Section One – Overview

Your library has acquired DigiNet e-Services PC Management System to improve customer services, to enable patrons scheduling and/or reservations of PC’s and/or curb/reduce printing costs by vending public print documents, and to ensure equity of PC and printer accessibility by all your customers.

DigiNet e-Services is a Print and PC Time Management Enterprise-wide Solution designed to track, charge and control print, copy and PC time usage for networked and local printers and computers. PC time can be managed for both authenticated patrons/users and unidentified guest users. DigiNet e-Services are marketed as two different products: PC-Cop PC Time Management and Scheduling, and DigiNet Print Management System.

PC-Cop PC Time Management and Scheduling SystemPC-Cop is a centralized system for the allocation and enforcement of time and use limits for public access computers. With PC-Cop controlling computer usage, patrons require a patron Name or a patron ID card and password/PIN to obtain access to specific computers. Authorization is given for a configurable amount of time.

In areas where computers are available to the public, quite frequently confrontations arise between staff and public PC users and often among the patrons themselves. With PC-Cop, the library now has the simplest and best way to control computer usage; patrons require a password to obtain access to a specific computer and authorization is given for a configurable amount of time. With PC-Cop, confrontations are eliminated. PC-Cop helps the library avoid these problems altogether by blocking access to the computer when a patrons predetermined time limit has expired. PC-Cop will not double-schedule a public access computer. PC-Cop has configurable warnings to alert patrons that their pre-assigned time limit is ending. This allows the patron to save, print, or exit the work started during the session.

Many institutions manually schedule patron PC use. This archaic process is subject to many inherent problems such as double booking a computer, assigning an incorrect computer to a patron, or confusing waiting list times. Staff intervention is often required to get the patrons off the PC at the end of their allotted time. With PC-Cop, walk-up users can be assigned the next available computer that runs the applications they require. If the next available computer is not convenient to the patron, a computer may be reserved by time and date.

With PC-Cop, computer availability is handled on a first-in-first-served basis. If PCs are not available, PC-Cop will inform patrons of the next available time and the next available computer. Using PC-Cop eliminates the pen-and-paper waiting list and reservation list headaches and the staff time required to manage your public use PC’s.

Smaller libraries with limited budgets may choose to install PC-Cop on each public PC to control access and to manage the session time for patrons. The Management Console allows the staff to manage sign up for PC's, extend sessions, and accumulate statistics. Using the Self-Service Module and a dedicated PC or a DigiNet Release Station PC as a Kiosk, the Library can allow the public to schedule their own use of PC's with no staff intervention.

To authenticate patrons with the library’s circulation (automation) management system, PC-Cop uses an Authentication Module to link directly with the Patron database via the 3M Checkout Protocol (SIP2), Innovative Interfaces Inc. Patron API, or Windows 2000 Active Directory. Based on the configuration and modules, installed sessions can be automatically extended if there is nobody waiting for a PC. PC's left unattended because of completion of a session early are automatically restored to their locked mode.

Statistics can be accumulated and reports generated about use, frequency, average session time, and numerous other reporting criteria. PC-Cop has extensive scalability in its operation. Numerous settings can be configured for individual library and/or school requirements. All system messages can be customized to suit individual preferences. System messages can be visual messages or tones. The applications to start each new session can be predetermined by the library staff, for example, each new patron can be presented with the library’s home page upon login.

DigiNet Pay to Print Vend and Management SystemThe DigiNet Pay to Print Vend and Management System manages network printing on public-access personal computers. The primary purpose of this software is to count pages and calculate the costs per page and visually advise the patron of total pages and costs prior to actually printing a job from the print release station.

In the Pay to Print network solution the user prints a job from any workstation and is asked to optionally type in a user name and password. The user can submit as many jobs as desired and when they are ready to retrieve their jobs, they simply go to the self-service Print Release stations. At this payment station the user selects their print job and then the Print command. They are asked to enter their optional print job password that was attached to the print job at the time of printing from the workstation. The user is asked to insert a card into the reader, open an online cash account, or insert coins and bills into the cash acceptor. The user then receives a confirmation containing the number of pages and their associated costs. If the user agrees, they select the command to send the job to the printer or they may cancel the job. If their card/online account has sufficient funds, or if they have inserted sufficient cash, the print job is released to the printer. If the patron does not have enough credit on their card/online account to satisfy their print cost they simply insert coins or cash to satisfy the amount. The card/online account will be deducted first, so patrons will never have an unusable balance on their card/online account as is common with other card systems. The self-service Print Release Stations may also be configured to show only the jobs of the person that logs in with an authenticated name and the card number. This addresses privacy issues, if they are of concern to the Library. The payment process is the same. This station also becomes the cash value adding station for vend cards. Patrons will no longer have to visit multiple machines to accomplish a simple printing task.

