    NTRODUCTION This manual contains instructions for changing interfaces and bar codes for customizing the scanner's operation. Since the Wasp Laser scanner contains software enhancements and characteristics that set it apart from other scanners, it is recommended that this guide be used as the sole source of programming labels and information (except for other Wasp Laser product-specific publications).

    ROGRAMMING VERVIEW This section describes how to set the scanner's programmable features. These features can be configured using the bar code labels contained in this manual or by using commands sent from the host. Refer to Appendix A, Additional Information, for host programming details. If you program the scanner using these bar codes, the scanner stores the changes until reprogrammed.

    ERIFICATION Wasp Laser programming has been improved to allow selection of read verification "minimum read" requirements by symbology type, as well as universally. This means that the scanner needn't waste valuable time verifying high-confidence symbologies, while offering the security of multiple read verification on less reliable codes.
  • Page 89 ERIFICATION BY YMBOLOGY To set the minimum read requirement for a desired symbology: 1. Scan the SET label. 2. Scan one symbology label below to select the symbology to be verified. 3.
