If you are planning to develop applications that utilize any of the unique 5020 SDK
interfaces, you also need to install the Intermec 5020 Software Development Kit (SDK).
The SDK library helps you to take advantage of the unique functionality available on
the 5020 device and facilitates software development for that environment.
The SDK Library is compatible with the Windows CE Win32 programming
environment. Applications developed for the 5020 can use combinations of functions
available in the Windows CE Win32 programming environment and the Intermec SDK
Library.
