Wasp 633808121679 CCD Long-Range Barcode Scanner with PS2
Overview
The Wasp 633808121679 (WLR8950) is a CCD-based long-range barcode scanner with PS2 keyboard interface. It reads 1D barcodes at extended working distances, making it suitable for warehouse receiving areas, dock environments, and retail operations where scanning speed and distance matter. CCD (charge-coupled device) imaging captures barcode data optically without moving parts, delivering consistent decode performance on standard linear codes across a wider operational range than contact or short-range scanners. The PS2 connection integrates directly into POS terminals, warehouse management systems, and legacy computing environments that rely on keyboard-wedge input.
Compatibility
The PS2 interface connects to any computer or terminal equipped with a PS/2 keyboard port. This includes older POS systems, WMS workstations, and industrial computers that accept standard keyboard input. The scanner emulates a keyboard device, sending barcode data as character sequences without requiring dedicated driver software. Verify your endpoint has an active PS/2 port before deployment — modern systems with USB-only ports require a PS/2-to-USB adapter.
Installation Notes
Mount the scanner at a fixed angle and distance appropriate to your barcode size and label contrast. CCD scanners perform best when the barcode fills 20–80% of the optical field; adjust mounting height and angle accordingly. The PS2 cable length determines installation reach — verify cable routing to avoid stress points. No external power supply is required when drawing from the PS2 port; confirm your system's keyboard port can supply sufficient current. Test decode performance with your actual barcode stock before full deployment.
