Chapter 1 Introduction About this Manual This Product Reference Guide (PRG) is provided for users seeking advanced technical information, including connection, programming, maintenance and specifications. The Quick Reference Guide (QRG) and other publications associated with this product are downloadable free of charge from the website listed on the back cover of this manual. Overview Chapter 1, (this chapter) presents information about manual conventions, and an overview of the reader, its features and operation.
Telephone Technical Support If you do not have internet or email access, you may contact Wasp Barcode Technologies technical support at 214-547-4100, or check the back cover of this manual for more contact information.
If you need to modify any programmable settings, custom configuration can be accomplished by scanning the programming barcodes within this guide. The WLS9600 model has a Laser scan engine. 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.
Unpacking Check carefully to ensure the reader and any accessories ordered are present and undamaged. If any damage occurred during shipment, contact Wasp Technical Support. Information is shown page KEEP THE PACKAGING. Should the unit ever require service, it should be returned in its original shipping container.
