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

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.

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).

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.

FUNCTION KEY PROGRAMMING
There are four function keys, F1, F2, F3, F4, plus the SHIFT key (↑), which can
be defined as Function 5. Each of these keys can be programmed to perform
a user-assigned function. This is done by associating a function key with an
entry in the String Table, which is a database resident on the 16-key PowerScan™. You can select either a predefined command or define your own custom string. See the “String Table” command on page 56 to define
customized strings for the String Table. See the “Shift Key Programming”

All Slaves must be powered up either before or together with the Master.
Slaves successively powered will not be recognized by the system even if
their address is in the specified range.
CAUTION
Network Warning Message
The Master cradle can transmit warning messages to the Host regarding
some network errors.
/*Slave xxxx not responding*/: when the Master can no longer communicate with the specified Slave previously identified at start up.
/*Fr
ame out of sequence for terminal xxxx*/: if a reader is sending data
packets out of sequence. This can happen if there are transmission problems on the network (either connection or communication), or if the reader
has correctly transmitted data to a device not on the network (reader configuration error).
The message is sent in the following format:
"Message" CR LF
Reception Warning Message
The Master cradle can transmit warning messages to the Host regarding
wrong reception of data. Example:
/*Two-Ways Out of Sequence!(.....)*/
This message is transmitted to the Host by the Master cradle when the Master cradle receives a closing string from the Host for a Two-way tx communication, but this was either not open or already closed, therefore the data
be lost.

Master Header/Terminator Selection
In addition to the standard header/terminator selection, the Master cradle
can add its own header/terminator to the entire message sent to the Host.
In the STAR-System™ network headers and terminators for all RF Devices are
disabled by default.
The Master header and terminator default values are as follows depending
on the interface selection towards the Host:
RS-232: no header, terminator CR-LF
WEDGE: no header, terminator ENTER
Address Stamping
It is possible to include the reader address in the message sent to the host.
The Reader Address Stamping and the Cradle Address Stamping parameters
consist of a 4-digit number in the range 0000 to 1999.
For message output format, refer to MESSAGE FORMATTING on page 81.

•The code is sent to the Host.
•The reader display is cleared.Therefore if any previous data was displayed on the reader screen it is canceled and the screen remains

•There is no Local Echo of the code to the reader display.
Local Echo mode: When a barcode is read with the reader:
•The code is sent to the Host.
•The reader display is cleared.
•The code is also sent to the reader display (Local Echo).
