Factory Default

In order to configure Wasp WLR8950 Scanners, you must familiarize

yourself with the setup procedures on the following pages. The default

settings of the Wasp WLR8950 Scanners are identified on each page and

clearly marked using an asterisk (*). The default settings have been

preprogrammed for the most common barcode configurations. Use the

Setup & Configuration only to customize the Wasp WLR8950 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 Wasp WLR8950 Scanners is removed by turning

off your PC.

In order to configure Wasp WLR8950 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.

UPPER/LOWER CASE & BEEP SETTINGS

 • CapsLockAuto(ForPCXT/ATonly):

In Auto Trace 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.”
