Overview

The Wasp WWS550i is a wireless barcode scanner designed for various data capture applications, offering Bluetooth connectivity for seamless integration with a range of devices. This Quick Start Guide provides essential information for unpacking, charging, setting up, and configuring the scanner.

Function Description:

The Wasp WWS550i functions as a portable barcode scanner, capable of reading and transmitting barcode data to a host device via Bluetooth. It is primarily used for inventory management, point-of-sale, asset tracking, and other data collection tasks where mobility and wireless operation are crucial. The scanner supports both Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol) and Bluetooth HID (Human Interface Device) modes, with HID being the default and recommended setting for most connections as it emulates a keyboard. This allows the scanner to input data directly into any application that accepts keyboard input, such as Notepad, MS Word, or custom inventory software. The device is designed for ease of use, with a focus on quick setup and reliable data transmission.

Important Technical Specifications:

While specific technical specifications like scan engine type, decode capabilities, battery life, and operating range are not explicitly detailed in the provided pages, the manual highlights key operational aspects. The scanner requires an initial charge of 4 hours before first use. It connects to Bluetooth-enabled devices, with a strong emphasis on supporting HID connections. The device's firmware version can be checked by scanning a specific barcode. The "Link Quality" setting affects transmission speed and security, with "Link Quality On" being the default (more secure, slower) and "Link Quality Off" offering faster but potentially less secure data transfer. The scanner stores all programmed settings permanently in non-volatile memory, meaning configurations persist even after power cycles.

Usage Features:

The WWS550i offers several user-friendly features for setup and daily operation:

  • Easy Unpacking and Charging: The guide starts with simple instructions for unpacking and charging the device.
  • Bluetooth Adapter Setup: It provides guidance on setting up a Bluetooth adapter on a PC, including troubleshooting tips if Windows does not detect the adapter or if the Bluetooth symbol is not found.
  • Connecting to Bluetooth Devices: The scanner is designed to connect to most Bluetooth devices that support HID. The manual outlines a step-by-step pairing process for both Windows XP and Windows 7, involving searching for Bluetooth devices, selecting "Wasp Barcode," and scanning specific configuration barcodes.
  • Passkey/PIN Pairing: For secure connections, the device supports passkey (PIN) pairing. The guide details how to use "Start Pin" and "Stop Pin" barcodes, along with numerical barcodes, to enter a passkey when prompted during the pairing process. This ensures that the scanner pairs only with authorized devices.
  • Factory Default Reset: A "Factory Default" barcode allows users to easily reset the scanner to its original settings, which is useful for troubleshooting or reconfiguring the device.
  • Set Connection: A "Set Connection" barcode is provided to break the current Bluetooth connection and enable the scanner to connect to a new host, facilitating switching between different devices.
  • Terminator Options: Users can configure the end-of-text message (terminator) for scanned data. Options include CR (Carriage Return), TAB, None, Space, LF (Line Feed), ESC (Escape), and CR + LF. CR is the default setting. This feature is crucial for ensuring scanned data is correctly processed by the receiving application.
  • iPad/iPhone Toggle Keyboard: A dedicated barcode allows users to display or hide the on-screen keyboard on connected iPads or iPhones, enhancing usability in mobile environments.
  • iOS Hotkey: The scanner includes an iOS hotkey feature that, when enabled, allows users to double-click the trigger to toggle the iPhone/iPad Touch Keyboard. This can be enabled or disabled using specific barcodes, with "Disable iOS Hotkey" being the default.
  • Secure Simple Pairing (SSP): For pairing without a PIN, the SSP functionality can be enabled by scanning a specific barcode before configuring Bluetooth HID.

Maintenance Features:

The manual implicitly suggests several maintenance-related practices:

  • Firmware Version Check: The "Check Version" barcode allows users to verify the current firmware, which is important for ensuring the device is up-to-date and for troubleshooting.
  • Troubleshooting Pairing Issues: The guide provides detailed troubleshooting steps for pairing failures, including repeating the pairing process, ensuring the "Stop Pin" barcode is scanned, and removing partially-installed devices from the computer's Bluetooth settings. It also advises testing the connection by scanning a barcode into a text-accepting application.
  • Configuration Persistence: All programmed settings are stored permanently in non-volatile memory, reducing the need for frequent reconfigurations.
  • Default Settings: The presence of asterisk-marked default settings for various configurations simplifies setup and ensures a baseline operational state. Users are advised to use configuration barcodes only when customization is needed, as they overwrite default settings.

In summary, the Wasp WWS550i is a versatile and user-configurable barcode scanner designed for efficient wireless data capture, with a strong emphasis on easy Bluetooth connectivity and flexible data output options.