DigiNet allows the library to customize many of the instructions to library patrons in English or Spanish to facilitate the use of the Pay to Print and PC Time Management systems. For user convenience, all supplied CMS debit card meters display the value for any card that is inserted as well.

All products allow the staff to have staff cards or accounts to override the system. Usage can be tracked by department or individual staff member and by credit or debit method. The basic configuration of the DigiNet Print Tracking Solution is to allow the library to charge patrons for printing while maintaining a record of print usage.

In the online debit account mode, patrons open an account using their existing library card number, patron name, driver’s license number, or any account identifier the library chooses. Once an account is created the patron may deposit funds at a Kiosk using commercial credit cards (Visa/MasterCard, AMEX, Discover, etc.), and/or currency. Another option is to pay at a counter by giving staff money to make a deposit into the patron’s account. When a patron submits a print job from any controlled workstation they are requested to type in their account information and to verify this with a password they’ve created. If the login information matches the patron record in the DigiNet e-Services database, the patron is displayed a dialog box showing the job name, the patron’s account, the account balance, the cost of the job, and the new account balance after the job is submitted.

DigiNet e-Services is configured to operate in a "print and hold until paid" mode. In this mode the patron prints jobs from any workstation, including controlled personal laptops, and the print job is submitted to a storage bin on the Print Tracking Server. The patron can then visit any Print Release Station to pay for and print the job to a system-controlled printer. Payment for prints and copies can be made using an online cash debit account, or with coins and bills.

CMS has designed DigiNet e-Services to allow online account deposits using cash at the same Print Vend Release Station, allowing for reduced computer requirements. By adding more functions to the Print Vend Stations, CMS has converted the machine to a KIOSK for paying for prints and depositing funds into online debit accounts.

This KIOSK can also allow for scheduling PC usage to public PCs. It can also function with any commercial online Patron ID database system such as BLACKBOARD, DIEBOLD, CBORD, Dynix, Horizon, SIRSI, Gaylord, Innovative Interfaces Inc., etc. with the integration of the appropriate communication gateway.

Print jobs can be tracked when:

• Printing to a printer’s network port

• Printing through NT/2000/XP print servers

• Printing directly to a PC’s local parallel or serial port

• Printing to a facsimile or multi-function device (MFD)

DigiNet e-Services

Page 11: IT Administrator's Guide

Print jobs can also be monitored without user intervention. This is referred to as DigiNet “stealth mode”. Administrators can require that information be entered before print jobs are allowed to proceed.

DigiNet e-Services can also be also a system-wide printer expenditure tracking solution. It is a server-based software package that manages and monitors printing resources over wide and local area networks. The software components can be installed together on one server, or separately on different servers, depending on the size and server demand of the organization. In fact, each element of the installation may reside anywhere on the intranet. This valuable feature allows DigiNet e-Services to provide true enterprise-wide print tracking and PC management features. With this, DigiNet can track printing and PC usage in any size organization, whether it is located all in the same building, in separate buildings a block apart, a mile apart, 10 miles, apart, 100 miles apart, or anywhere on the globe through the Internet.

The decision to use multiple database servers is based on the size of the organization and the expected demand on the servers. Generally, there will be only one database, but in very large environments there may be a need to cluster multiple database servers acting as one database. There may also be, depending on the need, a combination of MSDE and SQL Server for replication between branches and a central site.

Having given a general overview of PC-Cop PC Time Management and Scheduling System and DigiNet Pay to Print Vend and Management System, it is appropriate to mention that both applications are extremely customizable. All of the features mentioned can be enabled or disabled according to the wishes of the administrator.

Database Server (DDS)

Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE is required for e-Services. The DDS consists of the e-Services database that is created in Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE. This contains the tables, queries, and stored procedures used by e-Services. DigiNet e-Services uses the free MSDE for installations with 5 or less Admin Consoles and Kiosks in any combination or Microsoft SQL Server version 7.0 or higher for institutions with more than 5 Admin Consoles and Kiosks in any combination to form a powerful management system. The Database Server will install and register the following files:

Print Tracking Server (PTS)

The PTS is also called the DigiNet Server in the Installer and in this manual. The PTS piece provides print authorization to all print servers or clients. Each print job is run through a series of Add-ins, each of which can check the authorization of the print job and cancel the print job if necessary. Add-ins can include:

DigiNet e-Services

Page 33

Page 34: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

• Parsing the print job.• Relaying records to the database.• Requiring a pop-up dialog box with each print job.

