## Description

The Wasp WWS550I Freedom wireless barcode scanner has a handle, comes with a USB wireless adapter to connect wirelessly to a smartphone, tablet, or computer, and can be used to scan and decode linear one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. This handheld barcode reader contains CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors that can scan barcodes from up to 12" away at a resolution of 5 mm and a speed of up to 230 scans per second. CCD barcode scanners are typically more accurate than laser scanners and more resistant to wear. A USB wireless adapter allows the barcode reader to wirelessly transmit barcode data to an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet from up to 33 ft. away unobstructed or a Microsoft Windows computer from up to 160 ft. away unobstructed. A lithium-ion battery enables the barcode reader to make up to 3,960 scans on one charge. Indicators alert the user when the device is out of wireless range or running low on battery power. It can withstand drops of up to 5 ft. on a concrete floor. A stand (sold separately) enables the barcode reader to be used in a fixed position. This product weighs 5.6 oz. and measures 6.3 x 2.4 x 4.2 inches (H x L x W). (H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right.) Wasp Barcode Technologies manufactures barcode scanners, printers, labels and other data capture and tracking solutions for businesses. The company, founded in 1994, is headquartered in Plano, TX.What's in the Box?Barcode readerAC power adapterUSB wireless adapterProgramming guide

Review: Great scanner - Within the past couple of months, I've tried 2 other scanners. One manufacturer had the most difficult time with English and not much in the way of a users manual. The second had better documentation, and I think I would have been successful getting it to do what I wanted it to do, but I just could not get it to connect to the Bluetooth. The Wasp WWS5501 had a great starting guide, and a user manual on a cd that came with the scanner. I was able to get the scanner working within 15 minutes (probably less). I use the pre-amble and post-ample extensively, and I found it very easy to use. By the way, the Bluetooth usb that came with the Wasp was not usable. I tried to contact the manufacturer, SABRENT via phone, and never got through. I was planning on using it rather than the onboard Bluetooth. Anyway, I'm up and working (without the usb Bluetooth) and very happy. I have a fairly small office 2,000 sq ft, and the scanner does a great job communicating with my workstation.
Review: The Bluetooth adapter is terrible. It is too pricey for what it does - Wand does not work. It stops working intermittently and we have to pause for it to reset. The Bluetooth adapter is terrible. It is too pricey for what it does. We have bought 4 so far for our business. These keep burning out and are very unreliable. We have been looking to find a hand held scanner that works without hiccups, but using this one because this is the devil we know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great scanner

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was able to connect this scanner with a tablet ...
*by J***N on July 22, 2014*

I was able to connect this scanner with a tablet without any issues. The scanner is in use anywhere from 5-9 hours a day 5 days a week and I have not had any complaints of it dying out. So far I have not had any real issues with it. The only complaint that I have it is a little difficult to connect and program. No where in the documentation does it say there is a limit on the time between scans; as a result I was taking my time leaving about 5 seconds between the scans just to be sure I was scanning the correct bar code. Well it was not programming correctly as a result I was about to return it. I then called support and they told me you need to be quick and scan each bar code right after the other. When I did that I was finally able to get it connected to the Bluetooth and programmed correctly.
