Long-range CCD scanner with PS/2 wedge

The Wasp WLR8950 is a corded handheld barcode scanner that connects via a PS/2 keyboard wedge cable. Its CCD engine reads one-dimensional symbologies at distances from 25 mm to 300 mm depending on code density. The unit weighs 1.05 and is rated for multiple 6-foot drops to concrete.

Suited for fixed POS stations needing 1D scanning

Retail, warehouse and point-of-sale workers who scan UPC, EAN, Code 39, Code 128 or Interleaved 2 of 5 at arm's length will benefit from the 230 to 450 scans per second rate. It is not for users who need two-dimensional code capture, wireless freedom or a USB-native connection.

PS/2 keyboard wedge interface decides fit

The only host interface supplied is PS/2, so the host system must present a PS/2 keyboard port or a compatible adapter. If the target terminal lacks PS/2, this scanner cannot be connected.

Questions about this item

How much power does the WLR8950 draw when scanning continuously all day?

The scanner draws power directly from the PS/2 port, so no external supply is needed and heat output remains low during extended use.

What must my PC already have for this PS/2 model to work?

Your computer needs an available PS/2 keyboard port; the included wedge cable plugs in-line with your keyboard.

Will the 3 mil resolution read the same 15.6 mil EAN labels my older scanner handles?

Yes, it reads 15.6 mil EAN codes from 25 to 300 mm, covering the range your existing labels require.
