Getting Started

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. Multi-line rastering allows the scanner to capture stacked RSS codes and increases angular tolerances, minimizing product orientation and hand movements.
Multi-line rastering also allows the scanner to read poor quality bar codes. For more information about scanning modes and stacked RSS codes, see Scan Pattern on page 4-7 and RSS on page B-4.
The scanner does not currently support PDF217 bar codes and its variants.This scanner supports the following interfaces:

• Keyboard Wedge connection to a host. The host interprets scanned data as keystrokes. This interface supports the following international keyboards (for Windows® environment): North America, German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Japanese.
• USB connection to a host. The scanner autodetects a USB host and defaults to the HID keyboard interface type. Select other USB interface types by scanning programming bar code menus.This interface supports the following international keyboards (for Windows® environment): North America, German, French, French Canadian, Spanish, Italian, Swedish, UK English, Portuguese-Brazilian, and Japanese.

Unpacking
Remove the scanner from its packing and inspect it for damage. If the scanner was damaged in transit, call Wasp Technologies at the telephone number listed on page xvi. KEEP THE PACKING. It is the approved shipping container and should be used if the equipment ever needs to be return for servicing.

Setting Up the Scanner
Installing the Interface Cable
To connect the interface cable:

1. Insert the interface cable’s modular connector clip into the cable interface port on the bottom of the scanner handle. (See Figure 1-2.).
2. Gently tug the cable to ensure the connector is properly secured.
3. Connect the other end of the interface cable to the host. (See the specific host chapter for information on host connections.)

Different cables are required for different hosts. The connectors illustrated in each host chapter are examples only. Actual connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same.

Scanning

Introduction
This chapter provides beeper and LED definitions, techniques involved in scanning bar codes, general instructions and tips about scanning, and decode zone diagrams.

Beeper Definitions
The scanner issues different beep sequences and patterns to indicate status. Tab l e 2-1 defines beep sequences that occur during both normal scanning and while programming the scanner.
Table 2-1. Beeper Definitions

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. The data is ignored. This occurs if a unit is not properly configured. Check option setting.
5 low beeps| Conversion or format error.
Parameter Menu Scanning
Short high beeps| Correct entry scanned or correct menu sequence performed.
Low/high beeps| Input error, incorrect bar code or “Cancel” scanned, wrong entry, incorrect bar code programming sequence; remain in program mode.
High/low beeps| Keyboard parameter selected. Enter value using bar code keypad.
High/low/high/low beeps| Successful program exit with change in the parameter setting.
Low/high/low/high beeps| Out of host parameter storage space. Scan Default Parameters on page 4-5.
Code 39 Buffering
High/low beeps| New Code 39 data was entered into the buffer.
3 Beeps – long high beeps| Code 39 buffer is full.
Low/high/low beeps| The Code 39 buffer was erased or there was an attempt to clear or transmit an empty buffer.
Low/high beeps| A successful transmission of buffered data.
Host Specific
USB only
4 short high beeps| Scanner has not completed initialization. Wait several seconds and scan again.
Scanner gives a power-up beep after scanning a USB Device Type.| Communication with the bus must be established before the scanner can operate at the highest power level.
This power-up beep occurs more than once.| 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 host cold boots.

LED Definitions
In addition to beeper sequences, the scanner communicates with the user using a two-color LED display. Table 2-2 defines LED colors that display during scanning.
Table 2-2. Standard LED Definitions

scan.
Green| A bar code was successfully decoded.

Table 2-2. Standard LED Definitions

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.
4. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green. (For more information about beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.)

Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected (see Scan Line Width on page 48).
A full scan line width is the default. Medium and short scan line widths are useful for scanning menus or pick-lists.

Aiming

On a typical UPC 100% hold the scanner between contact and 19 inches from the symbol (see Decode Zone on page 210).

When scanning using a single-line scan mode, ensure the scan line crosses every bar and space of the symbol.When scanning using a multi- line scan mode, at least one scan line must cross every bar and space of the symbol.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. Scan symbols with smaller bars or elements (mil size) closer to the scanner, and those with larger bars or elements (mil size) farther from the scanner.
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.
Scan line lengths vary depending on the scan line width selected. A full scan line width is the default. Medium and short scan line widths are useful for scanning menus or pick-lists.
For more information about scan line widths and scanning modes, see page 4-7 and page 4-8, respectively.
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.

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

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.”

3. Use the WLS 9500 Hands Free Stand’s adjustment knobs to adjust the height and angle of the scanner.

4. Present the bar code.
   When the bar code is in view, the scanner emits a full scan line. After 3 minutes, the scanner automatically switches to a reduced scan line. After 1 hour, the scanner automatically switches to blink mode.

