The Monarch® 939ikeyboard allows you to easily configure the  
printer and enter batch data. The keyboard works with the  
Monarch® 9416®, 9825, 9855and 9860printers. 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.  
O v e r v i e w  
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.  
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.

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). Te r mi n al  
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.  
A b o u t T h i s M a n u a l  
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

A b o u t S c r i p t s  
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.

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.

After setting the batch options, you are ready to use Batch Entry  
mode to enter data for your formats. See Chapter 3, "Entering  
Batch Data," for more information.  
Keep in mind the following definitions:  
Number of Parts  
Number of times data prints across the tag’s  
width. Using one to print data once on the  
tag. Using three to print data three times  
across the tag.  
Cut Multiple  
Number of tags printed between cuts as a  
set. A cut multiple of one cuts after each tag.  
To cut after each batch, set the cut multiple  
equal to the print quantity.  
If the cut multiple is three and the print  
quantity is 15, five sets of three tags are  
printed and cut (15 tags). If the cut multiple  
is three and the print quantity is 16, five sets  
of three tags and one set of one tag are  
printed and cut (16 tags).  
The cut multiple does NOT affect the printed  
quantity.  
2-6 Setting Batch Options  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Print Multiple  
Number of copies of each tag to print as a set  
within a batch. A print multiple of one prints  
one set of one tag. A print multiple of three  
prints three copies of each tag as a set.  
If the print multiple is three and the print  
quantity is 15, then 15 sets of tags with three  
tags per set are printed (45 tags). If the print  
multiple is two and the print quantity is four,  
then four sets of tags with two tags per set  
are printed (8 tags).  
The most common application for print  
multiple is with incrementing or decrementing  
fields. See "Using Print Multiple with Inc/Dec  
Fields" for more information.  
The print multiple DOES affect the printed  
quantity.  
Print Quantity  
Set  
Number of tags or sets of tags printed in a  
batch. A print quantity of 30 prints 30 tags  
when the print multiple is one.  
Number of tags to be printed together within a  
batch.

This chapter explains how to enter batch data from the keyboard.  
You can enter numbers, letters, and a variety of symbols (including  
punctuation and international characters) from the keyboard. See  
Appendix B, "Character Sets" for information about international  
characters.  
Some fields specifically require numeric or alphabetic data. If you  
try to enter numeric data for an alpha field, or alphabetic data for a  
numeric field, the printer does not accept the data. Type the  
correct data and press N.  
To enter numeric data, press the key that shows the number you  
want. The screen displays the number and the cursor moves to  
the next position in the field. This is also how you enter a period  
(.), comma (,), or dollar sign ($). To enter alpha characters, press  
the key that shows the letter you want. The screen displays the  
character and the cursor moves to the next position in the field.  
Here is an example of how to enter the word Red.  
Not all fonts support lower-case letters.  
1. Press and hold S while pressing the R key. An upper-case R  
appears on the display.  
2. Press the E key. A lower-case e appears on the display.  
3. Press the D key. A lower-case d appears on the display.

When a field has fixed characters, they appear as part of the data  
entry prompt. The fixed data stays the same, and prints on every  
tag that uses the format. Only the data you enter can be  
changed. In the example below, the first six digits are fixed  
characters.  
UPCA Barcode:  
004156 _ _ _ _ _  
The printed field contains both the fixed characters and the data  
you enter.

Batch Entry lets you enter the data to print a batch (or batches) of  
supplies. You must first download your formats to the printer.  
Depending on your settings in Batch Options,  
some of these prompts may or may not  
appear. See Chapter 2, "Setting Batch  
Options" for more information.

If you do not specify a cut mode (cut last ticket, cut after batch, or  
no cut before), the knife cuts after each tag. This is the same as  
cut mode 1. The knife uses the last selected cut mode. For  
example, if you select "Cut Last Ticket" and then select "Yes" to  
"Cut After Batch," the knife only cuts after each batch instead of  
after the last tag in the batch.

If the bar code does not scan:  
N
Change the scanner’s angle slightly and try again.  
N
Move the scanner four to eight inches away from the bar code.  
Adjust this distance as needed to find the correct distance.  
N
Try scanning another bar code that you have scanned  
successfully. If that scan is successful, the scanning problem  
may be with the bar code.  
N
Move to a more dimly lit area.  
N
Ensure there are no voids (streaks) in the bar code symbol.  
N
Clean the scanner window. See "Cleaning" for more  
information.  
N
If the scanner stays in the same place without scanning  
anything for awhile, the scanner may appear to "time out." If  
this happens move the scanner slightly and then towards the  
bar code you want to scan. The scanner should scan the bar  
code. Make sure you do not scan data twice or  
accidentally scan the wrong data.
