Code Identification. Wasp CCD, CCD Scanner

The Wasp CCD bar code reader is ready to read most popular bar codes out of the box. This manual can be used for specific applications. The scanner doesn’t require any software or drivers to operate. Data is sent to your computer as keyboard data. The programming bar codes in this manual can be used for specific configuration.

CCD Setup & Configuration

—Code Identification Configuration

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 Configuration

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.

—Code 128 Configuration

Code 128 is the most easily read bar code with the highest message integrity due to seve ral separate message check routines. Of all the common linear s y m b o l o g i e s, Code 128 is the most flex i bl e. It supports both alpha and nu m e ri c c h a ra c t e r s, has the highest number of characters per inch, and is va ri a ble length.

Code 128 is usually the best choice when implementing a new symbology. U n i t e d

Parcel Service (UPS) ex t e n s i vely uses this symbology.

Frequently asked questions

The CCD scanner is a device that reads bar codes. It works by using a light source to illuminate the bar code and then using a photodetector to capture the reflected light. The photodetector is able to sense the differences in light intensity between the bars and spaces of the bar code and convert this information into digital data. This data can then be sent to a computer, where it can be processed and displayed.

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.

You can configure the Wasp CCD scanner by scanning specific bar codes. The manual provides a step-by-step guide on how to configure the scanner for different settings.

The default configuration of the Wasp CCD scanner is designed to work with the most popular bar code types. You can find the default configuration in the 'CCD Setup & Configuration' section of the manual.

Scanning the 'Set Default' bar code will restore the factory default settings of the Wasp CCD scanner. This is useful if you are unsure of your current configuration or want to start over.
