Check-Out

To check items out of the library:

1 Go into Check-out 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 un-secured (if appropriate) and the item ID was sent to the

library circulation system.

§ If the workstation is configured to send item IDs and to un-secure

items, you will receive the message “IDs Sent. Items Un-secured.

Remove items." In some cases, depending on item type or condition,

unsecuring will occur automatically. In other cases, it must be

confirmed by the user or will not occur.

§ If user confirmation is required, a button is displayed on the right side

of the message area.

The workstation can be set up to automatically switch to Check-Out

mode if the scanner is turned on, the patron card is placed over a

single sensor on the scanner side of the deck, and the bar code is

read. The patron ID is sent to the library circulation system and the

workstation goes into Check-Out operation.

Changing to Check-Out overrides any other current setting.

A complete check-out includes sending the item ID and un-securing

the item, if applicable. On items where the security action is automatic,

the item ID is not sent until the item is un-secured. On items where the

security action must be confirmed, the item ID is sent before the

confirmation message appears.
