Note:
The Wasp CCD Scanner is ready to scan the most popular
bar codes out of the box. This manual should only be
used to make changes in the configuration of the
scanner for specific applications. This scanner does not
require software or drivers to operate. The scanner enters
data as keyboard data. Please review this manual before
scanning any of the programming bar codes in this manual.
Tech Tip
If you are unsure of the scanner configuration or have
scanned the incorrect codes, please scan the default
bar code on page 6. This will reset the scanner to its
factory settings.

The detectors process the measurement of every bar and space using the number of adjacent photodetectors which contrast a black mark and a white space. The Wasp CCD is extremely rugged since it has no moving parts. The Wasp CCD reader supports PC AT/XT and PS/2 keyboard interfaces and easily wedges between the computer and keyboard. - Page 5 1. Turn off your computer. Plug the keyboard wedge cable into the handle of the CCD reader. 3. Unplug your PC keyboard cable and plug the male end (Din 5) of the Wasp CCD scanner directly into your PC keyboard port. Plug your keyboard cable into the other end (female Din 5) of the the Wasp CCD scanner.
