Thank you very much for purchasing Wasp bar code printer.
The new high performance WPL618 Series was designed to deliver 24x7 high volume
performance. It features a die-cast aluminum print mechanism housed in a very strong yet
lightweight cabinet. This new design results in a more durable printer that is suited for
your most heavy-duty demand cycles.
There are three models available with the WPL618 Series. The WPL618 prints at 203 dpi
at speeds up to an amazing 18 inches per second, WPL618 - 300 offers higher 300 dpi
resolution at speeds up to 14 inches per second, and the WPL618 - 600 features 600 dpi
high resolution which makes it ideal for printing very small 2D barcodes, graphics, fine
print and other ultra-high-resolution images.
The WPL618 Series printers are loaded with standard features including a color touch
display with new GUI design and six menu buttons to provide a great user experience,
support for 600 meter ribbons, 8" OD media rolls, built-in Ethernet, two USB hosts for
