Introduction
Bar coding is the most common Automated Data Collection (ADC) technology providing timely, error-free information that can be used to increase productivity, accuracy, and efficiency in the workplace. Virtually every type of industry is using bar codes to replace keyboard data entry. Studies have shown that a proficient data entry operator will make one error for every 300 characters that are manually entered. The error rate using bar codes is almost negligible and can be error-free using bar code symbologies with the check digit enabled.
The Wasp Charged Coupled Device (CCD) technology is a technique whereby a bar code is photographed, digitized, and electronically sampled by built-in photodetectors. 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. Bar code data is passed directly into the keyboard buffer as if it had been typed in by hand by a data entry operator.
Of all the hand held, bar code scanning devices on the market, the CCD reader is the easiest to use and most cost effective for the typical business user. The
Wasp CCD scanner is a one touch scanner allowing the user to come in direct contact with the bar code. It also supports a depth of reading of up to 1.4 inches to successfully decode a bar code symbology. Bar codes up to 3.15 inches in length can be scanned. To activate the scanner, the user simply covers the bar code with head of the scanner and pulls the trigger. The Wasp CCD supports a scan rate of 50 scans per second.

Quick Start
Your Wasp CCD Scanner is ready to go. The default settings of the Wasp CCD
Scanner have been pre-programmed for the most common bar code configurations. Use the "CCD Setup & Configuration" sections only to customize the Wasp CCD settings. Please review the 'Enable Bar Code Symbologies' configuration on page 16 to see the list of bar code symbologies which are enabled by default.
Tip: Use the pre-printed "Bar Code Test Symbols" in Appendix A on page 31 as a test chart to begin practicing scanning.

Chapter 4
Bar Code Symbologies
Bar codes are symbols consisting of a series of bars and spaces which can be applied to packages, cartons, bottles, and other commercial products. The bars and spaces in each symbol are grouped in such a way to represent a specific
ASCII character or function. The interpretation of these groups is based on a particular set of rules called symbologies. Various symbologies have been developed for particular applications. Some examples are shipping and receiving, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, transportation, document processing and tracking, and libraries.
The resolution of a bar code is dependent on the narrowest element of a bar code (X dimension), and can vary from high density (nominally less than 0.009
in./0.23 mm), medium density (between 0.009 in./0.23 mm and 0.020 in./0.50
mm), and low density (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 CCD scanner can read bar codes with
X-dimensions as low as 5 mils (0.005 in./0.127 mm).
The Wasp CCD scanner can read the most popular bar code symbologies including Code 39, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5, UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN/JAN-8,
EAN/JAN-13, Codabar, MSI Plessey, and Code 93.
Please see test chart on page 31.

CCD Setup & Configuration
In order to configure the Wasp CCD scanner, you must familiarize yourself with the setup procedures on the following pages. The default settings of the Wasp
CCD scanner are identified on each page and clearly marked with an asterisk
(*). The default settings have been preprogrammed for the most common bar code configurations. Use the CCD Setup & Configuration only to
customize the Wasp CCD settings. If you need to configure the Wasp CCD reader, the default settings will be overwritten. All the programmed settings are stored permanently in non-volatile memor y. Therefore, your configuration will be maintained even if keyboard power to the Wasp CCD scanner is removed by turning off your PC.
In order to configure the Wasp CCD, three basic steps need to be followed for each programmed setting:
(1) Scan the 'Begin' bar code with the Wasp CCD reader to select your configuration
(2) Scan the appropriate setting(s) to customize the CCD configuration
(3) Scan the corresponding 'End' bar code with the Wasp CCD reader
Three or more audible beeps will be heard after each step is completed.

—Set Default Configuration
The 'Set Default' configuration restores the factory default settings.
Tip: Use this option to restore the factory default settings if you are unsure of your CCD’s configuration. The 'Set Default' configuration is very useful when you need to reprogram your Wasp CCD reader after the defaults have been changed. By setting the default configuration, the user knows precisely the configuration for each programmed setting.

CCD Setup & Configuration
—Preamble/Postamble Configuration
The 'Preambl e / Po s t a m ble' configuration is used to add a prefix or suffix set of c h a racters to the bar code va l u e. Up to 10 characters may be added for each option separa t e l y. P r e a m ble and postamble characters can function concurrently, but need to be configured separa t e l y.
To add preamble or postamble chara c t e r s, fo l l ow the steps below :
(1) Scan the 'Begin' bar code on this page
(2) Scan the 'Preamble' or 'Po s t a m ble' option
(3) Use Appendix C on page 36 to locate the characters you want to add as p r e a m ble or postamble chara c t e r s. Find the two character 'Code' associated with the character you want to add. Scan the two characters on page 35.
M a ke sure that you scan the two bar codes associated with each letter befo r e preceding to the next chara c t e r. This step can be repeated up to nine more times - ten total. For ex a m p l e, to add the letter "A," scan the "4," and then the
"1" on page 35. The letter "A" will always appear in your data as a prefix or suffix to the bar code va l u e.
(4) Scan the 'Set' option on page 35.
(5) Scan the 'End' bar code on this page.
Begin
Preamble
Note: Please use Appendix C regarding the prefix string. You may add up to 7 characters as a Preamble.

