User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 9 Only qualified personnel should edit CSS as incorrect editing can render your self-loan station unstable or inoperable. Key Switch On the right-hand side of the Self Loan Station are two keyholes, similar to an ignition switch. Inserting the key into the top keyhole (provided to you upon installation) and turning it clockwise powers on the unit. The bottom keyhole is to gain access to the front panel of the unit (which can also be performed by scanning the administrator’s card. – this is discussed later in this document.) Common Starting Pages: Screen Saver Page: This page helps prolong the life of the Self Loan Station by switching off the barcode scanner, RFID reader etc. and placing computer in standby mode. This page can also be used for displaying information and advertisements. An optional copyright disclaimer is available at the start session also. The patron must agree to the disclaimer before proceeding. If the patron declines the session will end.

User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 11 Borrow Items This function allows the patron to borrow library items. Selecting ‘Borrow Items’ prompts patrons to place their items on the RFID platform When the items are placed on the platform, they are instantly ‘read’ and displayed as a list showing title, asset number, due date and status. The portrait-oriented screen will display a list of up to 20 items, but we recommend that patrons are instructed to borrow up to 15 items at a time – a large stack of items may obscure the screen and become unwieldy. Items that have been successfully issued will have a green tick beside them. Those with a red error beside them indicate that the item has not been issued. Pressing the error button will provide more details on why the item was not issued. Patrons may add more items once they have removed previously scanned items. Once all items have been processed, the optional ‘Unlock DVD’ function can be enabled (if present), and the patron will be guided to unlock the DVD cases that they have borrowed.

User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 12 Enhanced Borrow Item This function allows the patron to borrow library items. It executes the same functionality as “Borrow Items” detailed above. However, it uses a more elaborate layout, requires reduced screen scrolling and is more suitable for libraries where the average number of loans per transaction is high. Borrow items and Enhanced borrow items are mutually exclusive i.e., only one of these functions may be enabled. Selecting ‘Borrow Items’ prompts patrons to place their items on the RFID platform When the items are placed on the platform, items are processed in sequence, but are listed in two columns. Successful items are recorded in a column on the right in a green colour. Failed items are recorded in a column on the left in a red colour. Touching the failed item will display an error message and instructions (this is customisable). It is also possible to issue a two part receipt clearly showing the successful and unsuccessful items separately. Patrons may add more items once they have removed previously scanned items.

User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 13 Once all items have been processed, the optional ‘Unlock DVD’ function can be enabled (if present), and the patron will be guided to unlock the DVD cases that they have borrowed. Unlock DVD Cases This is an optional function that requires the purchase of additional hardware and custom locked DVD cases. Patrons can place a mixture of book and DVD items on the pad during the “Borrow Items” procedure. If DVD items are detected, a list of borrowed DVD items will appear onscreen, and an onscreen animation will commence prompting the patron to insert the DVD case into the unlocker. If DVD cases that have not been borrowed are inserted in the unlocker, a message will appear on the computer screen, the unlocker will emit a red light and an audible alarm and the patron will be unable to fully insert the DVD case into the unlocker to unlock it. Once all DVD cases have been unlocked, patrons may proceed by selecting ‘Exit’, which completes the transaction, prints a receipt and logs the patron out. (The screen returns to the screen saver page.) Only Onetime™ lockable DVD cases are compatible with the DVD unlocker system. These cases case have a red and a green marker to show whether the case is locked or unlocked. LED lights on the integrated DVD unlocker guide the patron and will indicate a successful unlock When the DVD case has been correctly inserted into the unlocker, the DVD is unlocked, the light will turn blue and a message on the screen will instruct the patron to remove the DVD case from the unlocker and double check that it is unlocked by opening the case.

User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 14 When using the ISO 28560 data format, the system can be configured to only present the DVD menu when DVDs are borrowed. When using the Self Loan Station hardware, the system will present a list of borrowed items requiring unlocking along with the lock status as they are processed. Set items When Type 2 set management is used (where the first item of a set only is tagged, indicating the number of items that make up the set), a Set Verification message is displayed prompting the patron to confirm that they have placed all parts of the set on the pad. The Set item is then only checked out to the Patron if there a positive confirmation to the Set Verification message. Return Items This function allows the patron to return library items. Selecting ‘Return Items’ instructs the patron to place their items on the RFID platform When the items are placed on the platform, they are instantly ‘read’ and displayed as a list showing title, asset number, due date and status. Items that have been successfully returned will have a green tick beside them. Those with a red error beside them indicate that the item For the system to work properly, the DVD Cases must be tagged exactly as detailed in the Tagging procedure in the Retrospective tagging manual. The DVD Slicks must also be inserted in the correct orientation.