5. Upon successful decode, the scanner beeps and the LED turns green. For more information about beeper and LED definitions, see Table 2-1 and Table 2-2.

Decode Zone
Note: Typical performance at 73° F (23° C) on high quality symbols in normal room light.

User Preferences

Introduction
If desired, program the 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.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the User Preferences Default Table on page 4-4 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming may not be necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to their default values, see Default Parameters on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to set the beeper tone to high, scan the High Frequency (beeper tone) bar code listed under Beeper Tone on page 4-6. The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
Other parameters, such as Serial Response Time-Out or Data Transmission Formats, require scanning several bar codes. See these parameter descriptions for this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, when an error is made during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

User Preferences Parameter Defaults
Tab l e 4-1 lists the defaults for user preferences parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the User Preferences section beginning on page 4-5.
See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
Table 4-1. User Preferences Default Table

User Preferences
Set Default Parameter| Restore Defaults| 4-5
Beeper Tone| Medium| 4-6
Beeper Volume| High| 4-6
Power Mode| Continuous On| 4-7
Scan Pattern| Multi-line Always Raster| 4-7
Scan Line Width| Full Width| 4-8
Laser On Time| 3.0 Sec| 4-8
Beep After Good Decode| Enable| 4-9

User Preferences
Default Parameters
The scanner can be reset to two types of defaults: factory defaults or custom defaults. Scan the appropriate bar code below to reset the scanner to its default settings and/or set the scanner’s current settings as the custom default.

• Restore Defaults – Resets all default parameters as follows:
• If custom default values were configured (see Write to Custom Defaults), the custom default values are set for all parameters each time the Restore Defaults bar code below is scanned.
• If no custom default values were configured, the factory default values are set for all parameters each time the Restore Defaults bar code below is scanned. (For factory default values, see Table A-1 beginning on page A-1.)
• Set Factory Defaults – Scan the Set Factory Defaults bar code below to eliminate all custom default values and set the scanner to factory default values. (For factory default values, see Table A-1 beginning on page A-1.)
• Write to Custom Defaults – Custom default parameters can be configured to set unique default values for all parameters. After changing all parameters to the desired default values, scan the Write to Custom Defaults bar code below to configure custom defaults.

Beeper Tone
To select a decode beep frequency (tone), scan the Low Frequency, Medium Frequency, or High Frequency bar code.

Beeper Volume
To select a beeper volume, scan the Low Vo l ume , Medium Vo l ume , or High Vo l ume bar code.

Power Mode
This parameter determines whether or not power remains on after a decode attempt. When in reduced power mode, the scanner enters into a low power consumption mode to preserve battery life after each decode attempt. When in continuous power mode, power remains on after each decode attempt.

Scan Pattern
This parameter determines the pattern (mode) of scanning. Scan the appropriate bar code below to set the scanning mode.

• Single-line Only – Scan Single-line Only for a single-line scan mode. The laser has no up and down scan line movement (no raster). (For an example of a single-line scan, see Figure 2-3 on page 2-5.)
• Multi-line Smart Raster – Scan Multi-line Smart Raster for a scan line begins as a single line and moves up and down (rasters) when a partial scan of a bar code is detected, or no bar code is decoded 500 ms after the trigger is pulled. Upon seeing a stacked RSS code, the scanner immediately rasters. (For an example of a multiline scan, see Figure 2-4 on page 2-6.)
• Multi-line Always Raster (default) – Scan Multi-line Always Raster for rastering (up and down scan line movement) to begin immediately.

Scan Line Width
Scan a bar code below to set the scan line width.

Laser On Time
This parameter sets the maximum time that decode processing continues during a scan attempt. It is programmable in 0.1 second increments from 0.5 to 9.9 seconds. The default Laser On Time is 3.0 seconds.
To set a Laser On Time, scan the bar code below. Next, scan two numeric bar codes beginning on page C-1 in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes that correspond to the desired on time. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. For example, to set an On Time of 0.5 seconds, scan the bar code below, then scan the “0” and “5” bar codes. If an error is made, or the selection needs to be changed, scan Cancel on page C-4.

Beep After Good Decode
Scan a bar code below to select whether or not the scanner beeps after a good decode. If Do Not Beep After Good Decode is selected, the beeper still operates during parameter menu scanning and indicates error conditions.

Keyboard Wedge Interface

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.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Connecting a Keyboard Wedge Interface To connect the Keyboard Wedge interface Y-cable:
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 5-1 are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same.

