Page: 6 / 54

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.
P o w e r - U p M o d e s
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.
