Introduction
Barcoding 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 barcodes 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 barcodes is almost negligible and can be error-free using barcode
symbologies with the check digit enabled.
The Wasp Charged Coupled Device (CCD) technology is a technique
whereby a barcode 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. Wasp WCS3900 Series Scanners
are extremely rugged since they have no moving parts. WCS3900 Series
Scanners plug into your PC’s USB or PS/2 port. As you scan a barcode,
the barcode value is automatically displayed in your application (eg. an
Excel cell, inventory application, etc.) where the blinking curser is, just as
if it had been typed on the keyboard.
Of all the hand held barcode scanning devices on the market, the CCD
reader is the easiest to use and most cost effective for the typical business
user. To activate the scanner, the user simply points the scanning aperture
towards the barcode, pulls the trigger, and aims the red LED beam across
the barcode. This scanner will work at a range of contact up to 1.5” away
from the barcode.

Barcode Symbologies
Barcodes 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 barcode is dependent on the narrowest element of a
barcode (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 scanner can
read barcodes with X-dimensions as low as 5 mils (0.005 in/0.13mm).
WCS3900 Series Scanners can read the most popular barcode
symbologies including Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, Interleaved 2 of 5,
UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN/JAN-8, EAN/JAN-13, Codabar, and MSI/Plessey.
Please see test chart on pages 29-31.

Setup & Configuration
In order to configure Wasp WCS3900 Series Scanners, 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

programmed for the most common barcode configurations. Use
the setup & configuration barcodes only to customize the
WCS3900 Series Scanner settings. If you need to configure the
Scanner, the default settings will be overwritten. All the programmed
settings are stored permanently in non-volatile memory; therefore, your
configuration will be maintained even if the keyboard power to the
WCS3900 Series Scanners are removed by turning off your PC.

In order to configure Wasp WCS3900 Series Scanners,
two basic steps need to be followed:
(1) Locate the group that contains the options to be changed.
(2) Scan the barcode representing the option to be changed.
The scanner will sound two beeps.

To change Minimum/Maximum Length:
(1) Scan the Minimum or Maximum Length barcode on page 15.
(2) Scan a 2 digit value from the ASCII table on pages 31-34
(3) Scan the Minimum or Maximum Length barcode again.

Example: To have a minimum length barcode of 1, you must scan a
0 then 1, then scan the minimum barcode again. To have a maximum
length barcode of 10, you must scan a 1 then 0, then scan the
maximum barcode again.

BEEP AND DELAY

The 'Beep and Delay' configuration supports the general control options
for the WCS3900 Series Scanners. 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. If data sent by the scanner has incorrect or
missing characters, a longer intercharacter delay may solve the problem.
The intercharacter delay should be changed only if the transfer rate cannot
be maintained between the scanner and the keyboard buffer of the
computer.
Note: The default for the intercharacter delay is set to '140us' and is the
most common configuration; however, your PC may be different. When
you scan a barcode, if stray or scrambled characters appear, increase the
intercharacter delay to slow down the transfer rate.

• Caps Lock Auto (For PC XT/AT only):
In Auto 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.
• Caps Lock Off:
When the keyboard is in the unshifted state
(Caps Lock is not pressed), select “Lower Case.”
• Caps Lock On:
When the keyboard is in the shifted state (Caps Lock is on),
select “Upper Case.”

PREAMBLE/POSTAMBLE CONFIGURATION

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.
To add preamble or postamble characters, follow the steps below:
1) Scan the ‘Clear Pre/Postamble’ barcode on this page.
2) Scan the ‘Preamble’ or ‘Postamble’ barcode.
3) Use Appendix B on pages 32-35 to locate the characters you want to
add as preamble or postamble characters. Make sure that you scan
the barcode associated with each letter before preceding to the next
character. For example, to add the letter “A,” scan the barcode
corresponding to the letter “A” on page 34. The letter “A” will always
appear in your data as prefix or suffix to the barcode value.
4) Scan the corresponding 'Pre/Postamble' barcode on this page to exit
this setting.

CODE 39 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.
See page 6 for information on setting the minimum and maximum lengths.
