printer and enter batch data. The keyboard works with the

keyboard also works with non-Monarch printers. However, an
auxiliary power supply is required for the keyboard. See Appendix

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. See 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.