1. Turn off the host and unplug the keyboard connector.
2. Attach the modular connector of the Y-cable to the cable interface port on the scanner. (See Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-4.)
3. Connect the round male DIN host connector of the Y-cable to the keyboard port on the host device.
4. Connect the round female DIN keyboard connector of the Y-cable to the keyboard connector.
5. If needed, attach the optional power supply to the connector in the middle of the Y-cable.
6. Ensure that all connections are secure.
7. Turn on the host system.
8. Select the Keyboard Wedge host type by scanning the appropriate bar code from Keyboard Wedge Host Parameters on page 5-5.
9. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.

Keyboard Wedge Parameter Defaults
Tab l e 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.

Keyboard Wedge Host Parameters
Keyboard Wedge Host Types
Select the Keyboard Wedge host by scanning one of the bar codes below. 1User selection is required to configure this interface and this is the most common selection.
Keyboard Wedge Country Types (Country Codes)
Scan the bar code corresponding to the keyboard type. If the keyboard type is not listed, see Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation on page 5-9.

Ignore Unknown Characters
Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. 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. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character, then the scanner issues an error beep.

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.

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.

Alternate Numeric Keypad Emulation
This allows emulation of most other country keyboard types not listed in Keyboard Wedge Country Types (Country Codes) on page 5-6 in a Microsoft® operating system environment.

Caps Lock On
When enabled, the scanner emulates keystrokes as if the Caps Lock key is always pressed. Note that if both Caps Lock On and Caps Lock Override are enabled, Caps Lock Override takes precedence

Caps Lock Override
When enabled, on AT or AT Notebook hosts, the keyboard ignores the state of the Caps Lock key. Therefore, an ‘A’ in the bar code is sent as an ‘A’ no matter what the state of the keyboard’s Caps Lock key.
Note that if both Caps Lock On and Caps Lock Override are enabled, Caps Lock Override takes precedence.

Convert Wedge Data
When enabled, the scanner will convert all bar code data to the selected case.

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.

FN1 Substitution
When enabled, the scanner replaces FN1 characters in an EAN128 bar code with a keystroke chosen by the user (see FN1 Substitution Values on page 8-8).

Send Make and Break
When enabled, the scan codes for releasing a key are not sent.

Keyboard Maps
The following keyboard maps are provided for prefix/suffix keystroke parameters. To program the prefix/suffix values, see the bar codes on page 8-5.

ASCII Character Set for Keyboard Wedge
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 >.

USB Interface

Introduction
This chapter covers the connection and setup of the scanner to a USB host. The scanner attaches directly to a USB host, or a powered USB hub, and is powered by it. No additional power supply is required.
Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Connecting a USB Interface

The scanner connects with USB capable hosts including:

• Desktop PCs and Notebooks
• Apple™ iMac, G4, iBooks (North America only)
• Sun, IBM, and other network computers that support more than one keyboard.

The following operating systems support the scanner through USB:

• Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP
• MacOS 8.5 and above

The scanner will also interface with other USB hosts which support USB Human Interface Devices (HID). For more information on USB technology, hosts, and peripheral devices, visit www.waspbarcode.com.

To set up the scanner:
Interface cables vary depending on configuration. The connectors illustrated in Figure 6-1are examples only. The connectors may be different than those illustrated, but the steps to connect the scanner remain the same.

1. Attach the modular connector of the USB interface cable to the cable interface port on the scanner (see Installing the Interface Cable on page 1-4).
2. Plug the series A connector in the USB host or hub.
3. Select the USB device type by scanning the appropriate bar code from USB Device Type on page 6-5.
4. On first installation when using Windows, the software prompts to select or install the Human Interface Device driver. To install this driver, provided by Windows, click Next through all the choices and click Finished on the last choice. The scanner powers up during this installation.
5. To modify any other parameter options, scan the appropriate bar codes in this chapter.

If problems occur with the system, see Troubleshooting on page 3-3.

USB Parameter Defaults
Table 6-1 lists the defaults for USB host parameters. If any option needs to be changed, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Parameter Descriptions section beginning on page 6-5.
See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.

USB Host Parameters
USB Device Type
Select the desired USB device type.
When changing USB Device Types, the scanner automatically restarts. The scanner issues the standard startup beep sequences.

USB Country Keyboard Types (Country Codes)
Scan the bar code corresponding to the keyboard type. This setting applies only to the USB HID Keyboard Emulation device.
When changing USB country keyboard types the scanner automatically resets. The scanner issues the standard startup beep sequences.

USB Keystroke Delay
This parameter sets the delay, in milliseconds, between emulated keystrokes. Scan a bar code below to increase the delay when hosts require a slower transmission of data.

