Color Monitor
A color monitor mounted on top of the SelfCheck system displays
graphic instructions, diagrams, and information to guide the patron
through the operation of the SelfCheck system.
Bar Code Scanner
Your SelfCheck system may use one of two types of scanners,
depending on the configuration of the SelfCheck system and the
placement of bar codes on your library items. A visible single-line
scanner reads perpendicular bar codes. The scan line should be
visible whenever the system is on. An 8-line raster scanner with an
approximately 1-inch wide read area reads parallel bar codes.
A status LED is mounted on top of the scanner. The LED is visible
through the observation hole in the scanner housing. When a good
bar code reading occurs, the LED changes from orange to green.
When a bad bar code reading occurs, the LED changes from orange
to red.
Keypad
The keypad is a standard module that is used primarily to enter
personal identification numbers (PINs). PINs can only contain
numeric data (0 through 9).
The keypad may also be used by the library staff to select certain
administrative or diagnostic functions. It has 12 keys styled after the
standard touch-tone telephone keypad (including * and # keys).
