    Chapter 1 Compatibility with PM8300 Compatibility Mode In order to use the PM9300 together with PM8300 devices, you must switch the scanner in compatible mode. When in compatible mode, the Scanner can recognize a subset of PM8300 commands, listed on this Manual. It is possible to still uses the standard configuration manual or Aladdin in order to configure parameters not present here.

    FUNCTION KEY PROGRAMMING There are four function keys, F1, F2, F3, F4, plus the SHIFT key (↑), which can be defined as Function 5. Each of these keys can be programmed to perform a user-assigned function. This is done by associating a function key with an entry in the String Table, which is a database resident on the 16-key Power- Scan™.