USB CAPS Lock Override
This option applies only to the HID Keyboard Emulation device. When enabled, the case of the data is preserved regardless of the state of the caps lock key. This setting is always enabled for the “Japanese, Windows (ASCII)” keyboard type and can not be disabled.

USB Ignore Unknown Characters
This option applies only to the HID Keyboard Emulation device and IBM device. Unknown characters are characters the host does not recognize. When Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, all bar code data is sent except for unknown characters, and no error beeps sound. When Do Not Send Bar Codes With Unknown Characters is selected, bar code data is sent up to the first unknown character, then the scanner issues an error beep.

Emulate Keypad
When enabled, all characters are sent as ASCII sequences over the numeric keypad. For example ASCII A would be sent as “ALT make” 0 6 5 “ALT Break.”

USB Keyboard FN 1 Substitution
This option applies only to the USB HID Keyboard Emulation device. When enabled, this allows replacement of any FN 1 characters in an EAN 128 bar code with a Key Category and value chosen by the user (see FN1 Substitution Values on page 13-8 to set the Key Category and Key Value). Function Key Mapping
ASCII values under 32 are normally sent as a control-key sequences (see Table 6-2 on page 6-12). 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. Simulated Caps Lock
When enabled, the scanner will invert upper and lower case characters on the scanner bar code as if the Caps Lock state is enabled on the keyboard. This inversion is done regardless of the current state of the keyboard’s Caps Lock state. Convert Case
When enabled, the scanner will convert all bar code data to the selected case.

Symbologies

Introduction
This chapter describes symbology features and provides the programming bar codes for selecting these features. Before programming, follow the instructions in Chapter 1, Getting Started.
The scanner is shipped with the settings shown in the Symbology Parameter Defaults on page 7-6 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan the appropriate default bar code on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).![WASP TECHNOLOGIES WLS 9500 Barcode Scanners

• BAR CODE 38](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/WASP- TECHNOLOGIES-WLS-9500-Barcode-Scanners-BAR-CODE-38.png) Scanning Sequence Examples
  In most cases, scanning one bar code sets the parameter value. For example, to transmit bar code data without the UPCA check digit, simply scan the Do Not Transmit UPC-A Check Digit bar code under Transmit UPC-A Check Digit on page 7-13.
  The scanner issues a fast warble beep and the LED turns green, signifying a successful parameter entry.
  Other parameters, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, require scanning several bar codes. See the individual parameter, such as Set Length(s) for D 2 of 5, for this procedure.
  Errors While Scanning
  Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

Symbology Parameter Defaults
Tab l e 7-1 lists the defaults for all symbologies parameters. To change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Symbologies Parameters section beginning on 7-9.
See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies and miscellaneous default parameters.

Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals
Supplementals are bar codes appended according to specific format conventions (e.g., UPC A+2, UPC E+2, EAN 13+2). Six options are available.

• If Decode UPC/EAN/JAN Only With Supplementals is selected, UPC/EAN symbols without supplementals are not decoded.
• If Ignore Supplementals is selected, and the scanner is presented with a UPC/EAN/JAN with a supplemental, the UPC/EAN/JAN is decoded and the supplemental bar code is ignored.
• An Autodiscriminate Option is also available. If this option is selected, choose an appropriate UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy value from the next page. A value of 5 or more is recommended.
• Select Enable 378/379 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’ or ‘379’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN/JAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon decode.
• Select Enable 978 Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘978’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon their decode.
• Select Enable Smart Supplemental Mode to delay only EAN-13/JAN-13 bar codes starting with a ‘378’, ‘379’, or ‘978’ prefix by the supplemental search process. All other UPC/EAN bar codes are exempted from the search and are reported instantly upon their decode.

To minimize the risk of invalid data transmission, select either to decode or ignore supplemental characters.

UPC/EAN/JAN Supplemental Redundancy
With Autodiscriminate UPC/EAN/JAN Supplementals selected, this option adjusts the number of times a symbol without supplementals is decoded before transmission. The range is from two to thirty times. Five or above is recommended when decoding a mix of UPC/EAN symbols with and without supplementals, and the autodiscriminate option is selected. The default is set at 7.
Scan the bar code below to set a decode redundancy value. Next, scan two numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. Single digit numbers must have a leading zero. To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.

Transmit UPC-A Check Digit
The check digit is the last character of the symbol used to verify the integrity of the data. Scan the appropriate bar code below to transmit the bar code data with or without the UPC-A check digit. It is always verified to guarantee the integrity of the data.

Transmit UPC-E Check Digit
The check digit is the last character of the symbol used to verify the integrity of the data. Scan the appropriate bar code below to transmit the bar code data with or without the UPC-E check digit. It is always verified to guarantee the integrity of the data.

