Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self Check Out
Thank you everyone! I totally forgot to look at the action triggers.

There are four action triggers and their names all start with "Self-Checkout". As far as I'm aware the self check does not currently have a way to tell it to use Hatch.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self Check Out
Hi Elizabeth, The built in self check does not require hatch. The self check receipts are controlled by action triggers. The stock action triggers are named: Self-Checkout Fines Receipt Self-Checkout Holds Receipt Self-Checkout Items Out Receipt Self-Checkout Receipt Hope this helps, Michele -- Michele M.

Re: [OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Self check-out
Hi Millissa, Have you tried out Evergreen's built-in self-check interface along with a third party magnetic unlocker? It's not as fancy as an all-in-one unit, but it handles the basics well for minimal cost.

Hi Petra: Timely question! We just bought a 3M self-check (V series V3) in late December and have it running in production with Evergreen today. So I can't provide you with too much data on long-term likes/dislikes about the unit yet. We're using it in a pretty limited mode for the time being: * barcode scanning only (the unit also supports RFID) * printed receipts only (although the unit supports emailed receipts) * check-out only (the unit also supports renewals and check ins) As a bilingual institution, we like that it supports multiple languages. The major con with Evergreen was that the SIP implementation didn't support UTF-8 data the way that the 3M self-check expected it to. I posted patches that fixed the problem for us earlier today at http://markmail.org/message/px3oadhokmybpuoy - so that shouldn't be a con anymore, at least with this unit. The other con of the unit is that there is a very noticeable lag between the time an item's barcode is scanned and the self check provides any feedback to the user; it might be that the unit waits to get some confirmation from the Evergreen SIP server before popping up the "Getting item information" dialogue. Even if that's the case, I would be much happier if it immediately let the user know the scan was successful and that something was happening and am going to submit that as a request for enhancement to 3M. Similarly, there's a delay between the time the item check out information is displayed and the item is desensitized; if the user pulls the item away too quickly, the check out transaction is scrapped and the user has to start from scratch again.
