Preface
The DT-300 has been designed and developed to become a basic and low-cost model among the
CASIO handheld data collection terminals. While maintaining software-compatibility with the
DT-900 handheld terminal, the DT-300 has achieved its outstanding features in its class of
conventional handheld data collection terminals including a high screen resolution (112 x 64 dots)
and improved environmental performances.
In this reference manual, the DT-300 is referred to as either “DT-300” or “DT-300M60E” or
Terminal”.
