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. The unique shape of the V-cradle aids customers in placing the
items for scanning and desensitizing. The V-cradle contains electronic cir-
cuitry that desensitizes or resensitizes Tattle-Tape security strips in the V1
and V2 models and RFID tags in the V3 model. It also contains sensors that
ensure that the items are placed correctly.
RFID reader pad
The reader pad, which typically is mounted inside or under the countertop of
R-Series models, communicates with RFID tags placed in library items. Each
tag is encoded with item identification information using the 3M™ Staff
Workstation or 3M™ Conversion Station. The SelfCheck system uses the in-
formation in the RFID tag to check materials in and out. It also turns on a security
feature in the tag when it checks items in, and turns it off when it checks items
out. Using RFID, several items can be processed at one time. For more
information about RFID technology, see

Interconnect box
The interconnect box is installed inside SelfCheck system furniture. It contains
power supplies for the accessory components. It is so called because several
components plug into it.
V-coil driver box
The V-coil driver box is installed inside SelfCheck System V-Series cabinets.
It contains the circuitry that drives the electromagnetic coil in the V-cradle.
Appliance coupler
The appliance coupler is a three-outlet power strip with a remote switch
placed at a convenient height. It supplies power to the other components.
The appliance coupler switch is the master switch for the SelfCheck system.
Computer
The SelfCheck system computer is a personal computer installed inside the
SelfCheck system cabinet.
