NOTES
Using THE BC-80X0 Radio Cradle The BC-80X0 cradle, paired with one or more PowerScan™ M8300 readers, builds a Cordless Reading System for the collection, decoding and transmission of bar-coded data. It can be connected to a Host PC through an RS-232, USB, Wedge or Pen cable and is suited for single-cradle point-to-point layouts. It can also be connected to a C-BOX and therefore integrated into a fixed scanner application. The BC-8060 models also allow multi-cradle layouts through an RS-485 Network.
