The Monarch® 939iä keyboard allows you to easily configure the
printer and enter batch data. The keyboard works with the
Monarch® 9416®, 9416® XL®, 9825®, 9855® and 9860ä printers.
This keyboard also works with non-Monarch printers. However, an
auxiliary power supply is required for the keyboard. See Appendix
A, “Specifications and Accessories” for the part number.
This chapter includes information about
¨
unpacking the keyboard.
¨
connecting the cables.

power-up modes.

using the keyboard.
Overview
The 939i keyboard is an “intelligent” keyboard that can be
programmed to show user prompts and collect data. Using the
Application Development Kit II (ADK2), an application, or script,
can be written to program the keyboard. Refer to the ADK manual
for more information. Think of the intelligent keyboard like your
PC, where you can enter data using your PC’s keyboard or
connect an optional scanner to scan data.
With a script, you can
¨
Create prompts for the user to enter data manually or using
a scanner. See Appendix C, “Configuring the System,” for
more information.
¨
Use look-up tables, or files, to store data that will be
printed on labels.
¨
Perform additional data tracking, data conversion, and data
manipulation.
