50,000 scans. The WWS800 uses a CCD long-range linear imager. This manual contains all the information needed to operate and configure the WWS800. It is divided into two parts. The first part of this manual describes the installation, operation and programmable features of the scanner. The second part of this manual contains the setup barcodes used to configure the scanner.

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.

There is a dual color indicator on top of the scanner. Normally it is off, and will turn red when there is a good read. The indicator will be green when the scanner is in configuration mode.

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.

The WWS800 is a multi-interface scanner. It can be used as a keyboard wedge scanner or a USB scanner. The output interface can be programmed using the setup bar codes found in the Reference Guide. Please ensure that you have an RF connection between the scanner and the base prior to selecting the interface type.

This will enable the user to set a delay between each data records in memory at time of transmission. 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...

Click “OK” to go back to “My Bluetooth Places” “Wake up” the WWS800 by pulling the trigger. Double click “Find Bluetooth Devices”. Now the WWS800 should be shown on the screen with the scanner’s serial number as the device name. For this example, the device name is “SW3000006”.

There will be three serial descending tones from the scanner to indicate this condition. After the connection is closed, the WWS800 and the Bluetooth driver are properly configured and are ready to go. You can now run the host application or “Hyper...

2 fixed lengths can be specified. And if max/min code length is selected, the max length and the min length must be specified, and the scanner will only accept those codes with lengths that fall between the max/min lengths specified.

/ min length specified. " • Convert to UK Plessey: If this parameter is enabled, the scanner will change each occurrence of the character ‘A’ into character ‘X’ in the code. • Checksum Transmission: If this parameter is enabled, the checksum characters (two characters) will be transmitted together with data.

Data read by the scanner will be processed in the following sequence (Keyboard Wedge then USB interfaces). 1) The character substitution is performed on the bar code data. 2) The Code ID and the Length Code are inserted at the beginning of the data as shown below.

The WWS800 scanner provides advanced data editing functions for data formatting. Data editing is performed according to user configured editing formats. Up to three editing formats can be configured. Data is divided into fields by user specified rules. These fields, together with user configurable additional fields, constitute the data actually sent to the host computer.
Page 16
The editing formats can be enabled or disabled individually. =< If this parameter is enabled, all data read by the scanner must be processed by the editing format. If the data is not eligible for all enabled editing formats, the scanner will not accept the reading and the data will not be transmitted.

!" Configuring the WWS800 Scanner is done by reading the setup labels contained in the Reference Guide. This section describes the procedure of configuring the scanner. Some configuration examples are also given in this section for illustration. To start the configuration, the “Enter Setup” label must be read. This will put the scanner in the configuration mode.

These two labels differ in whether to keep the new settings on the scanner or not, as their names suggest. The scanner will respond with 6 beeps and restart itself, if either label is read.
