Industrial Handheld Laser Bar
Code Reader with Datalogic's
STAR Cordless System™
The PowerScan™ PM8300 cordless laser
scanners are Datalogic Scanning's premium
line of rugged industrial handheld data
collection products for linear codes. The
PowerScan PM8300 series includes different
models able to satisfy all customers' needs;
the PM8300 is the basic cordless model; the
PM8300-D intermediate model includes a
display and 3-key keypad; and the ultimate
PM8300-DK model features a display and a
full 16-key keyboard. The PM8300-DK model
significantly increases the sophistication
of interaction with the host system and
opens up new potential uses of the scanner,
making it suitable for applications that
would normally require a more expensive
portable data terminal. The mobile phone-
like keyboard allows for the manual entering
of bar codes that are not readable and
enables easy management of simple code-
quantity applications like inventory, picking,
receiving, etc.
Narrow band radio communications
with Datalogic's STAR Cordless System™
provides the key to increased productivity
and flexibility in the workplace. It offers
scalable solutions from simple point-to-
CORDLESS SYSTEM
point applications to networking capabilities
combined with seamless roaming for
complex installations.
The PM8300 readers feature Datalogic's
exclusive 3 Green Lights (3GL™) for superior
good read feedback. The patented 'Green
Spot' directly on the code and dual Good
Read LeDs on the top and back of the
cap adds increased visibility at any angle.
Superior reading performance is enhanced
by Datalogic's patented PuzzleSolver™
technology for fast and accurate reading
of standard, poorly printed and damaged
codes.
The PM8300 reader's mechanics have been
developed and tested to withstand extreme
environmental conditions maintaining
consistent reading performance without
degrading performance or reliability. Its
ergonomic enclosure is lightweight and
well balanced to ensure optimal operator
comfort during scan intensive operations.
A built-in metal tether hook for suspended
applications ensures workplace productivity.
Multi-interface capabilities feature the most
popular interfaces: RS-232, Keyboard Wedge,
Wand emulation and USB. The Datalogic
Aladdin™ configuration program provides
user-friendly features that simplify the start-
up procedure, even for inexperienced users.
