Getting Started 1-3 Introduction The scanner combines excellent scanning performance and advanced ergonomics to provide the best value in a lightweight laser scanner. Whether used as a hand-held scanner or in hands-free mode in a stand, the scanner ensures comfort and ease of use for extended periods of time. In addition to single-line laser scanning, the scanner supports multi-line rastering.

PAGE 22
2-4 WLS 9500 Product Reference Guide Beeper Definitions The scanner issues different beep sequences and patterns to indicate status. Table 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner. Table 2-1. Beeper Definitions Beeper Sequence Indication Standard Use Low/medium/high beeps Power up. Short high beeps A bar code symbol was decoded (if decode beeper is enabled). 4 long low beeps A transmission error was detected in a scanned symbol.

Scanning 2-5 Table 2-2. Standard LED Definitions LED Indication Red A data transmission error or scanner malfunction occurred. Scanning in Hand-Held Mode Install and program the scanner (see Setting Up the Scanner on page 1-4). For assistance, contact the local supplier or Wasp Technologies. To scan in hand-held mode: 1. Ensure all connections are secure. (See the host chapter for the scanner.) 2. Aim the scanner at the bar code. 3. Press the trigger.
PAGE 24
2-6 WLS 9500 Product Reference Guide When scanning using a multi-line scan mode, at least one scan line must cross every bar and space of the symbol. 012345 012345 Figure 2-4. Acceptable and Incorrect Multi-Line Aiming Regardless of the scan mode, the scan line is smaller when the scanner is closer to the symbol and larger when it is farther from the symbol.
PAGE 25
Scanning 2-7 The scanner can be tilted up to 65° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure 2-5). Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within. 65 65 o o Figure 2-5.
PAGE 26
2-8 WLS 9500 Product Reference Guide Scanning in Hands-Free Mode The optional Intellistand adds greater flexibility to scanning operation. When the scanner is seated in the stand’s “cup,” the scanner’s built-in sensor places the scanner in hands-free mode. When the scanner is removed from the stand, it automatically switches modes to operate in its normal hand-held triggered mode. Assemble the Stand Figure 2-6.
PAGE 27
Scanning 2-9 Scanning with the WLS 9500 Hands Free Stand When the scanner is placed in the Intellistand, the scan pattern selected in hand-held triggered mode continues (see Scan Pattern on page 4-7). To operate the scanner in the WLS 9500 Hands Free Stand: 1. Ensure the scanner is properly connected to the host (see the appropriate host chapter for information on host connections). 2. Insert the scanner in Intellistand by placing the front of the scanner into the stand’s “cup.

Keyboard Wedge Interface 5-3 Introduction This chapter describes how to set up a Keyboard Wedge interface with the scanner. With this interface, the scanner is connected between the keyboard and host computer, and translates bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the keystrokes as if they originated from the keyboard. This mode adds bar code reading functionality to a system designed for manual keyboard input. Keyboard keystrokes are simply passed through.

Keyboard Wedge Parameter Defaults Table 5-1 lists the defaults for Keyboard Wedge host parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) in the Keyboard Wedge Host Parameters section beginning on page page 5-5. See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters. Table 5-1.

When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound on the scanner.
PAGE 54
5-8 WLS 9500 Product Reference Guide Keystroke Delay This is the delay in milliseconds between emulated keystrokes. Scan a bar code below to increase the delay when hosts require a slower transmission of data. *No Delay Medium Delay (20 msec) Long Delay (40 msec) Intra-Keystroke Delay When enabled, an additional delay is inserted between each emulated key depression and release. This sets the Keystroke Delay parameter to a minimum of 5 msec as well.

5-10 WLS 9500 Product Reference Guide Convert Wedge Data When enabled, the scanner will convert all bar code data to the selected case. Convert to Upper Case Convert to Lower Case *No Convert Function Key Mapping ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as control key sequences (see Table 5-2 on page 5-13). When this parameter is enabled, the keys in bold are sent in place of the standard key mapping. Table entries that do not have a bold entry remain the same whether or not this parameter is enabled.

7-54 WLS 9500 Product Reference Guide Symbology - Intercharacter Gap The Code 39 and Codabar symbologies have an intercharacter gap that is customarily quite small. Due to various bar code printing technologies, this gap may grow larger than the maximum size allowed, causing the scanner to be unable to decode the symbol. If this problem is encountered, scan Large Intercharacter Gaps to tolerate out-of-specification bar codes.