Transmit UPC-E1 Check Digit
The check digit is the last character of the symbol used to verify the integrity of the data. Scan the appropriate bar code below to transmit the bar code data with or without the UPC-E1 check digit. It is always verified to guarantee the integrity of the data.

UPC-A Preamble
Preamble characters are part of the UPC symbol consisting of Country Code and System Character. Three options are given for transmitting UPC-A preamble to the host device: transmit System Character only, transmit System Character and Country Code (“0” for USA), and no preamble transmitted. Scan a bar code below to match the host system.

UPC-E Preamble
Preamble characters are part of the UPC symbol consisting of Country Code and System Character. Three options are given for transmitting UPC-E preamble to the host device: transmit System Character only, transmit System Character and Country Code (“0” for USA), and no preamble transmitted. Scan a bar code below to match the host system.

UPC-E1 Preamble
Preamble characters are part of the UPC symbol consisting of Country Code and System Character. Three options are given for transmitting UPC-E1 preamble to the host device: transmit System Character only, transmit System Character and Country Code (“0” for USA), and no preamble transmitted. Scan a bar code below to match the host system.

Convert UPC-E to UPC-A
Enable this to convert UPC-E (zero suppressed) decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, the data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit).
When disabled, UPC-E decoded data is transmitted as UPC-E data, without conversion.

Convert UPC-E1 to UPC-A
Enable this to convert UPC-E1 decoded data to UPC-A format before transmission. After conversion, the data follows UPC-A format and is affected by UPC-A programming selections (e.g., Preamble, Check Digit).
When disabled, UPC-E1 decoded data is transmitted as UPC-E1 data, without conversion.

EAN-8/JAN-8 Extend
When enabled, this parameter adds five leading zeros to decoded EAN-8 symbols to make them compatible in format to EAN-13 symbols.
When disabled, EAN-8 symbols are transmitted as is.

UCC Coupon Extended Code
When enabled, this parameter decodes UPCA bar codes starting with digit ‘5’, EAN-13 bar codes starting with digit ‘99’, and UPCA/EAN-128 Coupon Codes. UPCA, EAN-13 and EAN-128 must be enabled to scan all types of Coupon Codes. Use the Decode UPC/EAN Supplemental Redundancy parameter to control autodiscrimination of the EAN128 (right half) of a coupon code.
Code 128
Enable/Disable Code 128
To enable or disable Code 128, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Enable/Disable UCC/EAN-128
To enable or disable UCC/EAN-128, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Enable/Disable ISBT 128
ISBT 128 is a variant of Code 128 used in the blood bank industry. Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable ISBT 128. If necessary, the host must perform concatenation of the ISBT data.

Code 39
Enable/Disable Code 39
To enable or disable Code 39, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Enable/Disable Trioptic Code 39
Trioptic Code 39 is a variant of Code 39 used in the marking of computer tape cartridges. Trioptic Code 39 symbols always contain six characters. To enable or disable Trioptic Code 39, scan the appropriate bar code below. Trioptic Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII cannot be enabled simultaneously.

Convert Code 39 to Code 32
Code 32 is a variant of Code 39 used by the Italian pharmaceutical industry. Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable converting Code 39 to Code 32.
Code 39 must be enabled for this parameter to function. Code 32 Prefix
Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable adding the prefix character “A” to all Code 32 bar codes.
Convert Code 39 to Code 32 must be enabled for this parameter to function.

Set Lengths for Code 39
he length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 39 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range. If Code 39 Full ASCII is enabled, Length Within a Range or Any Length are the preferred options.
When setting lengths for different bar code types by scanning single digit numbers, single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero.

• One Discrete Length – Select this option to decode only Code 39 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Code 39 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 39 – One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Two D i scre t e Leng t hs – Select this option to decode only Code 39 symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those Code 39 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select Code 39 – Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Length Within Range – Select this option to decode a Code 39 symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode Code 39 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan Code 39 – Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Any Length – Select this option to decode Code 39 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner capability.

Code 39 Check Digit Verification
When this feature is enabled, the scanner checks the integrity of all Code 39 symbols to verify that the data complies with specified check digit algorithm. Only Code 39 symbols which include a modulo 43 check digit are decoded. Enable this feature if the Code 39 symbols contain a Modulo 43 check digit.

Transmit Code 39 Check Digit
Scan the appropriate bar code below to transmit Code 39 data with or without the check digit. Code 39 Check Digit Verification must be enabled for this parameter to function.

