GETTING STARTED 1
The Monarch® 939iäkeyboard allows you to easily configure the
printer and enter batch data. The keyboard works with the
Monarch® 9416®, 9416® XL®, 9825®,9855® and 9860äprinters.
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.
Withascript,youcan
¨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.
Getting Started 1-1

Throughout this manual, you see references to the term “script.”
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 on custom scripts.
Power-Up Modes
Your 939i keyboard has the ability to operate in “terminal” mode or
in “intelligent” mode (using a custom ADK2 script). Terminal
mode is only available with the 9855 and 9860 printers.
If there is no ADK2 script loaded in the keyboard, the keyboard
operates in terminal mode. You can enter data and configure the
printer. In terminal mode, the keyboard does not access the
intelligent functionality provided by a script.
If an ADK2 script is loaded in the keyboard, the script
automatically runs when the keyboard and printer are turned on.
The prompts you see and what you do are controlled by the script.
About This Manual
This manual is arranged in several sections:
¨Use Chapters 2 through 4 when your keyboard is operating in
terminal mode.
¨Use Appendix A for keyboard specifications.
¨Use Appendix B for the available character sets.
¨Use Appendix C, with information for your System
Administrator on intelligent (script) mode and configuring the
scanner.
The information in this document supersedes information in
previous versions. Check our Web site (www.monarch.com)for
any updates.

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.
¨A way to enter terminal mode (required for 9860 printer).
¨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.
