Check-In
To check items into the library:
1 Go into Check-in mode:
For the Standard configuration:
§ Select the button and follow the instructions on the screen.
For Local and Remote configurations with the Companion UI:
§ Select the button and follow the instructions on the screen.
2 Place an item on the deck within the designated area.
The item should be:
§ touching the back wall (for books, the spine should be touching the
back wall),
§ within or inside of the edge sensors on the deck, and
§ covering two adjacent non-edge sensors (sensors that are next to each
other).
3 Position the item until the digital identification tag is read or the bar code
is under the scan line.
4 When the digital identification tag is read or the bar code is scanned, you
may hear a thump sound, which indicates that the security strip in the
item was secured (if appropriate) and the item ID was sent to the library
circulation system.
§ If the workstation is in Check-in mode, you will receive the message
“IDs Sent. Items Secured. Remove items.”
§ If user confirmation is required, a button is displayed on the right side
of the message area.
The system can be set up to automatically switch to Check-Out mode.
See Check-Out.
Changing to Check-in overrides any other current setting, unless
Auto-switch to Check-out with Library card is selected in the
Administrative Settings window - Function tab.
A complete check-in includes sending the item ID and securing the
item, if applicable. On items where the security action is automatic, the
item ID is not sent until the item is secured. On items where the
security action must be confirmed, the item ID is sent before the
confirmation message appears.