Code 39 Full ASCII Conversion
Code 39 Full ASCII is a variant of Code 39 which pairs characters to encode the full ASCII character set. To enable or disable Code 39 Full ASCII, scan the appropriate bar code below. Trioptic Code 39 and Code 39 Full ASCII cannot be enabled simultaneously.
Code 39 Full ASCII to Full ASCII Correlation is host-dependent and is described in the ASCII Character Set table for the appropriate interface. See ASCII Character Set for Keyboard Wedge on page 5-13, ASCII Character Set for RS-232 on page 6-18 and ASCII Character Set for USB on page 6-12 for the appropriate interface.

Code 39 Buffering (Scan & Store)
This feature allows the scanner to accumulate data from multiple Code 39 symbols.
Selecting the Scan and Store option (Buffer Code 39) temporarily buffers all Code 39 symbols having a leading space as a first character for later transmission. The leading space is not buffered.
Decode of a valid Code 39 symbol with no leading space causes transmission in sequence of all buffered data in a first in first-out format, plus transmission of the “triggering” symbol. See the following pages for further details.
When the Do Not Buffer Code 39 option is selected, all decoded Code 39 symbols are transmitted immediately without being stored in the buffer.
This feature affects Code 39 only. If selecting Buffer Code 39, we recommend configuring the scanner to decode Code 39 symbology only.While there is data in the transmission buffer, selecting Do Not Buffer Code 39 is not allowed. The buffer holds 200 bytes of information.
To disable Code 39 buffering when there is data in the transmission buffer, first force the buffer transmission (see Transmit Buffer on page 7-29) or clear the buffer.

Buffer Data
To buffer data, Code 39 buffering must be enabled and a Code 39 symbol must be read with a space immediately following the start pattern.

• Unless the data overflows the transmission buffer, the scanner issues a low/high beep to indicate successful decode and buffering. (For overflow conditions, see Overfilling Transmission Buffer.)
• The scanner adds the decoded data excluding the leading space to the transmission buffer.
• No transmission occurs.

Clear Transmission Buffer
To clear the transmission buffer, scan the Clear Buffer bar code below, which contains only a start character, a dash (minus), and a stop character.

• The scanner issues a short high/low/high beep.
• The scanner erases the transmission buffer.
• No transmission occurs.

Because the Clear Buffer contains only the dash (minus) character, set the Code 39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code.
Transmit Buffer
There are two methods to transmit the Code 39 buffer.

1. Scan the Transmit Buffer bar code below which contains only a start character, a plus (+), and a stop character.
   • The scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
   • The scanner issues a low/high beep.

2. Scan a Code 39 bar code with a leading character other than a space.
   • The scanner appends new decode data to buffered data.
   • The scanner transmits and clears the buffer.
   • The scanner signals that the buffer was transmitted with a low/high beep.
   • Scanner transmits and clears the buffer.

Because the Transmit Buffer contains only a plus (+) character, set the Code 39 length to include length 1 before scanning this bar code.
Overfilling Transmission Buffer
The Code 39 buffer holds 200 characters. If the symbol just read results in an overflow of the transmission buffer:

• The scanner indicates that the symbol was rejected by issuing three long, high beeps.
• No transmission occurs. The data in the buffer is not affected.

Attempt to Transmit an Empty Buffer
If the symbol just read was the Transmit Buffer symbol and the Code 39 buffer is empty:

• A short low/high/low beep signals that the buffer is empty.
• No transmission occurs.
• The buffer remains empty.

Code 93
Enable/Disable Code 93
To enable or disable Code 93, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Set Lengths for Code 93
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for Code 93 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.

• One Discrete Length – Select this option to decode only Code 93 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only Code 93 symbols with 14 characters, scan Code 93 – One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Two D i scre t e Leng t hs – Select this option to decode only Code 93 symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes.

Enable/Disable Interleaved 2 of 5
To enable or disable Interleaved 2 of 5, scan the appropriate bar code below, and select an Interleaved 2 of 5 length from the following pages.

Set Lengths for Interleaved 2 of 5
The length of a code refers to the number of characters (i.e., human readable characters), including check digit(s) the code contains. Set lengths for I 2 of 5 to any length, one or two discrete lengths, or lengths within a specific range.

• One Discrete Length – Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing a selected length. Select the length using the numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols with 14 characters, scan I 2 of 5 – One Discrete Length, then scan 1 followed by 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Two D i scre t e Leng t hs – Select this option to decode only I 2 of 5 symbols containing either of two selected lengths. Select lengths using the numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode only those I 2 of 5 symbols containing either 2 or 14 characters, select I 2 of 5 – Two Discrete Lengths, then scan 0, 2, 1, and then 4. To correct an error or to change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Length Within Range – Select this option to decode an I 2 of 5 symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan I 2 of 5 – Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Any Length – Scan this option to decode I 2 of 5 symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner capability.

