Hi Joe,
I don't have any customizations, but for the specific improvement you
mention, you might want to take a look at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1494748
It's available in 2.12

While we’re on the subject of user-friendliness of the built in
self-checkout, does anyone have any .tt2 modifications that they are
pleased with and would be willing to share?
I’ve had tweaking the scripting to make the navigation links more
button like (ie touch screen friendly) on my to-do list, but it’s
taken me an especially long time to get around to the first step of
teaching myself a basic amount of tt2 scripting.
Have a good day.

Interesting. There's nothing in the interface that tells the patron
that they can do that, or that tells them how. Patrons typically don't
have books in hand when they wish to renew, so they'd need to
understand that they could go to the Items out screen and copy and
paste the barcodes. Online instructions would help, but it still
wouldn't as user friendly as the method of renewal in My Account.

Terran,
Hrm... Renewal seems to work fine. You just scan an item that's
already checked out and it figures out that a renewal is in order and
available.
Also, just as a note, the UI got a nice update about a year ago to add
the ability to email receipts, including using patron defaults for
that.
HTH,
