You can follow the same process for checkout and renewal transactions. When a borrower places an item on the machine’s platform, 3M SelfCheck determines if the item is currently checked out to the borrower. If the item is not checked out to the borrower, 3M SelfCheck checks out the item to the borrower. If the item is currently checked out to the borrower, 3M SelfCheck renews the item.
To check out or renew items
1 | Place your library card on the platform. |
The screen displays where to position your card. After you place the card correctly, the screen shows your card in place. Leave your card on the platform throughout the checkout transaction.
The 3M SelfCheck machine scans the card, then displays a message such as: Checking Card Details.
If there are restrictions on your card, 3M SelfCheck displays a message saying that the card has restrictions. (To resolve this, you must go to the circulation desk.) The checkout session cancels.
If there are no restrictions on your card, continue with step 2.
2 | Enter your PIN (Personal Identification Number) and press the number key (#) on the key pad. |
The machine prompts you to place an item on the platform. The graphic on the screen shows where to place the item.
3 | Place the item on top of your library card with the barcode under the laser scanner. |
The 3M SelfCheck machine scans the item barcode.
If there are no restrictions on the item, 3M SelfCheck checks out or renews the item. The screen displays a message confirming the loan of the item and telling you when the item is due.
If there are restrictions on the item, 3M SelfCheck displays a message saying that the item cannot be checked out.
If you remove an item before it is successfully checked out, 3M SelfCheck displays a prompt saying that you removed the book before the loan was confirmed. Repeat step 3 to check out the item.
4 | Remove the item from the platform. |
3M SelfCheck prompts you to check out another item or to remove your library card.
5 | Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each item you want to check out or renew. |
6 | After you checkout or renew your item, remove your library card from the platform. |
A receipt may print if your 3M SelfCheck machine is set to print receipts.
7 | Take your receipt, if one is printed. |
