Handheld 1D Long-Range CCD Scanner
The Wasp WLR8950 is a corded handheld barcode scanner built for retail point-of-sale and repetitive scanning tasks. Its pistol-grip design and durable ABS construction withstand multiple 6' drops to concrete, reducing downtime in busy environments. The bi-color dual LED light source automatically switches between 630 nm red and 525 nm green to read coloured 1D barcodes at distances up to 12 inches. A 450 scans-per-second engine speeds throughput for high-volume workflows.
USB Corded Interface and Power Limits
The scanner connects through a USB interface with an included cable, drawing under 340 mA in single-colour mode and under 370 mA in bi-colour mode at 5 VDC ± 5%. Idle consumption stays below 240 mA over USB. The corded design restricts mobility to the cable length, so the device suits fixed workstations rather than roaming inventory tasks. No wireless or battery operation is supported.
3-Mil Resolution and Depth-of-Field Constraints
A 3-mil resolution defines the finest barcode element the engine can resolve, limiting use to symbols printed at or above that density. Depth of field ranges from 80 to 100 mm at 4 mil Code 39, 80 to 125 mm at 5 mil Code 39, 25 to 300 mm at 15.6 mil EAN, and 95 to 170 mm at X:10 mil Y:1 mm PDF 417. Buyers needing to scan codes smaller than 3 mil or at distances outside these bands should select a different engine.

Questions about this item
Which Wasp WLR8950 version should I choose for coloured barcodes?
The WLR8950 uses a bi-colour dual LED light source at 630 nm red and 525 nm green that automatically switches to read red barcodes with green light and green barcodes with red light.
What does 450 scan/s mean when I am at the till?
The scanner performs 450 scans per second, so a trigger pull captures the code almost instantly even on low-contrast labels down to 30 % print contrast ratio.
What does the USB interface cap in practice?
The USB connection supplies 5 VDC ± 5 % and draws under 370 mA in bi-colour mode, so it runs from a standard PC port without an external power supply.
