Compatibility with PM8300
Compatibility Mode
In order to use the PM9300 together with PM8300 devices, you must switch
the scanner in compatible mode.
When in compatible mode, the Scanner can recognize a subset of PM8300
co
mmands, listed on this Manual.
It is possible to still uses the standard configuration manual or Aladdin in
order to configure parameters not present here.
Changing from Normal to Compatible Mode
PM9300 Handheld
1. With the PM9300, read the Compatible Mode bar code.
Chapter 1

2. Read the restore default command.
Restore Default
3. Follow the procedure described at page 3.
When the PM9300 is in Compatible Mode, some newer features (such
as communication speed programming) will not be available.

Changing from Compatible Mode back to Normal
PM9300 Handheld
1. With the PM9300, read the following label:
Normal Mode (High Speed)
2. With the PM9300, read the Unlink programing label.
Unlink
3. Now you can link your PM9300 to a BC9xxx in normal mode; the
PM9300 will inherit the programmed speed from the BC9xxx.
BC9xxx Base
1. With a PM9300 in normal mode, read the Unlink programming label
below:
Unlink
2. Read the following bar code:
Return to Normal
3. Place the PM9300 on your BC9xxx.
Your BC9xxx will link to the PM9300 and will inherit the reader’s programmed speed.

Using Multiple M-Series Readers with Same Cradle
If you want to use several M-Series readers with the same BC-80X0 cradle,
you must first Bind the cradle with one of the readers (see previously
described configuration procedure).
Successive readers can be associated with the same cradle by following the
configuration procedure substituting the Bind command with Join (step 7).
7. Join
The green LED on the PowerScan™ M8300 will blink: the reader is ready to
be positioned onto the cradle. Complete step 8.

CHANGING DEFAULT SETTINGS
Once your reader is setup, you can change the default parameters to meet
your application needs. Refer to the preceding paragraphs for initial config
uration in order to set the default values and select the interface for your
application.
In this manual, the configuration parameters are divided into logical groups
making it easy to find the desired function based on its reference group.
The first four groups are for Standard Interface parameter configuration for
all PowerScan™ D8330 series readers and PowerScan™ M8300/BC-80X0
Standalone configurations only:
•RS-232
•USB
•WEDGE
• NETWORK PARAMETERS are available only for BC-8060 Network configurations.
The following parameter groups are common to all interface applications:
• DATA FORMAT parameters regard the messages sent to the Host system for all interfaces except Pen Emulation.
• POWER SAVE manages overall current consumption in the reading
device.
• READING PARAMETERS control various operating modes and indicator
status functioning.
• DECODING PARAMETERS maintain correct barcode decoding in certain
special reading conditions.
•CODE SELECTION parameters allow configuration of a personalized mix
of codes, code families and their options.
• ADVANCED FORMATTING PARAMETERS allow code concatenation and
advanced formatting of messages towards the Host. It cannot be used
with Pen Emulation connections.
• RADIO PARAMETERS (M8300 series only) allow configuration of radio
control parameters.
• DISPLAY PARAMETERS (some M8300 series models only) allow configuration of reader display parameters.
