The Wasp 633808105266 WaspLabeler +2D barcode label design software contains more than 100 predesigned barcode templates, is compatible with select computers running Microsoft Windows, and can be used to design, create, and print linear one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) barcode labels for inventory tracking. The software allows the user to choose from more than 100 predesigned barcode label templates or design new labels. Barcode data can be typed directly into the software interface and assigned to particular barcode labels, or it can be pulled from an external source, such as a Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, or Intuit QuickBooks file. Completed barcode labels may be printed to a networked, Windows-compatible printer. This software is compatible with computers that run Microsoft Windows XP (SP3), Windows 2000, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2012 (32- or 64-bit), have a Pentium 4 or faster processor, have at least 2 GB of system memory and 512 MB of storage, and have a CD-ROM drive for software installation.

Barcode scanners, also known as barcode readers, can be used to scan and decode barcodes and to transmit barcode data to a computer or another host system. Barcode readers with a single-line laser can be used to scan linear, one-dimensional (1D) barcodes. Some lasers can produce light in an omnidirectional pattern to allow scanning of barcodes from different angles. Other barcode readers contain CCD (charge-coupled device) light sensors instead of a laser for accuracy and wear resistance. Barcode scanners with raster scanning, area imaging, and other scanning technologies can allow scanning of two-dimensional (2D) or Portable Document Format 417 (PDF417) barcodes, among other types. Some barcode readers provide onboard flash memory to allow the storage of barcode data before transmitting it to a computer or host system through a USB cable or wireless WLAN or Bluetooth connection. Many barcode readers have a handle for handheld use and come with a stand or a charging cradle for fixed position applications, while others are designed for stationary use on a counter or another flat surface. Some portable readers are small enough to be carried in a pocket or attached to a lanyard. Barcode readers are used at retail checkout counters and other points of sale (POS) locations and in warehouses and shipping facilities.
