CCD LR Programming Guide Please Read Note: The Wasp CCD LR 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.

Chapter 1 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.
Chapter 2 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.

Chapter 4 Quick Start Your Wasp CCD LR Scanner is ready for use. The default settings of the Wasp CCD LR Scanner have been pre-programmed for the most common bar code configurations. Use the “CCD LR Setup & Configuration” sections only to customize the Wasp CCD LR settings. Please review the “Enable Bar Code Symbologies” configuration beginning on page 14 to see the list of bar code symbologies which are enabled by default.
Chapter 5 CCD LR Setup & Configuration In order to configure Wasp CCD LR, you must familiarize yourself with the setup procedures on the following pages. The default settings of the Wasp CCD LR are identified on each page and clearly marked using an asterisk (*). The default settings have been preprogrammed for the most common bar code configurations. Use the CCD LR Setup & Configuration only to customize the Wasp CCD LR settings.
Chapter 5 Factory Default & Keyboard Connection Factory Default Use the Factory Default bar code to reset the scanner to the Default settings. Scan this bar code to reset the scanner if you are unsure of how your Wasp CCD LR Scanner is configured: Factory Default Autosense Stand Mode Scan this Autosense Stand Mode bar code to enable the hands-free autosense feature of the CCD LR Scanner. If you desire to turn this mode “off,” please scan the default bar code above.
Chapter 5 Beep and Delay The 'Beep and Delay' configuration supports the general control options for the Wasp CCD LR.These options include the volume, intercharacter delay, and interblock delay. Interblock delay 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. Intercharacter delay is the time period that the scanner will wait before transmitting the next character.
Chapter 5 Beep and Delay Interblock Delay Intercharacter Delay 0ms * 140us * 10ms 500us 50ms 1ms 100ms 4ms 200ms 16ms 500ms *Default 8
Chapter 5 Upper/Lower Case • Caps Lock Auto (For PC XT/AT only): In Auto Trace mode, the scanner will keep track of the Caps Lock status automatically. For some PCs, the scanning performance may be compromised because of the auto tracing.If the scanning performance is poor (or cannot scan) or the scanner cannot output the upper/lower case characters correctly, try to select one of the next two choices instead of auto tracing.
Chapter 5 Keyboard Language The ‘Keyboard Language’ setting controls the key codes for your keyboard’s language. U.S.
Chapter 5 Preamble/Postamble Configuration The ‘Preamble/Postamble’configuration is used to add a prefix or suffix set of characters to the bar code 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. To add preamble or postamble characters, follow the steps below: 1) Scan the ‘Clear Pre/Postamble’ bar code on this page. 2) Scan the ‘Preamble’ or ‘Postamble’ bar code.
Chapter 5 Terminator/Code ID Terminator The ‘Terminator’option is used to specify the end-of-text message and is primarily used to denote the end of the bar code value. CR * Tab None Space LF ESC CR + LF Code ID The ‘Code ID’ option sends a specific value when a particular bar code symbology is scanned. For example, if ‘Code ID’ is enabled and Code 39 is scanned, an “M” will appear in the data stream in front of the bar code value.

Chapter 5 Code 39 Settings Code 39 is variable length and is the most frequently used symbology in industrial bar code 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, $, /, %, +, -, .
Chapter 5 Interleaved 2 of 5 and Code 93 Settings Interleaved 2 of 5 is a variable length, even numbered, numeric bar code. It is typically used in industrial and master carton labeling and also in the automobile industry. The symbology uses bars to represent the first digit of a pair and the interleaved (white) spaces to represent the second digit of a character pair. See page 5 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.
Chapter 5 Code 128 and UCC/EAN 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 5 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.
Chapter 5 MSI Plessey Settings MSI Plessey is a variable length numeric symbology and is primarily used in marking retail shelves. Each character consists of four bars with intervening spaces for each encoded digit, one or two symbol check digits, and a reverse start code. See page 5 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.
Chapter 5 Codabar 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 bar code symbologies and is still used in some library applications. It should not be considered for new applications except under unusual circumstances. See page 5 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.
Chapter 5 UPC-A Settings UPC-A (Universal Product Code-A) is fixed length and is the most common UPC bar code for retail product labeling. It is seen in most grocery stores across the United States. The symbology encodes a 12-digit number. The first six digits are assigned from the Uniform Code Council (UCC). The next five digits are assigned by the manufacturer, and the final digit is a modulo 10 check digit.The nominal height for the UPC-A bar code is one inch.The reduced size is 80% of the nominal size.
Chapter 5 UPC-A Supplement Settings / UPC-A to EAN-13 This option enables the two and five digit supplements for the UPC and EAN/JAN bar code symbologies. 5 Digit Supplement Enable 5 Digit Supplement Disable * 2 Digit Supplement Enable 2 Digit Supplement Disable * Transmit if Present Must Be Present * This option expands the UPC-A bar code to EAN-13.
Chapter 5 UPC-E Settings UPC-E (Universal Product Code-E) is fixed length and is a compressed six digit code used for marking small packages, including magazines and paperback books. UPC-E symbols are UPC-A symbols that have been zero suppressed (i.e. consecutive zeros are not included in the symbol). The printed value of the UPC-E code is a twelve digit code. The nominal height for the UPC-E bar code is one inch.The reduced size is 80% of the nominal size.
Chapter 5 UPC-E Supplement Settings This option enables the two and five digit supplements for the UPC and EAN/JAN bar code symbologies.
Chapter 5 EAN-8 Settings The EAN/JAN-8 is fixed length and is similar to the UPC-E code, but includes two more digits for the country code. The nominal height for the EAN/JAN-8 bar code is one inch.The reduced size is 80% of the nominal size.
Chapter 5 EAN-8 Supplement Settings This option enables the two and five digit supplements for the UPC and EAN/JAN bar code symbologies.
Chapter 5 EAN-13 Settings The EAN/JAN-13 (European Article Number/Japanese Article Number) is fixed length and is similar to the UPC-A symbology, but encodes a 13th digit. The nominal height for the EAN/JAN-8 bar code is one inch.The reduced size is 80% of the nominal size.
Chapter 5 EAN-13 Supplement Settings This option enables the two and five digit supplements for the UPC and EAN/JAN bar code symbologies.
