Richard;

The scanner needs a 9v power supply which is capable of delivering a
minimum of 300 ma so a supply which is capable of delivering 800 ma is
well suited for this purpose.

As long as your power supply does not provide more than 9v, your
scanner will not be damaged.

A power supply rated well above the current capacity of the device
will actually run cooler than one that runs near it's capacity.

Think about a heavy duty car battery. All batteries run at 12 volts,
and no battery will damage your cars accessories, but a battery with a
higher amperage rating will run more accesories than a battery with a
lower rating.

big 273-1667 9V 800MA adpater?
