Please Read
Note:
The Wasp WLP 4170 CCD 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.
Tech Tip
If you are unsure of the scanner configuration or have scanned the incorrect codes, please scan the default bar code on page 6. This will reset the scanner to its factory settings.

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. Wasp WLP 4170 CCD is extremely rugged since it has no moving parts. Wasp WLP 4170 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. To activate the scanner, the user simply points the scanning aperture towards the bar code, pulls the trigger, and aims the red LED beam across the bar code.

1. Turn off your computer.
2. Unplug your PC keyboard cable and plug the male end (Din 5) of the Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner directly into your PC keyboard port. Plug your keyboard cable into the other end (female Din 5) of the the Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner. If your keyboard and PC support a Din 6 connection, use the enclosed Din 5 to Din 6 converter cable to connect to the keyboard power tap cable.
3. Turn your computer on.

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. Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner can read bar codes with X-dimensions as low as 4 mils (0.10mm).
Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner can read the most popular linear bar code 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, and also the 2D bar code symbology PDF417.

In order to configure Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner, you must familiarize yourself with the setup procedures on the following pages. The default settings of Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner 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 Setup & Configuration only to customize the Wasp settings. If you need to configure Wasp WLP 4170 CCD
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 keyboard power to Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner is removed by turning off your PC.
In order to configure Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner, seven basic steps need to be followed for each programmed setting:
(1) Determine what, if any, options on EACH PAGE that you wish to change. (2) Scan the "Begin" bar code. WLP 4170 CCD Scanner will sound an ascending
tone to indicate that setup is in progress. (3) Scan the bar code representing the option to be changed. (4) Scan the bar codes representing the option values (e.g. 01, 02, 3A etc.).
These option values can be found on the inside back cover flap of this manual.
You must scan two digits for each option setting. (5) Repeat the above two steps, if necessary, to change the options in the
same group. (6) Scan the “Finish” bar code on the back cover flap to confirm your selections. (7) Scan the "Exit" bar code to exit the group currently selected.
Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner will sound a descending tone.
NOTE: Pages 6 and 7 are designed as walk through example pages. Use these pages as examples on how to change an option for the rest of the manual.

Tip: Use this configuration to restore the factory default settings if you are unsure how your scanner has been configured. The 'Factory Default' configuration is very useful when you need to reprogram your Wasp WLP 4170 CCD Scanner after the defaults have been changed. By setting the default configuration, the user knows precisely the configuration for each programmed setting.

Intercharacter Delay Settings

The 'Intercharacter Delay' configuration sets the speed at which the WLP 4170 CCD Scanner sends data. The intercharacter delay should be changed only if the transfer rate cannot be maintained between WLP 4170 CCD Scanner and the keyboard buffer of the computer.
Note: The default for the intercharacter delay is set to '2ms' and is the most common configuration; however, your PC may be different. When you scan a bar code, if some characters are missing, decrease the intercharacter delay speed to speed up the transfer rate. If some stray or scrambled characters appear on your screen, increase the intercharacter delay to slow down the transfer rate.
Note: For help in configuring these settings, consult the programming steps on page 5.

Code 128 is variable length and encodes the full 128 ASCII character set. Each character is represented by 11 modules that can be one of four bar widths. Code 128 is the most easily read code with the highest message integrity due to several separate message check routines. Code 128 is usually the best choice when implementing a new symbology.

PDF417 is a 2D variable length symbology that can encode virtually any letter, number, or character. Each character consists of 4 bars and 4 spaces in a 17 module structure. The name of the symbol is derived from the format of the code. PDF stands for "Portable Data File" and "417" is derived from the module structure. Each PDF417 symbol consists of 3 to 90 stacked rows surrounded by a quiet zone on all four sides. Each row consists of a leading quiet zone, start pattern, left row indicator character, one to thirty data characters, right row indicator character, stop pattern, and trailing quiet zone.
PDF417 supports text compaction, numeric compaction, and byte compaction that correlate the mapping between code word values and decoded data. PDF417 can accommodate up to 340 characters per square inch with a maximum data capacity of 1850 text characters.