CCD Setup & Configuration
—CCD Hardware Configuration:
The 'CCD Hardware' configuration supports the general control options for the
CCD reader. These options include the buzzer volume, buzzer duration, and intercharacter delay. The intercharacter delay should be changed only if the transfer rate cannot be maintained between the CCD reader and the keyboard buffer of the computer.
Note: The default for the intercharacter delay is set to 'Medium' and is the most common configuration; however, your PC may be different. When you scan a bar code, if some characters are missing, use the 'Fast' option to speed up the transfer rate. If some stray or scrambled characters appear at your cursor, use the 'Slow' option to slow down the transfer rate.

The 'Keyboard Setting' configuration provides specific options on how to pass your data to the keyboard buffer. 'Lower Case' is the default and toggles upper to lower case letters. For example, "A" is modified to "a". 'Upper Case' toggles lower to upper case letters. Either 'Lower Case' or 'Upper Case' can be enabled, but not both simultaneously. 'Alphanumeric' is the other default for the
'Keyboard Setting' and passes all characters unmodified. When 'Number Lock' is configured, numbers that are in your bar coded values will be passed to the keyboard buffer if the "Num Lock" key is enabled on your keyboard. If the "Num
Lock" key is disabled, numbers that are in your bar coded values will not be passed to the keyboard buffer of your computer.

The 'CCD Scanning Control' configuration allows the user to customize how the t rigger is to opera t e, the length of time in which the LEDs (i.e. the CCD photodetectors) are on, and activates auto scanning. The Wasp CCD has seve n
(7) options to control this configura t i o n . Only one option can be enabled at a time.
Note: When the LEDs are visible, the CCD scanner can read the bar code symbologies that are enabled. See 'Enable Bar Code Symbologies' for further information.
Begin
Trigger Pressed
When this option is selected, the LEDs become visible when the trigger is pressed, and the
LEDs will immediately go off when the trigger is released.
Trigger pressed
* Trigger with 3 Sec. Delay
This is the default option for the Wasp CCD scanner. When this option is selected, the
LEDs become visible when the trigger is pressed, and will remain on for three (3) seconds or until a bar code is scanned.
* Trigger with Delay
Tip: The delay option is a useful feature if you are scanning multiple bar codes back-to-back. 'Trigger with 3 Sec.Delay' is the default because it is the optimal configuration when you are setting up the Wasp CCD reader. Three bar codes are generally scanned for each step: 'Begin', an option, and 'End'. When this option is enabled, the trigger is typically only pressed one time to scan all three steps.

The 'Code Identification' configuration provides the option to precede each bar code symbology read with a character that identifies the type of symbology read. Only one code identifier is allowed for each specific type of bar code.
These can be found in Appendix C on page 36. For example, to set the code identifier for Code 39 to be "A":
(1) Scan the 'Begin' bar code on this page
(2) Scan the 'Code 39' option
(3) Turn to page 35 and scan the two bar codes associated with letter "A"
(4) Scan the 'Set' option in Appendix C.
(5) Scan the 'End' bar code on this page.
In this example, each and every time a Code 39 bar code symbology is scanned, the letter "A" will precede the bar code value.

Code 39 is va ri a ble length and is the most frequently used symbology in industri a l bar code systems today and is ex t e n s i vely used within the Department of Defe n s e
( D O D ) . The principal feature is to encode messages using the full alphanu m e ri c c h a racter set. The Code 39 bar code uses four special characters "$", "/", "+". " % " which can be paired with alphanu m e ric characters to extend to the full ASCII c h a racter set. Standard Code 39 contains only 43 characters (0-9, A-Z, $, /, %, +,
-, ., SPACE) and can be extended to a 128 character symbology (full ASCII) by combining one of the special characters ($, /, %, +) with a letter (A-Z) to fo rm the c h a racters that are not present in the standard Code 39 symbology.

It is typically used in industrial and master carton labeling and also in the a u t o m o t i ve industry. The symbology uses bars to represent the first character and the interl e aved (white) spaces to represent the second chara c t e r.
The 'Interl e aved 2 of 5' configuration provides the option to define up to three (3) f i xed bar code lengths (i.e. number of chara c t e r s ) . For ex a m p l e, to define the length of the bar code symbology, you must refer to Appendix B on page 34 and fo l l ow the steps below :
( 1 ) Scan the 'Begin' bar code on this page
(2) Scan the 'Define Length' option
(3) Use the lookup table (Appendix B) to find the value (0 - 255) and to define the bar code length. I f, for ex a m p l e, the length is to be "10", the lookup value is "0A". S c a n