User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 15 has not been returned. Pressing the error button will provide more details on why the item was not returned. Patrons may add more items once they have removed previously scanned items. Once all items have been have been processed, patrons may proceed by selecting ‘Exit’, which completes the transaction, prints a receipt and logs the patron out. (The screen returns to the screen saver page). You will need to provide a suitable receptacle for patrons to place the returned items. You will also need to reprocess the returned items, using either the Sort Assistant or the Circulation Assistant to determine its sort criteria (ready to shelf, on hold etc.). Sorted Returns – One at a time sorting The ‘Sorted Return’ function is dependent on the SIP2 capabilities of the LMS and while it is available to all customers, it is only operational when used with a compatible LMS. FE Technologies can assess the suitability of your LMS for this function. A number of bins or other receptacles are required to be present adjacent to the Self Loan Station to enable patrons to place the items once they have been checked in. For example, a shelving trolley, a blue bin and a red bin can be used to sort items to be shelved; those that need to go to other locations and those that are on hold. Alternately, a shelving trolley and a bin may be used to sort items that are to be shelved from all other items that have alerts and hence need to be reprocessed. Note that only one item at a time can be returned. If more than one item is placed on the pad an error message will advise the patron to remove all items and place a single item only on the pad.

The contents of this document may not be released to a third party without prior consent of FE Technologies or its authorised representatives. User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 16 Standard returns and sorted returns functions are mutually exclusive i.e., only one of these functions can be enabled in a Self-Loan Station. If the patron places multiple items on the platform, an error message is displayed requesting the patron to remove all items and place them on one at a time The various sorting options available depend on the capabilities of the LMS used by the library. You also need a quick way of identifying items that have been incorrectly placed in the bin to be shelved. This can be seamlessly done using the “Find Exception Items” feature of the Mobile Scanning Unit. Selecting ‘Return Items’ instructs the patron to place their items on the RFID platform one item at a time. When an item is placed on the RFID platform, it is instantly read and processed. The system then displays the sort criteria. This page can be easily customised with text and image instructions for the patron. E.g. an arrow pointing to the left and a picture of a shelving trolley, instructing patrons to place the item on the trolley, for items that are to be shelved.

Up to 15 items can be placed on the reader pad of the Self Loan Station and a customisable graphic (for example a red or green bin and/or arrow to show the location of the bin) will show the patron where to place each item.

User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 20 Payment Options Various payment gateways are available to enable the patron to pay fines and charges. The Self Loan Station can be configured to work with the following gateways: EFTPOS: This gateway can be used to allow the patron to pay using their Bank Account via their savings or checking accounts. This option requires optional pin pad hardware to be purchased. This option also incurs additional third party setup and monthly fees and charges such as those from the bank and clearinghouse that clears the funds. Third party cost recovery systems: Integration to selected third party cost recovery solution (such as photocopy vending and print release systems) that uses a compatible central account management system is possible. The FE Technologies Library RFID system currently integrates to the following third party systems. If your current vendor is not listed below, a custom development can be undertaken to include your vendor (conditions and charges apply). • Bear Solutions • Monitor • InePro • Pharos • Papercut NOTE: You may be required to purchase account management modules and additional licences from your cost recovery solution provider. Stored value cards (as opposed to central account) are not supported. Coin acceptor: A compact coin acceptor is available as an optional add-on. The Self Loan Station has provisioning for installing this into the main unit. Note acceptor: A compact note acceptor is available as an optional add-on, but cannot be installed if an integrated DVD unlocker is also installed. Change dispensing is not currently supported. Payment options require an LMS that supports payments via SIP2 (Request 37 and Response 38). FE Technologies can provide you with tools to test if your LMS supports these functions.

User Documentation © FE Technologies 2015 Document No. 17.1 Issue No. 1.0 22 Work Flows and Skins: The Self Loan Station workflows can be customised to provide a personalised option of navigating the system functions. Some examples of the available work flows are listed below: “Borrow Items Only” Work Flow When this flow is activated, patrons scan their membership card at the ‘opening’ screen, and are taken directly to the ‘Borrow Items’ screen, which features a ‘Borrowing Status’ button to enable patrons to view their borrowing status as required. The ‘Borrowing Status’ screen can also feature the addition of a ‘Borrow Items’ button. “Return Items Only” Work Flow When this work flow is active, the ‘scan and authenticate” screen is usually not used which negates the need for the patron to scan their card. The screen can also feature a ‘Borrow Items’ button, which will take the patron to the ‘Scan Card’ screen. Receipts are issued for returned items. Custom work flow There are several work flow options included with the system. If one of the workflows provided does not meet your requirements, a custom workflow can be created to meet your needs. NOTE: Additional development costs may be applicable. Additional features The Member Alert, Session Timeout and Indicator features provide added benefits to both the patron and library staff. Member Alert Member Alert (below left) is used to communicate current messages to the patron, such as informing them that an item they had placed on hold is now available for collection (LMS Dependant).
