The Application Development Kit II (ADK2) is a product for Microsoft Windows
95/98/Me/NT/2000. It allows you to create an application program to run on the printer. You write
the script with the ADK2 command language.
You can program the printer to:
♦ print labels or tags
♦ print data streams written for other printers
You can define lookup tables for the script running on the printer. It also allows you to define
records such as temporary storage buffers.
This manual is written for the Monarch Sierra Sport 2 9460 printer. Refer to the printer's
Operator's Handbook
Reference Manual
for data stream information.
