Exit Monitoring
The Intelligent Sensor protects exit/entry aisles against unchecked library materials
leaving the secured area by determining whether tagged items have checked (authorized/
no alarm) or unchecked (unauthorized/alarm) events.

Programming Tags
The Tag Programming Station enables libraries to read and create their own RFID tags
and print barcode labels. This can also be used to convert library materials with barcodes
to RFID tags programmed with the barcode value. A tag format file (created by
Checkpoint field service staff using the Tag Programming Application) is used to program
the tags in a compatible format. Tags are programmed by printing them with the Tag
Programming Station. See “RFID Tag is interrogated” on page 1-6 for an illustration of
this process.
Off-line Processing
The Off-line Processing feature enables the Intelligent Library Controller and
Self-Checkout Stations to continue operating when disconnected from the library’s
circulation system. While the circulation system is offline, the Intelligent Library
Controller records significant events on the system, which are then reported to the
circulation server when synchronization reoccurs. For example, at the time of
synchronization, the due date is sent to the circulation server.
When Off-line Processing is turned on, the word ON appears next to Off-line Processing.
The feature is turned on or off by Checkpoint field service personnel by setting a table
parameter on the Intelligent Library Controller. If using the Bridge Interface (“ILS
Without an LMS Connection”), Off-line Processing should never be turned on.