Due to the construction of the I 2 of 5 symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code. To prevent this, select specific lengths (I 2 of 5 – One Discrete Length – Two Discrete Lengths) for I 2 of 5 applications.

I 2 of 5 Check Digit Verification
When this feature is enabled, the scanner checks the integrity of all I 2 of 5 symbols to verify the data complies with either the specified Uniform Symbology Specification (USS), or the Optical Product Code Council (OPCC) check digit algorithm.

Transmit I 2 of 5 Check Digit
Scan the appropriate bar code below to transmit I 2 of 5 data with or without the check digit.

Convert I 2 of 5 to EAN-13
Enable this parameter to convert 14-character I 2 of 5 codes to EAN-13, and transmit to the host as EAN-13. To accomplish this, the I 2 of 5 code must be enabled, and the code must have a leading zero and a valid EAN-13 check digit.

Discrete 2 of 5 (DTF)
Enable/Disable Discrete 2 of 5
To enable or disable Discrete 2 of 5, scan the appropriate bar code below.

Set Lengths for Discrete 2 of 5

• Length Within Range – Select this option to decode a MSI symbol with a specific length range. Select lengths using numeric bar codes in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes. For example, to decode MSI symbols containing between 4 and 12 characters, first scan MSI – Length Within Range. Then scan 0, 4, 1, and 2 (single digit numbers must always be preceded by a leading zero). To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
• Any Length – Scan this option to decode MSI symbols containing any number of characters within the scanner capability.

Due to the construction of the MSI symbology, it is possible for a scan line covering only a portion of the code to be interpreted as a complete scan, yielding less data than is encoded in the bar code.
To prevent this, select specific lengths (MSI – One Discrete Length – Two Discrete Lengths) for MSI applications.

MSI Check Digits
With MSI symbols, one check digit is mandatory and always verified by the reader. The second check digit is optional.
If the MSI codes include two check digits, scan the Two MSI Check Digits bar code to enable verification of the second check digit.
See MSI Check Digit Algorithm on page 7-47 for the selection of second digit algorithms.

Transmit MSI Check Digit(s)
Scan the appropriate bar code below to transmit MSI data with or without the check digit.

MSI Check Digit Algorithm
Two algorithms are possible for the verification of the second MSI check digit. Select the bar code below corresponding to the algorithm used to encode your check digit.

RSS (Reduced Space Symbology)
The variants of RSS are RSS 14, RSS Expanded and RSS Limited. RSS 14 and RSS Expanded include stacked versions.
Scan the appropriate bar code below to enable or disable each variant of RSS.

Convert RSS to UPC/EAN
This parameter only applies to RSS-14 and RSS Limited symbols not decoded as part of a Composite symbol. Enable this to strip the leading ‘010’ from RSS-14 and RSS Limited symbols encoding a single zero as the first digit, and report the bar code as EAN-13.
For bar codes beginning with two or more zeros but not six zeros, this parameter strips the leading ‘0100’ and reports the bar code as UPC-A. The UPC-A Preamble parameter that transmits the system character and country code applies to converted bar codes. Note that neither the system character nor the check digit can be stripped.

Symbology – Specific Security Levels
Redundancy Level
The scanner offers four levels of decode redundancy. Select higher redundancy levels for decreasing levels of bar code quality. As redundancy levels increase, the scanner’s aggressiveness decreases.
Select the redundancy level appropriate for the bar code quality.
Redundancy Level 1
The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded:

Redundancy Level 2
The following code types must be successfully read twice before being decoded:

Redundancy Level 3
Code types other than the following must be successfully read twice before being decoded. The following codes must be read three times:

Redundancy Level 4
The following code types must be successfully read three times before being decoded:

Security Level
The scanner offers four levels of decode security for delta bar codes, which include the Code 128 family, UPC/EAN, and Code 93. Select increasing levels of security for decreasing levels of bar code quality. There is an inverse relationship between security and scanner aggressiveness, so choose only that level of security necessary for any given application.

• Security Level 0: This default setting allows the scanner to operate in its most aggressive state, while providing sufficient security in decoding most “in-spec” bar codes.
• Security Level 1: Select this option if misdecodes occur. This security level should eliminate most misdecodes.
• Security Level 2: Select this option if Security level 1 fails to eliminate misdecodes.
• Security Level 3: If Security Level 2 was selected and misdecodes still occur, select this security level. Be advised, selecting this option is an extreme measure against mis-decoding severely out of spec bar codes.
  Selecting this level of security significantly impairs the decoding ability of the scanner. If this level of security is necessary, try to improve the quality of the bar codes.

