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

receiving, etc.
