This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential
area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.
CANADIAN D.O.C. WARNING
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emissions from
digital apparatus set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department
of Communications.

The Monarch® 939i keyboard allows you to easily configure the
printer and enter batch data. The keyboard works with the
Monarch® 9416®, 9825, 9855 and 9860 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
N
unpacking the keyboard.
N
connecting the cables.
N
power-up modes.
N
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. 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.
1
With a script, you can
N
Create prompts for the user to enter data manually or using
a scanner. See Appendix C, "Configuring the System," for
more information.
N
Use look-up tables, or files, to store data that will be
printed on labels.
N
Perform additional data tracking, data conversion, and data
manipulation.
Getting Started
1-1
Throughout this manual, you will 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.
Monarch® offers custom script writing. Contact your Monarch
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). Te r m i n a l
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
Getting Started
1-2
This manual is arranged in several sections:
N
Use Chapters 2 through 4 when your keyboard is operating in
terminal mode.
N
Use Appendix A for keyboard specifications.
N
Use Appendix B for the available character sets.
N
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.paxar.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:
N
A way to enter and exit the script.
N
A way to enter terminal mode (required for 9860 printer).
N
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.
N
The scanner’s configuration and setup (if you are using a
scanner).
Contact your System Administrator for more information about
these items.

SETTING BATCH OPTIONS
This chapter only applies when using the keyboard
in terminal mode. When using the keyboard in
intelligent mode, your script controls the prompts
you see and each script is different.
You can select Batch Options to change which prompts appear
during Batch Entry mode and set default values for those prompts.
Customizing which prompts appear during batch entry can reduce
the time it takes to enter data for a format.
If a knife is not installed on the printer, you can prevent those
prompts from appearing during batch entry mode. If you set a new
default value for an option, that value is used even if the prompt is
not displayed. If you do not change a default value for an option,
the system default is used if the prompt is not displayed.
