Using the Model 942
Processing items
This procedure describes how to check items in and out. Do NOT use it to
process magnetic media, such as video and audio tapes.
1 Set the unit’s processing direction
by pressing the right-to-left or left-
to-right switch.
2 Make sure that the unit is in normal
processing mode by ensuring that
the normal processing mode light
is on and pressing the magnetic
media switch if it is not.
The unit cannot change the
status of security strips in magnetic
media mode.
3 Ensure that the unit is set for the
correct type of processing (check-
in or checkout) with the Check-
in/Checkout switch.
4 Lay the library item over the active
sensors, with the security strip as
close to the back of the unit as
possible. (Lay books with the spine
against the back.)
The unit emits a thump, indicating
that the strip has been sensitized
(check-in) or desensitized
(checkout).
5 To verify the status of the strip to
ensure that processing was
successful, do the following:
a If the verifier mode light is not
on, press the verifier switch.
b Move the item left-to-right or
right-to-left a few inches while
watching the verifier light. If
the light turns on, it means the
unit has detected a sensitized
strip (security on).
