Quick Reference Guide
SelfCheck™ System Overview
Welcome to the 3M SelfCheck System!
Please take the time to read through this guide to help you
understand how your SelfCheck system works. Keep it accessible
when the system is in use. It will serve as a reference guide when
questions arise.
The SelfCheck system allows library patrons to check out books on
their own. The system emulates the check-in and checkout
procedures performed by a librarian. Also, the system can operate
in Off-line mode, independent of the library's automated circulation
system (ACS).
The system can be configured with a barcode reader that identifies
materials being checked out of the library and sends that information
to the library's circulation database. A desensitizer unit then
desensitizes the detection strip placed in or on the material.
SelfCheck systems can read most bar code formats used by libraries
throughout the world. The SelfCheck system bar code scanner can
read up to eight different bar code formats. Codabar and Code 39
are the most common formats used in libraries.
