Designed for Productivity:
The PowerScan 8300 readers’ ergonomic enclosures are lightweight and well-balanced ensuring optimal operator comfort during scan intensive operations. Multiple good-read feedback features and a built-in metal tether hook for suspended applications ensure workplace productivity. The PowerScan 8300 readers’ superior reading performance is enhanced by Datalogic’s patented Puzzle Solver™ technology for fast and accurate reading of standard, poorly printed and damaged bar codes.

Superior Radio Features:
The Datalogic STAR Cordless System™ for narrow band radio communications represents the key to increased productivity and flexibility in the workplace. It offers scalable solutions to solve simple point-to-point applications as well as networking capability combined with seamless
roaming for complex projects. An optional display with a 3-button keypad provides time and battery status and enables interaction with the host.

Performance and Reliability:
The PowerScan 8300 readers’ mechanics have been developed and tested to withstand extreme environmental conditions maintaining consistent reading performance. Hard shocks (6.5 ft / 2 m drops), dust and water (IP65/IP64 sealed) and adverse temperature conditions
(operative at -22 ºF / -30 ºC) do not affect product performance or reliability.

Installation and Configuration Ease:
The PowerScan 8300 readers are offered with a full set of accessories: single and multiple battery chargers, desk/wall holder, belt and forklift holsters and a handsfree stand. All models have multi-interface capabilities built in featuring the most popular interfaces; RS- 232, Keyboard Wedge, Wand Emulation and USB. The Datalogic Aladdin™ configuration program provides user-friendly features that simplify the start-up procedure, even for inexperienced users.
