GETTING STARTED
The Monarch® 939i™ keyboard allows you to easily configure the
printer and enter batch data.
The keyboard works with the Monarch® 9416®, 9416® XL®, 9906,
ADTP1, and ADTP2 printers. This keyboard also works with non-Monarch
printers. You may need an auxiliary power supply for the keyboard
depending on your printer model. See Appendix A, “Specifications and
Accessories” for the part number.
Overview
The 939i keyboard is an “intelligent” keyboard that is programmed to
show user prompts and collect data. Custom applications, or scripts, are
written to program the keyboard. The script is the program that runs on
the keyboard to perform a specific task, such as scanning or collecting
data. We offer custom script writing; contact your Sales Representative
for information and pricing.
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, conversion, and manipulation.
About Scripts
This manual does not cover any specific information about what may be
in your script, because each script is different. Your script is written
based on jobs you need to perform. A script should contain several
basics features:
♦A way to enter and exit the script.
♦The prompts for entering the date and time each time you turn on the
printer if required by your script. The date and time are not saved
when the printer/keyboard are turned off.
♦The scanner’s configuration and setup (if you are using a scanner).
Contact your System Administrator for more information about these
items.
