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.
