Wasp Ending Support for Windows Mobile/CE Devices Using TLS 1.0 and 1.1
Effective April 1, 2024, Wasp Barcode Technologies will no longer support Windows mobile/CE devices using TLS 1.0 or 1.1. Microsoft ended support for TLS 1.0 and 1.1 due to security risks. Any Windows mobile device using TLS 1.0 or 1.1 will no longer function with Wasp AssetCloud, InventoryCloud and PackageTracker. This includes our DT60, DT90, DT92, and HC1. Please contact us to discuss Android devices (DR6 and WTD950) we offer that are compatible with our software.
If you use Wasp’s APIs for integrations with AssetCloud or InventoryCloud and you are using TLS 1.0 or 1.1, please be advised that you may encounter compatibility issues.

DISINFECTING RECOMMENDATIONS FOR WASP SCANNERS & MOBILE PRODUCTS
To disinfect scanner/device surfaces, Wasp Barcode Technologies recommends using one of the two following solutions:
•Isopropyl Alcohol (70% solution at a minimum)
•Household Bleach (5-6% sodium hypochlorite) - ½ cup bleach diluted in 1 gallon of water
Both options are recommended by the CDC as effective disinfecting solutions. Cleaning procedure is detailed below.
For more generalized information, please visit: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/home/cleaning-disinfection.html
Use a clean paper towel dampened with one of the above solutions to clean and disinfect scan window, display, and exterior surfaces.
CAUTION
DO NOT use abrasive cleaning agents or abrasive pads to clean this product. Harsh chemicals, disinfectants, and cleansers can cause damage which will adversely affect scanning and weighing performance. Do not apply bleach solution to any metal including contacts.

Dear Wasp Support Customers,
We would like to give you an updated and clear picture of the current situation at Wasp Barcode Technologies (“Wasp”) during this period where everyday news and media insist on the impact of COVID-19 on several companies.
This global emergency has had a limited impact on our activities. At present time, there has been no closure or suspension of the production of our devices and software, ensuring our customers continuity in the deliveries of products and supplies.
Wasp is keeping in close contact with all of our vendors to minimize the impact of the virus on our supply chain. While we have identified a few components in some of our products that have been affected, at this time we have adequate stock and do not expect any impact.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will provide you with any updates that could affect our operations.
We are also working through various contingency plans related to potential business-impacting situations related to the pandemic, but it is our goal to continue to provide you uninterrupted service regardless of the scenario.
However, we do recognize certain situations may cause that goal to be unattainable, in which case we will notify you immediately of any expected impact to our business and yours.
To anyone impacted by COVID-19, we wish you a quick recovery and extend our gratitude to all healthcare professionals and volunteers assisting those in need.

These problems occur using Labeler v7, and when printing labels from InventoryControl v7 and MobileAsset v7 (which install and use Labeler v7).
Symptoms
- OS: Windows 10 or Windows 8.1
- Printing from Labeler to a WPL305, the label is fed, but is blank, or the printed image is less than half the expected size. A printed image might be unexpectedly rotated 90 degrees.
- Printing from Labeler to a WPL612 or WPL610, the above problem may occur, or there may be no response from Windows or the printer when the print job is sent; no print job appears in the print queue.
- Printing from Labeler to other types of printers, such as laser printers, PDF, and Microsoft XPS Document Writer, appears to unaffected. Printing from other applications to the label printer appears to be unaffected.
Cause
There is an incompatibility among Labeler, label printers, and Microsoft .NET v4.6 on Windows 10 and Windows 8.1. (When using Windows 7, label printing from Labeler appears to be unaffected by .NET v4.6.)
Discussion
Windows 10 comes with .NET v4.6 built in (and is not downgradeable).
Windows 8.1 comes with .NET v4.5.1 built in. The problem occurs when .NET v4.6 is installed.
Workaround
Windows 10: Refer to this new article: http://support.waspbarcode.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/1267/49/labeler-v7-and-windows-10
Windows 8.1: Use the .NET Framework Cleanup Tool from Microsoft to return to .NET v4.5.1, then update to v4.5.2 (since there are problems with v4.5.1). If possible, disable the automatic update to .NET v4.6 in Windows Update. The PC will most likely need to be rebooted one or more times during this process.
Cleanup Tool Discussion Link:

Updates
When Wasp releases a fix for Labeler, or Microsoft releases a .NET update that does not cause this problem, this article will be updated.

In WaspTime 7 you can use the Time Sync Setup feature to automatically synchronize your time clock with the server's time over the weekend (after the time change.) You also have the option to manually apply Daylight Savings Time to all timecards in WaspTime.
Whichever method you chose, you can be certain the correct time is displayed in your employee's timecards.
Refer to the following Knowledge Base articles for instructions on each method:
Be sure the time on your Wasptime clock matches the time on the server with Time Sync Setup
Here are a few tips that you might find helpful when searching the Wasp Knowledge Base
1. Keep it simple. One or two word search terms will return more results.
Example: restore blank Notice results for restoring a blank database.
Add more words to fine-tune your results.
2. Use quotation marks to search an exact phrase.
Examples: "wpl driver" or "delete employee"
Keep in mind, using quotes may exclude relevant search results.
3. Try the minus sign "-" before words that you wish to omit from the search listing.
Example: restore -blank Notice, unlike the results in Tip 1 the occurrence of blank is not included in most results.
Another method would be to use Google's "site:" feature. With Google's "site:" feature, not only will your search criteria return results found in article titles but the listings will also include occurrences found in attached documents. This can be useful to research all relevant content for your search.
1. Go to google.com and enter site:support.waspbarcode.com in the search field or click the following link:
Google Search
2. Next, simply add a space after the site:support.waspbarcode.com and enter your search criteria.
Example: site:support.waspbarcode.com restore
After the search is executed, notice the results listed below. Steps 1-3 for the Wasp Knowledge Base can be used with Google as well.
