The Intermec Fingerprint programming language and the Intermec
Direct Protocol allow custom-made messages to be composed and dis-
played according to the requirements of the application.

In application programs created using the Intermec Fingerprint pro-
gramming language, the keys can be assigned to various functions or
be disabled individually. Since one key is assigned as shift key, up to 44
different key combinations are possible. An audible signal, which can be
turned off if so desired, acknowledges that a key has been pressed.
