Circulation - Self-Check Machine

The self-check machine should be shut down at closing and turned on in the morning. Use the Admin card to shut it down, or restart it. If the machine is frozen and must be manually restarted, wait 30 seconds between turning it off and turning it on again.

Load printer paper with the paper extending from the bottom of the roll through the front

During check-out if the red scan line disappears and won’t come back – print receipt and start over.  If that doesn’t work, Restart.
