About the Reader Introduction
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 bar codes within this guide.
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 Bar Codes
The reader is factory-configured with a standard set of default features. After scanning the
interface bar code, you can select other options and customize your reader through use of the
instructions and programming bar code labels available in the corresponding features section for
your interface. Customizable settings for many features are found in "Configuration Parameters"
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 bar code once to enter Programming
Mode. Once the reader is in Programming Mode, scan a number of parameter settings before
scanning the ENTER/EXIT bar code 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 Barcode Technologies 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 Installing the Interface Cable
6 WDI4600
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.

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.

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

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:
General Purpose Models
•RS-232
• RS-232 OPOS
•USB-COM
• Keyboard Wedge
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
Table 1 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 barcode 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 trigger and hold it for five seconds. The scanner will
change to a state that allows programming with barcodes.