The Print Tracking Server will install and register the following files:

Release Station Server (RSS)

The Release Station Server piece works in conjunction with the Print Tracking Server (PTS) and provides print authorization to all Print Release Station Clients. Each print job is also run through a series of Add-ins, each of which can check the authorization of the print job and cancel the print job if necessary. Add-ins can include:

• Pay at workstation with Online Cash Accounts or Smart Cards• Release Station and pay with Online Cash Accounts, Cash, Magnetic Cards, Smart

Cards• Requiring a pop-up dialog box with each print job.

The Release Stations Server will install and register the following files:

DigiNet e-Services

Page 35: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

e-Services Self-Service Kiosk (Kiosk)

The Self-service Public-Use Kiosk allows Patrons to log in by scanning or typing in their Library Card and Password. The application then authenticates the Patron against the Library’s Automated Circulation System. Once authenticated, the application displays the Main Menu where Patrons can self-assign a PC session, pay for print jobs with online account or with coins/bills, and deposit money into their online account.

The Kiosk can be configured with different charge methods. It also features different looks and options to configure it and adapt it to the customer needs. The Kiosk offers a series of Add-ins that allow the end user to interact with the system in self-service operation. The current add-ins are:

• Main Menu – Provides a starting point for the user

• Print Release Station – Pay for a print job

• Money Transfer – Add cash to an Online Debit Account or to a Debit Card

• Reservation Station – Schedule a PC session

• Copy Station – Control Multi-functional Copier/Printer at the Kiosk

• Show Web – Display an User Environment Web page without Browser Controls+

The Kiosk will install and register the following files:

e-Services Admin Console (PC-Cop Admin Console)

The PC-Cop admin console helps staff assign and reserve PCs. It also provides several other Staff-only configuration settings when using the PC-Cop Personal Computer reservation management system. This component resides on staff machines only. It is used to help patrons by administering PC sessions and to allow staff to configure some options for internal use.

The Admin Console will install and register the following files:

e-Services Client (Client)

The Client Software notifies the PTS piece that a print job has been submitted and sends the job to PTS to be run through the Add-ins. The Client consists of a custom print processor and a mechanism for relaying print jobs to the PTS. The end user will be prompted with a pop-up dialog window that can also be configured only by the administrator. The end user is

DigiNet e-Services

Page 36

Page 37: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

given valid, authorized selections to narrow the tracking feature in order to charge back to an existing account, project, user name, group, etc. The Client also configures whether the current computer will be used as a workstation only, release station and workstation or CMS Kiosk for payments among other features. The Client piece also includes the PC-Cop software that manages time on a client as well as an Idle Time Tracking piece that reports any idle time to the client and requires proper action be taken.

The Client will install and register the following files:

Macintosh Clients (DigiNet Print Vend Only – optional)

Non-Windows clients are available for Macintosh for pay to print only. Personal Computer reservation system does not support non-Windows clients. The client software allows printing to be logged even if printing to a local parallel or serial port. When client software is installed, it is acting as the DigiNet Print Server piece. Client software is required if information is required from the user for each print job. The files required vary according to the platform supported. These pieces way function with slight differences from their Windows counterparts and usually require a different server to operate properly.

Section Four – Installing the Software

In Section 2 there is a checklist of required steps for the complete installation of all software pieces needed for a total working installation. One will find these very helpful in planning and performing the installation, and later supporting DigiNet e-Services. Please remember that not all functionality is required, as the software will be customized to suit your needs.

Before installing DigiNet e-Services, the following information should be gathered.

• Have Administrator login information and log in as a local Administrator when installing all products.

• Have DigiNet e-Services installers, Microsoft SQL Server or MSDE, Service Pack files for Windows. Service Pack can be downloaded at the Windows Update site.

• NetBIOS server names of all DigiNet e-Services servers. In this guide our server name will be “ECHO”.

• Choose and write down a name and password for the DigiNet e-Services service account.

• Have the license key and the Customer account name for the DigiNet e-Services software. Please email [email protected] if you don’t have one.

• Domain name.• Make sure all Windows Servers that will be running DigiNet e-Services have the latest

Service Pack installed before beginning installation.• Decide who will administer the site before beginning install.• Understand the installation steps before beginning.• Take your time and follow the instructions carefully. • Do not take short cuts.

Please note that spelling and word/sentence case are very important when installing the software. If, for example, one names a database or server as “BOOKS1,” one must, when referring back to that database or server, spell it exactly the same way. Any variation, for example, “books1” or “books 1” will cause an error message.

