WARNING To reduce the risk associated with fire due to modification or incorrect installation of system components or the use of non-approved replacement components: Do not attempt to modify or repair—no user serviceable parts—contact 3M Service for repair. Use approved system components installed by 3M service personnel only. Install system components into desk or enclosure according to instructions and specifications given in the appropriate site planning guide.
Receipt printer The receipt printer is recessed into the cabinet that 3M provides and may be placed on the countertop in other installations. It is a thermal printer, which does not require toner or ribbons. Receipt printing can be turned on or off or made conditional on the printer paper supply. Receipt text and graphics can be edited in the 3M™ SelfCheck™ System Manager. V-cradle The V-cradle is where library items are placed for processing on V-Series models.
CAUTION To reduce the risk associated with environmental contamination due to the incorrect disposal of the lithium battery in the PC, mercury in the monitor/ display, and/or any circuitry that contains lead in the solder: At the end of service life, dispose of the V-cradle, coil driver box, interconnect box, appliance coupler, computer, monitor, and laser scanner in accordance with federal, state, and local requirements.
Touch screen monitor controls The SelfCheck system uses a touch screen monitor to guide customers through check-in and checkout. To adjust the display, use the monitor’s onscreen menu to adjust display characteristics, such as brightness, contrast, and color. Do not change the display resolution, for the default resolution is optimized for the SelfCheck system graphics. To adjust the display 1 Press the menu key to display the main menu. 2 Using the selection keys, make adjustments as required.
General maintenance Replacing the printer paper The SelfCheck system will send out email notifications when the printer is low on paper. When the printer paper runs out, use one of the following procedures to replace it with a new roll of paper: To replace the paper in a recessed printer 1 Remove the cover plate. 2 Squeeze the open button on the left side of the cover and lift the printer cover. 3 Place the paper roll in the printer so the paper unwinds from the bottom.
Solving problems Most problems with the SelfCheck system can be resolved by reading this manual. In this section we attempt to help you resolve problems that may be due to hardware or configuration failures. Boot and login problems Login and communication problems Problems you encounter during the login process can be caused by changes to the host computer installation setup and circulation system changes. Contact your system administrator for assistance.
Printer problems Verify that the printer has paper. Verify that the paper is properly installed. The paper must be installed with the thermal side up and paper coming from the bottom of the roll. Verify that the printer is enabled on the Devices tab. Verify that the printer cable and power plugs are connected. Verify that the printer cover is closed and latched. Try printing a Windows test page from the printer driver properties in the Printers and Faxes window.
Scanner problems If you are having scanning problems, the following table may provide some solutions. Possible cause Solutions The scanner reads poorly. Clean the scanner lens with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. The barcode can’t be read properly because it is faded or dirty. Replace the barcode with a clean, good quality barcode. A bright light is shining on or reflecting from the barcode. Remove or shade the light.
Obtaining service and supplies Printer paper and other supplies The SelfCheck system sends out email notifications when the printer is low on paper. To order printer paper and other supplies in the U.S., call 1-800328-0067, option 2. Outside the U.S., call your local 3M office. The following printer paper is recommended: Thermal printer paper Part number 78-8126-7827-0 (Part number for one roll. You must order paper in quantities of 8 rolls) Width 3.
Appendix A: BCS scanner adjustment template Use the template on the following page to ensure that the BCS scanner is about 8 inches (20 cm) from the desktop and lined up at about a 20 degree angle (between 17 and 23 degrees). How to use the template 1 Remove the template page from the binder (printed manual) or print it (PDF). 2 Fold the page along the dotted line. 3 Use the template to ensure that the scanner is at the correct distance and angle.
