (Blocking Time). The barcode must be taken away from the
scanning line longer than the Re-read Delay to allow second reading of the same
barcode. The Re-read Delay can be set by the user.

This parameter is used to specify the levels of reading (decoding) redundancy. If No
Redundancy is selected, only one successful decoding is necessary for a valid read.
If Three Times Redundancy is selected, it will take 3 successful decodes to make
the reading valid. It is obvious that the more redundancy the user selects, the higher
the reading integrity and thus the slower the reading speed. The user must
compromise between decoding integrity and speed.

printed with the color of the bars darker than that of the spaces. But for negative

The WWS800 can be configured to use a standard Bluetooth Serial Port as the data
output interface. This allows the WWS800 to send the scanned bar code data to a
Bluetooth enabled computer or mobile device directly without the need of the
WS800 base unit (however, a charging dock is still needed for recharging the
scanner’s battery).
In this section, a step-by-step procedure for installing and configuring the WWS800
for a Bluetooth Serial Port configuration is illustrated. Bluetooth
transceivers/dongles come with their own hardware driver. Bluetooth device
drivers for Windows and WinCE/Pocket PC are available from the Bluetooth
transceiver/dongle manufacturer. In the following example, a WIDCOMM driver is
used.

Before starting the configuration, the scanner must be powered up. If you have not
done so, please follow the procedures described in section 2.2 “Power Up the
WWS800 Cordless Scanner” to power up the scanner.
The first step of the configuration is to put the scanner in configuration mode. To
do this, scan the “Enter Setup” bar code in the Reference Guide. After the device is

Connection authentication is available if communication security is desired. Once
this setting is enabled, a user configurable PIN code is verified during connection
establishment. The scanner will refuse connection if the PIN code is incorrect. Up
to six characters can be specified for a PIN code.

The scanner can be configured to hide itself by NOT broadcasting itself on the air.
This can prevent an unwanted connection to a Bluetooth enabled computer or
mobile device. For the initial connection setup, this setting must be enabled.

The scanner will stay active only for one minute waiting for connection. If there is
no connection request during that period, the scanner will go to power down mode
to conserve power with three descending tones as indication. To return the scanner
to active mode, pull the trigger. Once there is a successful connection, the
scanner will stay active until the connection is closed (for example, when the
host application closes the COM port). After the connection is closed, the
scanner will wait for new connection request for one minute before it goes to power
down mode.
