Note:
The Wasp WLP 4170 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.