In the event the installation is cancelled, there are registry entries that must be reset. For specific instructions, please refer to the troubleshooting section in Appendix F.

Please note that all the system pieces can be installed on one computer or on multiple computers depending on the installation requirements. Please note the component naming conventions.

CMS, INC.

machine reboot. This command causes the print processor to be converted to CMSproc each time the workstation is rebooted. The registry entry is created in the following registry key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]. The software creates the following String Value: "ProcTool"="C:\\Program Files\\CMSDigiNet\\Client\\ProcTool.exe CMSproc -silent -convert"

Click FINISH to complete the client installation. When the installation of the Client software is complete, the computer should be restarted to activate the PC-Cop client desktop control login screen.

“Items” TabThe “Items” tab lets you select from a drop-down list the Kiosk items. Select your choices and click Add New one at a time. These choices depend on the product you purchased or installed, not all of them might be enabled for your organization. Usually you would select a Main Menu, a Release Station Client, a Money Transfer Station and, for PC-Cop customers, a Reservation Station.

The items can be added in any combination and in any quantity by clicking on the item and then clicking Add New. This version offers 6 menu choices: “Copy Station”, “Kiosk Menu”, “Money Transfer Station”, “Release Station Client”, “Reservation Station”, and “User Environment Web Page”.

The Items tab allows you to define tabs/buttons that are displayed in the Kiosk after login. As an example, the Kiosk screen below has 4 tabs along the top and 3 buttons in the Main Menu screen. These items correspond to the items listed in the “Items” property.

Each item in the Items tab has its own set of configuration settings that can be changed by clicking on the item and then the Configure button. Items can be

STARTING the PC-Cop Admin ConsoleThe PC-Cop Admin Console is a Staff-only user interface that enhances the Personal Computer reservation system and empowers the Library to administer PC time management functions without having to walk up to the individual PCs, all from the convenience of the Staff desk.

The Admin Console program must always remain open and the computer must always remain powered up while the Library is open as it controls the workstation sessions. If the Admin Console is shut down, all workstations in the branch would loose connection with the PC-Cop server and Patrons will not be able to log into new sessions. Existing sessions will not be affected. In case of Admin Console is shut down, the workstations will display an error message telling the Patron to please wait, connecting to server and that the Connection to the server has failed. When the Admin Console is started again, the workstations will show that they are again available.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 85

Page 86: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

The Admin Console is divided into two sections according to its particular functions, Sessions and Users.

The SESSIONS SectionThis section allows Staff to manually assign sessions to Patron. In the SESSIONS section, staff can oversee the Active Sessions; people waiting for next available computer, future reservations and create new session assignments. Staff can pull up a floating menu by right click in the list. This menu give them options like extend time, cancel any session or even send a message to an active session.

To schedule a session, click on the Add Session button and enter or scan the Library card number or User Name in the Reservation dialog box. If Guest is selected, the system will assign a temporary Password. This Password is different for each session. After a session is assigned successfully, give the Guest user the temporary Password. This is the only means by which the Guest will be able to login or unlock a session at the workstation.

In the Reservation dialog box, staff can schedule the Next Available session (makes a reservation for the selected user on the next available computer). If scheduling the Next Available session and a PC is not currently available, the user will be assigned to the Waiting List (a session is automatically scheduled as soon as a computer becomes available. Staff can also schedule a Future Reservation (allows them to select a site, a location, a computer and a time for a future reservation).

DigiNet e-Services

CMS, INC.

After the scheduled session is completed, the dialog box should be closed to allow the system to update the Active Session lists mentioned above. The console shows all active sessions and the time remaining for each session. It also shows if a Patron has logged in to a session or not.

Once a Patron has signed into a session, Staff can “End Session”, “Add Time”, “Pause”, “Un-Pause”, or “Send Message” at the Administrative Console. Activate these menu functions by right-clicking an active session.

End Session: This function allows Staff to quickly end a Patron’s session remotely. This function is not meant to permanently block a Patron from using the system.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 87

Page 88: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

Add Time: Staff can add more time to a Patron’s session, if desired. This is a similar function as the PC-Cop client’s “Extend” button. If the next available time slot has been reserved for another patron, Staff will not be able to extend a Patron’s session.

Pause: Staff can Pause a session remotely for a Patron. This is a similar function as the PC-Cop client’s “Lock” button. The Patron can un-pause/unlock a session at the workstation with his/her Password.

Un-Pause: If a Patron paused/locked a session and forgot the password, Staff can un-pause a session remotely for the Patron.

Send Message: Staff can send a one-way text message to the selected Patron’s session.

