INTRODUCTION

Datalogic renews its range of industrial laser scanners introducing the PowerScan
family: PowerScan
remain unsurpassed: clearly audible beeper and bright "good read" LEDs for areas
where noise levels are normally high; the aim mode, which helps point to the right
code, has now been extended to the whole PowerScan
completely suspended on shock absorbers and a careful choice of the body
materials, such as the co-moulded rubber, protect the PowerScan
due to "falls".
New enhanced architecture, based on an M16 high-speed microprocessor, enables
exceptional performance for promptness and reading speed of standard codes as
well as the ability to read poorly printed and damaged codes. Puzzle Solver
Technology™, a patent from Datalogic, adds further strength to the PowerScan
powerful engine.
In all applications where mobility is a value, the new PowerScan
the key to increase

PowerScan M8300 communicates through a low power, license free radio in the
433 MHz band (910 MHz for USA version) and allows bi-directional communication
between the base station and the host. PowerScan
and either a 3 or 16-key push-button keypad. Thanks to these features, the operator
can receive information from the host, interact with the central system and visualize
the code read. The cordless system offers scalable solutions to solve simple
applications and complex projects:
•
Point to point: each reader is associated with its own base station;
•
Multipoint: up to 32 readers transmit data to one base station;
•
Network: to cover a wide area, connecting up to 16 bases and 512 readers
simultaneously working in automatic roaming.

PowerScan M8300 is 100% compatible with STAR-System™, the new Datalogic
RF narrow band solution for mobile applications that provides the widest family of
narrow band devices on the market.
Your PowerScan
provides connection, diagrams, reading diagrams, basic application parameter
settings, default values, and specific technical features. You can use either the Quick
Reference Guide or this Manual for initial configuration in order to set the default
values and select the interface for your application. This manual provides all the
necessary information for complete mechanical installation and system software
configuration.
