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

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.