The USER SectionThe USER Section is divided into three parts:

1. User Session 2. Account Information3. Add New User

User Session PartThe User Session part allows staff to view the CURRENT and FUTURE session for the selected Patron. It shows the current status of all current and future sessions.

Account Information PartThe Account Information part displays cash transaction history for the selected Patron. Select a Patron by Finding, Typing or Scanning the Patron ID in the appropriate fields. Select the Account from the User Accounts list.

Additional PC-Cop Admin Console FunctionsThe Admin Console allows staff to perform other PC Management functions.

Configure MenuThe Configure Menu allows Staff to enter a PC- Cop license key as previously described. It also allows the configuration of client Messages to be displayed at all workstations controlled by PC-Cop.

ActionsStaff can “View PC Status”, “Shut down”, “Client Auto Update”, and “Enable/Disable Clients”.

View PC StatusThis window will display the PC status of every PC in the system. If a PC is offline (i.e., the workstation is physically offline or the PC-Cop client software is not running), it will display a red “X” icon. This is an indication that there is something wrong with the workstation and Staff should walk up to the workstation to manually check the status.

For an exception, since the Admin Console is a computer within the e-Services system but cannot be used by Patrons, it will always be displayed as an offline computer.

Section Seven – How the Software Works

How PC-Cop WorksThe software can be configured in many ways, depending on the requirement. The following illustration assumes the Library will require Patrons to use their Library card to use the Computer services at the Library.

How Patrons Schedule or Reserve a PCPatrons must have a valid Library Card and Password to print and reserve PC Time. Patrons can walk up to any available computer and log in using their Library Card number and Password to get a current PC session if the computer is available. Patrons can also assign themselves a current or future PC session at the Self-Service Kiosk.

Guests, including users with delinquent Library accounts, can assign themselves a current PC session at the Self-Service Kiosk by clicking the “Guest” button. The system will assign them a temporary Password. Guests can also walk up to the “Reference Desk” and can be assigned a session over the counter.

Patron Self-Service PC Scheduling and ReservationDigiNet e-Services allows patrons to self-schedule a PC session when they walk in the library. There are two ways they can do this. Patrons may login to any of the public kiosks located in the library by scanning their Library Card Number and typing in their Password or by walking up directly to an available computer.

At the Main Menu after logging in, a Patron may click on “Schedule a PC Session”, “Print Your Jobs” or “Add Money to Your Library Account”. The Main Menu has a 1 minute (configurable) time-out. If the Kiosk is not used within 1 minute after logging in, the Patron will be automatically logged off by the system. To logoff the Kiosk, the Patron needs to click the long red button at the bottom that reads, “When Finished, Click Here to Log Off”.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 105

Page 106: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

The Patron can click on the “Schedule a PC Session” TAB at the top or the blue BUTTON to display the PC Session assignment screen. In the screen, the Patron will follow four simple steps.

“STEP ONE”: The Patron clicks on the “Schedule a PC Session HERE!” tab.

“STEP TWO”: The Patron will Select a Library Site and Location within the Library.

“STEP THREE”: The Patron will Select a Schedule Time. If the Library does not have Computer Groups enabled/configured, the Patron will not need to select a Computer Group.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 106

Page 107: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

“STEP FOUR”: The Patron will Select a Schedule Session along with an available computer. The Patron will select the desired PC then click the ‘Accept’ button. The Patron can also choose to print a receipt confirming the assigned session.

The Kiosk will print a receipt, if selected, and display the Schedule Summary. If the Patron clicks Next, the Kiosk will return to the first screen.

Logging in at the WorkstationWhen a session has been assigned at the Self-service Kiosk or at the Admin Console by Staff, the workstation will be automatically protected and the Patron’s Library Card

number will be displayed at the workstation. To protect Patron confidentiality, the system will only display the last 5 digits (configurable) of the Library Card number.

When a Guest user has been assigned a session, the word Guest will be displayed at the workstation.

To log in at a session-assigned workstation, Patrons must only type in their Password. Walkup Patrons can log in at an available workstation by typing their Library Card number and Password.

When a Patron is validated, and the patron logs into their PC-Cop session, the system can display an Acceptable Use Policy.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 108

Page 109: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

When the Patron accepts the Acceptable Use Policy, the Patron will display the following dialog box with the available time in the session. Additionally, the Patron can lock (“Lock”) or end (“Logoff”) their session by clicking the appropriate button. The clock will display the remaining minutes in a session. When the remaining time reaches down to less than 10 minutes, it will also display the remaining seconds in the session. The session-extension button (“Extend”) will be enabled once 45 minutes (configurable) has elapsed.

