New Self-Check Machine

The new self-check unit has arrived and been connected. For your information:

1-After checking out their book(s) the user has to choose, at the bottom of the screen, whether they want to print a receipt, email the date due receipt, or choose no receipt.

2-Users can renew books that they bring with them. The process is the same as signing out a book.

3-Refilling the printer with paper is very simple.  Retrieve the 3M key, from the key board at the Loan Services desk, and use it to unlock, and remove,  the flat, silver plate at the right hand side of the top of the cabinet.  Open the top of the printer (there is a button to press up at the left) and drop in the new roll, the paper should feed from underneath the roll.  Close the top of the printer, replace and lock the silver plate.  Please ask Renata if you wish a demonstration.

The machine came with 6 big rolls of printer paper.  They are on the shelf where we keep the boxes of printer rolls.  The machine can also use the small rolls that are used for the black receipt printers at the Loan Services desk.  We will decide whether we want to order the bigger rolls or use the smaller rolls.
