Introduction
The 3M™ Digital Staff Workstation consolidates a number of library functions
to enable staff to process items identified by either digital identification tags
or bar codes.
The workstation reads item identification information from existing media and
passes it to the library terminal connected to the library circulation system.
The system secures and un-secures 3M Tattle-Tape
™
Security Strips in items
as required.
The Digital Staff Workstation can:
a Check-in and Check-out – Send ID to circulation and secure or un-
secure the item.
b Secure/Un-secure – Change the status of an item’s security marker
without sending the ID to the circulation system.
c Send ID – Send the item identifier read from the digital identification
tag or bar code to the library circulation system.
d Verify – Indicate if a secured security strip is present.
e Read Tags – Read and display the digital identification tag
information.
The workstation can be set up to match its intended functional requirements,
whether as a backroom check-in unit or as a front counter/utility machine that
checks items in and out and occasionally is used for special processing of
items.

Flickering or color variations may occur on CRT-type monitors
placed in proximity to the Digital Staff Workstation due to its

monitors and the Digital Staff Workstation upper unit. The
required separation distance varies depending on the type of

Workstation.
In most cases, LCD-type monitors do not exhibit any type of
flickering, or color variations, when placed in close proximity to
the Digital Staff Workstation.
