Adjusting the Time-out Period for Self-Serve Checkout

A Self-Serve Checkout station waits for a specified time period between keystrokes before it resets and requires a borrower login. This lets a borrower work in a self-checkout session without having to re-enter a borrower barcode as long as they press a key within the specified time period. Your system administrator can adjust the time-out period.

To adjust the time-out period for Self-Serve Checkout

1 Open the menu_option view in the Table Editor.

Horizon displays the List Menu Options window.

2 Double-click SelfCKO.

Horizon displays the Edit Menu Options window:

3 In the Arguments field, change the value to the number of seconds that you want Horizon Self-Serve Checkout to wait before requiring a new borrower login. (For example, if you want Horizon to wait for five seconds before resetting, enter “/t=5”.)

The default time period is ten seconds.

Note: To require the borrower barcode for each item AND provide a 5 second time out, you'd place both arguments together separated by a space: /1 /t=5.

4 Save your changes.