Bi-directional Redundancy
Enable Bi-directional Redundancy to add security to linear code type security levels. When enabled, a bar code must be successfully scanned in both directions (forward and reverse) before reporting a good decode.

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.

Miscellaneous Scanner Options

Introduction
This chapter includes commonly used bar codes to customize how data is transmitted to the host device.
The scanner ships with the settings shown in the Miscellaneous Scanner Options Default Table on page 8-4 (also see Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all host device and miscellaneous scanner defaults). If the default values suit requirements, programming is not necessary.
To set feature values, scan a single bar code or a short bar code sequence. The settings are stored in non-volatile memory and are preserved even when the scanner is powered down.
If not using a Synapse or USB cable, select a host type (see each host chapter for specific host information) after the power-up beeps sound. This is only necessary upon the first power-up when connected to a new host.
To return all features to default values, scan a default bar code in Default Parameters on page 4-5. Throughout the programming bar code menus, default values are indicated with asterisks (*).

Scanning Sequence Examples
In most cases, scan one bar code to set a specific parameter value. Other parameters, such as Prefix Value, require scanning several bar codes. See each parameter for descriptions of this procedure.
Errors While Scanning
Unless otherwise specified, to correct an error during a scanning sequence, just re-scan the correct parameter.

Miscellaneous Parameter Defaults
Table 8-1 lists the defaults for miscellaneous scanner options parameters. If you wish to change any option, scan the appropriate bar code(s) provided in the Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters section beginning on page 8-5.
See Appendix A, Standard Default Parameters for all user preferences, hosts, symbologies, and miscellaneous default parameters.
Table 8-1. Miscellaneous Scanner Options Default Table

Miscellaneous Scanner Parameters
Transmit Code ID Character
A Code ID character identifies the code type of a scanned bar code. This may be useful when the scanner is decoding more than one code type. In addition to any single character prefix already selected, the Code ID character is inserted between the prefix and the decoded symbol.
Select no Code ID character, a Symbol Code ID character, or an AIM Code ID character. For Code ID Characters, see Symbol Code Identifiers on page E-3 and AIM Code Identifiers on page E-4.![WASP TECHNOLOGIES WLS 9500 Barcode Scanners

• BAR CODE 101](https://manuals.plus/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/WASP- TECHNOLOGIES-WLS-9500-Barcode-Scanners-BAR-CODE-101.png)

Prefix/Suffix Values
A prefix and/or one or two suffixes can be appended to scan data for use in data editing. To set a value for a prefix or suffix, scan a four-digit number (i.e., four bar codes from Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes) that corresponds to that value. See Table D-1 on page D-1 for the four-digit codes.
When using host commands to set the prefix or suffix, set the key category parameter to 1, then set the 3-digit decimal value. See Table D-1 on page D-1 for the four-digit codes.
To correct an error or change a selection, scan Cancel on page C-4.
To use Prefix/Suffix values, first set the Scan Data Transmission Format on page 8-6.

Scan Data Transmission Format
To change the scan data format, scan Scan Options and one of the following four bar codes corresponding to the desired format:

• Data As Is
• .

Scan Enter on page 8-7 to complete the change. To set values for the prefix and/or suffix, see Prefix/Suffix Values on page 8-5. Scan Data Format Cancel on page 8-7 to cancel the change.
If a carriage return/enter is required after each scanned bar code, scan the following bar codes in order:

1. Scan Options
3. Enter (on page 8-7).

FN1 Substitution Values
The Wedge and USB HID Keyboard hosts support an FN1 substitution feature. When enabled any FN1 character (0x1b) in an EAN128 bar code is substituted with a value. This value defaults to 7013 (Enter Key).
To select an FN1 substitution value via bar code menus:

1. Scan the bar code below.
2. Look up the keystroke desired for FN1 Substitution in the ASCII Value Standard Default Parameters Table on page D-1 for the currently installed host interface.
3. Enter the 4-digit substitution value by scanning each digit in Appendix C, Numeric Bar Codes.

To correct an error or change the selection, scan Cancel.
To enable FN1 substitution for keyboard wedge, scan the Enable FN1 Substitution bar code on page page 5-11.
To enable FN1 Substitution for USB HID keyboard, scan the Enable FN1 Substitution bar code on page page 6-10.

Transmit “No Read” Message
Scan a bar code below to select whether or not to transmit a No Read message. When enabled, the characters NR are transmitted when a bar code is not decoded. When disabled, if a symbol does not decode, nothing is sent to the host.