The Time Left dialog box has a color coding feature that gradually changes color as the time runs out. When there are 15 minutes or less left in a session, the digital clock shows the numbers in yellow. When there are 5 minutes or less in a session, the digital clock shows the numbers in red. When there is less than 1 minutes left in the session, the digital clock flashes in red. If the Patron extends the session and time is added to the session time clock returns to the original color of green.

Logoff: The Patron can voluntarily end a session by clicking on the “Logoff” button. If the Patron chooses to end a session early, the remaining time will be available for the use in a different session the same day. However, time is not transferable from day to

DigiNet e-Services

CMS, INC.

day. When the Logoff button is clicked a confirmation box will appear and the Patron will be asked to confirm the end of session.

Lock: If a Patron clicks on the “Lock” button, the session will be locked for up to a grace period of 10 minutes (configurable) only. The time in the session will continue to count down. The Patron will be asked to confirm the Lock request. Once confirmed, the system will go back to the log in screen and will scroll a message saying that the computer is in use and that the Patron has stepped away. If the Patron does not return by the end of the grace period, the session will end and the machine will be made available to others.

Extend: The “Extend” button will appear 15 minutes (configurable) before the end of a session. It allows the Patron to automatically extend a current session for more time within the minimum extension requirements (IF the PC has not been reserved by someone else and IF there is at least 1 (one) other PC available in the Library). When the Extend button is clicked, a confirmation window appears. When the extension is confirmed, an Alert window will notify the Patron that the extension succeeded, and the “Extend” button becomes disabled. If the minimum extension requirements are not met, the Patron will be notified and the extension will not be granted.

Other Patron Session SettingsSession Login & Grace period: Patrons are entitled to unlimited 60 minute (configurable) sessions. Sessions are allows a 5-minute (configurable) grace period. If a Patron does not login within the grace period time, the session will be cancelled and the machine will be made available to others. When a session is assigned by a Patron at the Kiosk or by Staff at the Admin Console, the session will be automatically protected, and the Patron with the correct Password will be able to log in. Additionally, the workstation will display a message saying that the computer has been assigned to a user. The computer will also display the amount remaining in the Grace Period.

Scheduling sessions at other Branches: Patrons can schedule sessions at the local branch and optionally at the other branches if configured.

Session Extensions: Patrons can elect to extend their session if the machine they’re using was not scheduled for somebody else immediately following their session. The EXTEND button will be enabled only after 45 minutes (configurable) into their current session. After the first 45-minutes into their session, Patrons can keep extending their session up to ten (10, configurable) 30-minute sessions if the machine continues to be available.

Session Locking: Patrons can lock a session. This will hold their computer for 10 minutes (configurable). After 10 minutes the session is closed and the machine is made available to others.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 112: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

PC Idle Message: After 3 minutes (configurable) of inactivity the Patron will be notified of the Session Inactivity saying that the machine has been idle for 3 minutes. To continue the session, the Patron will need to click the OK. If inactivity continues, the session will end in 2 minutes (configurable). The inactivity period is 5 minutes (configurable).

Near End Warnings: Patrons will receive 2 dialogs warning them the session is nearing the end. The first warning will be given at 10 minutes (configurable) and the second will be given at 5 minutes (configurable). Patrons can always attempt to extend their current session.

Manually Overriding the PC-Cop Client (Admin Mode)The PC-Cop client software can be manually bypassed. This feature will allow Staff to “Re-activate” the client, to permanently “Close” the client, to “Restart the Computer” and to “Shutdown the Computer”. Additionally, you can view version information for the client software by clicking on “About”. To perform this, press the ALT and F4 keys at the same time. This will invoke a dialog asking for a password to enter the Admin Mode. The default Bypass password is “cms237”. It is imperative that the system administrator change this password using the e-Services Admin Console.

DigiNet e-Services

In Admin Mode, the PC Cop client software will display a white clock icon in the system tray indicating that the client is in Admin Mode. While in Admin Mode, the PC Cop client is still connected to the Admin Console on staff computer, so the computer will still display a status of OK (Online). A future build will display a status of “Admin Mode.”

You may right-click on the white clock icon in the system tray to perform a “Re-activate” of the client, to permanently “Close” the client, to “Restart the Computer” or to “Shut Down the Computer”.

Click on “About” to read the e-Service software version information.

