4. Depress and hold the trigger until either:
a. The scanner reads the bar code. The scanner beeps, the LED flashes and the
laser turns off.
b. The scanner does not read the barcode and the laser turns off.
5. Release the trigger. This causes the aim scan line to reappear. To read another
bar code in single-line mode, repeat steps 2, 3 and 4. This step can be repeated
as often as desired.
6. After a programmable time period, the omni-directional scan pattern displays. This
indicates the scanner is ready to read bar codes without use of the trigger.
7. For more information on beeper definitions, refer to Table 2-1.

Scanning in Omni Mode
In this mode, an omni scan pattern provides rapid, orientation-free scanning. This scan
pattern is used with either hands-free or hand-held scanning
To scan a bar code, direct it in toward the window of the scanner (“presentation” scanning,
see Figure 2-7 on page 2-6) or from side to side in a sweeping motion (“swipe” scanning,
see Figure 2-8 on page 2-6).
1. Ensure all cable connections are secure.
2. Insert the scanner in the optional hands-free stand by placing the front of the
scanner into the stand’s “cradle” (see Figure 2-3) or place the scanner on a flat
surface (see Figure 2-4).

Scanner gives a power-up
beep after scanning a USB
Device Type.
This power-up beep occurs
more than once.
Communication with the bus must be established
before the scanner can operate at the highest
power level.
The USB bus may put the scanner in a state where
power to the scanner is cycled on and off more than
once. This is normal and usually happens when the
PC cold boots.
Selecting Beeper Volume using Trigger
The scanner emits a short beep when it successfully reads a bar code. The volume of the
beep can be changed either by scanning the appropriate bar code in Beeper Volume on
page 4-7, or by utilizing the trigger as follows:
1. Press and hold the trigger for an extended period of time (approximately 5
seconds). The scanner cycles through three settings (Low, Medium, High) emitting
a 2-beep tone at each setting.
2. To select a particular setting, release the trigger after the desired 2-beep tone is
heard.

Aiming
Do not hold the scanner directly over the bar code. Laser light reflecting directly back into
the scanner from the bar code is known as specular reflection. This specular reflection can
make decoding difficult.
You can tilt the scanner up to 45° forward or back and achieve a successful decode (Figure
2-9). Simple practice quickly shows what tolerances to work within.

User Preferences
Introduction
You have the option to program the WPS100 scanner to perform various functions, or
activate different features. This chapter describes each user preference feature and
provides the programming bar codes necessary for selecting these features for your
WPS100 scanner. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting
Started.
Your WPS100 is shipped with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on
page 4-3 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and
miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit your requirements, programming
may not be necessary.
Features values are set by scanning single bar codes or short bar code sequences. The
settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is
powered down.
4-1
Wasp WPS100 Product Reference Guide
If you are not using a USB cable, you must select a host type (see each host chapter for
specific host information). After you hear the power-up beeps, select a host type. This only
needs to be done once, upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, all you need to do is scan the Set All Defaults
bar code on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are
indicated with asterisks (
*).
* Indicates Default
*High Frequency
Feature/Option
Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases you need only scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. For
example, if you want to set the beeper tone to high, simply scan the High Frequency
(beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-6. The scanner issues a short
high beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as specifying Serial Response Time-Out or setting Data
Transmission Formats, require that you scan several bar codes. Refer to Host Serial
Response Time-out on page 6-20 and Scan Data Options on page 8-9 for descriptions of
this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, if you make an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan
the correct parameter.

Low Power Blink
After a period of inactivity, the scanner will go into a reduced power mode. This parameter
controls how aggressively power is conserved, and therefore determines the method of
waking the scanner up.
If “Low Power - Blink Mode” is selected, then the scanner (after a period of inactivity) will
blink infrequently to save power. To restore the scanner to full power mode, the user must
simply use the scanner by presenting a barcode.
If “Motor and Laser Shut Down” is selected, then the scanner (after a period of inactivity)
will turn off the motor and laser, but leave the green Power LED lit. The user must then
depress the trigger to awaken the scanner to its full power mode.

Keyboard Wedge Interface
Introduction
This chapter covers Keyboard Wedge interface information for setting up your scanner.
This interface type is used to attach the scanner between the keyboard and host computer.
The scanner translates the bar code data into keystrokes. The host computer accepts the
keystrokes as if they originate from the keyboard.
This mode of operation allows adding bar code reading functionality to a system designed
for manual keyboard input. In this mode the keyboard keystrokes are simply passed
through.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks
(

ASCII Character Set
Note: Code 39 Full ASCII interprets the bar code special character
($ + % /) preceding a Code 39 character and assigns an ASCII
character value to the pair. For example, when Code 39 Full ASCII
is enabled and a +B is scanned, it is interpreted as b, %J as ?, and
%V as @. Scanning ABC%I outputs the keystroke equivalent of
ABC >.
