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 dierent 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-

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.