How Pay-to-Print Works

Printing at WorkstationBlack & White printing is available at a charged of $0.10 (configurable) per page and Color at $0.25 (configurable) per page. Patrons can pay for their print jobs directly at the workstation using their online Library Card accounts or they can submit the jobs to the e-Services Kiosk and pay for the jobs using online account or cash (coins and/or bills in any combination). There are three available payment methods: Cash, Mag Card (if configured), and Patron Online Debit Account. In order for Patrons to pay and print at a workstation, they must have enough money on their Online Accounts.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 113

Page 114: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

Pay at the Workstation with Online AccountTo pay for a print job at a workstation, a Patron will print by selecting File->Print. The print job will invoke a payment confirmation window that will display the name of the document, the Patron ID, the name of the selected printer, and the available funds in the account. When the Patron selects OK to print the job, the account will be debited the Job Price amount and the print job will sent directly to the printer and the process ends. If the Patron clicks on Cancel, the job will be submitted to the Print Release Station for later retrieval.

Guests or Patrons Printing without enough Money on AccountIf a Guest user or a Patron who does not have enough money on an account prints a job, the print job will invoke a window at the workstation telling the Patron that no payment could be made at the workstation and that the job will be sent to a Print Release Station.

A second window will ask the Patron to type in a generic description (optional) for the print job as well as a job Password for privacy protection. This is a security feature to prevent print jobs form being printed/deleted by non-authorized people.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 114

Page 115: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

A third window will inform the Patron that the job was submitted and again tell them to walk up to the nearest release station to pay and print the job. It also reminds them to not forget the password.

Print a Job at the Print Release StationTo pay for their print jobs using coins and bills, Patrons with Library cards and Guests alike will log in at the Kiosk using the appropriate method. Patrons with Library cards will scan or type in the Library Card and enter a Password. Guests will simply click on the “Guest” button.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 115

Page 116: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

Once logged in, the Kiosk will display the Main Menu. The Patron will then click on the “Print Your Jobs” TAB at the top or the long blue BUTTON.

A Patron with a Library Card will see only their print job(s) in the “Print Your Jobs” tab. A Guest user that submits a print job will see a list of all the print jobs submitted by all the Guests. The job password option that was offered to the Guest user at the workstation at the time of printing the job is the only thing protecting the job for the Patron.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 116

Page 117: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

In addition to printing a job, the Patron can also “Delete” a print job (the delete function will require a job password), “Filter” for the desired job, and can get additional “Help”. The Filter button will allow a Patron to find a job by typing in a document property like a word in the name, the workstation name, or the description of the print job. The “Help” button displays a window with written instructions of how to print a job at the kiosk.

Some Kiosk may be configured in Simple Mode when there is only one printer at the kiosk. If so, the bottom of the “Print Your Job” tab will look similar to this:

In the “Print Your Job” tab, the Patron will click on the print job that needs to be printed and will then click on the printer they want to print to. When the Patron clicks on “Print” button, the software will display a window called “Confirm Payment”.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 117

Page 118: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

The Confirm Payment window displays the document name, the workstation from where the print job was sent, the Patron (User) Library Card number, the number of pages in the job, the number of copies in the job, the time the job was sent and the total job price. The Confirm Payment window will also display the Cash (Coin/Bills) and Online Account balances as well as the new balances after the transaction is completed.

In the above example, the cash balance is $0.00, which means the Patron has not deposited coins or inserted bills, and the second row shows the online account information.

NOTE: When printing from a workstation, e-Services will debit the online account. If the account is not funded or doesn’t have enough fund, the job will be sent to the kiosk. If the Patron’s account has enough fund but he/she chooses to pay for the print job with cash, the Patron can click the CANCEL button at the workstation and DigiNet will send the print job to the kiosk. The Patron can then walk up to the Kiosk to pay with cash at kiosk by inserting coins or bills into the vending unit.

How to Add Cash to Online Account

Making Deposits to Online Accounts and Checking Account BalanceTo make a cash deposit with coins and bills to an Online Library Account, Patrons with Library cards will log in at the Kiosk. This feature is only available to Patrons with Library cards. To log into the Kiosk, a Patron will scan or type in the Library Card and enter a Password.

Guests or people that click on the “Guest” button cannot use the “Add Money to Your Library Account “. If a Guest user clicks on “Check Balance” button in the “Add Money to Your Library Account” screen, an error dialog will be invoked informing the user that online accounts are not available to guest users.

Once logged in, the Kiosk will display the Main Menu. The Patron will then click on the “Add Money to Your Library Account” TAB at the top or long green BUTTON.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 119

Page 120: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

When the Patron clicks on the “Add Money to Your Library Account” TAB or long green BUTTON, the Cash Transfer Station screen will allow a Patron to view the current account balance. To deposit money, the Patron should follow the 3 easy steps: #1. Click on the ‘Check Balance’ button; #2. Insert cash into the coin and bill acceptor; #3. Verify the new balance and click on OK.

