Item Processing
Allow multiple items with same ID
Determines whether to allow processing of generic IDs (that is,
the same ID used on multiple items, such as for magazines or
paperbacks).
Use UPC or ISBN barcodes on items
Determines whether to accept UPC and ISBN barcodes as valid
item barcodes.
Item processing settings
Desensitizing items on renewal
Determines whether an item’s security strip is always desensitized on renewal.
Desensitization creates an audible thump sound. To create a consistent
customer experience, 3M recommends setting the system to desensitize the
security strip again when an item is renewed.
Selecting
Desensitize items on renewal
will not create a thump if the
circulation system sends an "N" message back in the desensitize field.
Process videos/ Process audio and other magnetic media
These settings determine how the library handles magnetic media, which can be
damaged by the desensitizing process.
These fields do not apply to SelfCheck System BCS installations.
If you configure a Media Check device, the
Process videos
field is inactive.
At the desk
means that the entire process is handled at the circulation desk.
At SelfCheck (no security
) means processing happens at the SelfCheck
system but security is not turned on and off.
SIP 2.0 or later is required to distinguish between types of magnetic media.
Also, the circulation system must populate the media type field with a
designator and the items in the circulation system must be noted as magnetic
media.
Scanner Configuration
You must select the scanner mount image that matches the scanner mount con-
figuration of the SelfCheck system.
Scanner Configuration
Click the option that matches the physical scanner mount configuration of the SelfCheck system.
Barcode placement
Sets the SelfCheck system’s screen graphics to match the location of barcodes
on items in your library. The placement options depend on which scanner
configuration is selected.
For the two-step process there may be inconsistent placement of barcodes—
just pick the one that best represents the majority of barcodes.
