CCD reader is the easiest to use and most cost effective for the typical business user. The Wasp WWS250i Scanner is an extended distance scanner with a depth of reading of up to one foot depending on the mil size of the barcode.
(greater than 0.020 in./0.50 mm). Medium and low densities are the most common since these are the easiest to read (scan) with nearly all scanning devices. The Wasp WWS250i scanner can read barcodes with X-dimensions as low as 5 mils (0.005 in/0.13mm).
1. Unpack. Open the box and remove all the pieces from their protective packaging. 2. Charging the WWS250i. You must charge the scanner for 4 hours before first using it. To charge the scanner plug the power supply in to the bottom of the scanner.

Setup & Configuration In order to configure the Wasp WWS250i Scanner, you must familiarize yourself with the setup procedures on the following pages. The default settings of the scanners are identified on each page and clearly marked using an asterisk (*). The default settings have been preprogrammed for the most common barcode configurations.
Chapter 4 CONNECTION AND SCAN OPTIONS Check Version Scan the Check Version barcode to verify your current firmware’s version number. Check Version Set Connection Scan this barcode to break your current connection and enable your device to connect to a new Bluetooth host. Set Connection Bluetooth SPP (Bluetooth COM) The Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol) creates a virtual Bluetooth comport.
Chapter 4 CONNECTION AND SCAN OPTIONS Start and Stop Pin Use the Start and Stop Pin barcodes if you are prompted for a password during Bluetooth pairing. To use this setting: 1. When prompted for a password, scan the Start Pin barcode 2.

Chapter 4 BEEP SETTINGS The ‘Beep and Delay’ configuration supports the general control options for the Wasp WWS250i Scanner. These options include the volume, intercharacter delay, and interblock delay. Interblock delay (see page 18) is the minimum time interval between two adjacent scans. If the processing speed of your host device is slower than your scanning speed, a longer interblock delay may ensure the data integrity.

Chapter 4 PREAMBLE/POSTAMBLE/ TERMINATOR/CODE ID The ‘Preamble/Postamble’ configuration is used to add a prefix or suffix set of characters to the barcode value. Up to 8 characters may be added for each option separately. Preamble and postamble characters can function concurrently, but need to be configured separately.
Chapter 4 CODE 39 AND INTERLEAVED 2 OF 5 SETTINGS Code 39 is variable length and is the most frequently used symbology in industrial barcode systems today. It is extensively used within the Department of Defense (DOD). The principal feature is to encode messages using the full alphanumeric character set. Standard Code 39 contains only 43 characters (0-9, A-Z, $, /, %, +, -, ., SPACE) and can be extended to a 128 character symbology (full ASCII) by combining one of the special characters (S, /, %, +) with a letter (A-Z) to form the characters that are not present in the standard Code 39 symbology.
Chapter 4 CODE 93 AND MSI PLESSEY SETTINGS Code 93 encodes the full 128 ASCII character set using 9 modules arranged into 3 bars with adjacent spaces. Two of the characters are check characters. Code 93 is similar to Code 39 but encodes more characters per inch. Enable Code 93 Disable Code 93 * Minimum Length (6 *)
Chapter 4 CODE 128 SETTINGS Code 128 is the most flexible of all the common linear symbologies. It supports alpha and numeric characters easily, has the highest number of characters per inch, and is variable length. See page 8 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths. Enable Code 128 * Minimum Length (5 *) Disable Code 128...
Chapter 4 CODABAR AND UPC-A SETTINGS Codabar is a variable length symbology capable of encoding six special alphanumeric characters, capital letters A through D, T, N, *, E, and all numeric digits. Codabar is one of the oldest barcode symbologies and is still used in some library applications. It should not be considered for new applications except under unusual circumstances.