If the Patron has inserted cash into the cash acceptor and clicks on Cancel, the cash will be returned in the form of change. It’s important to note that if the Patron inserted bills, the returned change will be coins. The bill acceptor accepts $1.00 and $5.00. ($10.00 and $20.00 may be accepted if configured) The change tubes hold a total of $34.00 in change of combined denominations. If many Patrons insert bills and expect change, the change tubes will soon be depleted and the cash acceptor will indicate to use “Exact Change Only”. The system will stop accepting bills until there is enough change to dispense for each bill type. For example, a $1.00 bill will be accepted only if there is at least $1.00 in change.

When the Patron clicks on OK, the kiosk will display the confirmation screen and when patron clicks on Yes the kiosk will ask if the Patron would like a receipt. If so, it will print out a receipt.

Section Eight – MMC Console Administration

All backend configuration and administrative functions are preformed in DigiNet e-Services using the MMC interface. There several activities related to the maintenance and management of the MMC. The Console functions allow administrators to customize how data is organized and how it is reported. In most cases, e-Services will operate correctly without making any changes.

Administering e-Services

DigiNet e-Services has been designed for systematic administration (management). An understanding of the basic components of the MMC Console is very important. There are four (4) major sections in the management of the MMC. We will briefly discuss each section in its order so that it can easily be understood. Following the short discussion, we will discuss in detail certain important aspects that one will need to make changes.

It is not expected that one understand each of the areas initially, but in time, all of these areas should become more familiar to better utilize the powerful management potential this software provides.

DigiNet e-Services

CMS, INC.

Upon installation of e-Services, you should configure the backend system to the desired parameters. To do this, open the MMC Console and right-click on the “Database” field. In the drop-down list, click on Properties. The system will display a dialog box with 4 tabs.

The “Database Config Options” tab is used to configure environment settings.

The “Printing Config Options” is not to be used at this time. This has been added for future system expansion.

The “Computer Control Server Options” tab is used to configure the server parameters.

The “Computer Control Client Options” tab is used to configure the client-side parameters.

To edit any of these options, click on the parameter you need to modify and then click on Edit Option.

Computer Groups

Users

Each user is assigned to a network domain, given a user name, listing of the user’s full name, description of the user, the group name to which the user is assigned and an account number.

User Groups

All users can be assigned to a user group, which can be given any name. A unique description can also be entered for each group. The first group created should be the top-level group, for example, the name of the company. This top-level group can contain sub-groups with the sub-groups containing additional user groups. Each user can be placed into only one user group.

Each printer model is unique in one or more of the following characteristics: name of manufacturer, model name, model number, whether it prints color or is black and white only, whether it duplex prints or not, whether it collates for not whether it staples or not, and whether it punches holes or not.

Print-Device Price Schemes

Each printer must be assigned a price scheme name. All printers are set to the default price scheme that comes with DigiNet e-Services. This can be changed if needed. Before setting up DigiNet Printer Price Schemes, determine how pricing schemes should be managed. Pricing can be set by or at the

CMS, INC.

• Printer model, • Actual printer, or • Virtual printer

When the Administrator sets the pricing scheme for the Printer Model

• No pricing scheme is required for the Actual Printer and the Virtual Printer because they inherit this pricing scheme when they have none of their own.

• The Actual Printer and Virtual Printer may use this Printer Model pricing scheme.

• The Actual Printer may have its own pricing scheme that will override the Printer Model pricing scheme.

• The Virtual Printer may have its own pricing scheme. If it does not have its own pricing scheme, it will inherit the Actual Printer pricing scheme if it has one or the Printer Model pricing scheme if the Actual Printer has no pricing scheme.

In other words, when the Virtual Printer has no pricing scheme, it will inherit the pricing scheme of the Actual Printer. If the Actual Printer has no pricing scheme, both the Actual and Virtual Printers will inherit the Printer Model pricing scheme that is the program default until it is changed or until the pricing scheme of the other printers are changed.

Printers

Several Actual Printers may be the same printer model. Each Actual Printer can be shared with users from different machines using different names; this is what DigiNet would call an instance of a Virtual Printer. Virtual printers are given a name and are assigned a computer name, meaning the computer from which they receiving print jobs. They also have a printer device name assigned to them as well as a network share name. A printer driver is assigned to the virtual printer along with a price scheme name.

Print-Device GroupsArea Four – Reports

One of the major purposes for the reports generator is to make costing analyses and accounting for printers, users, groups, accounts, jobs, projects, estimations, proposals, etc. The validity of the reports generated will be determined by data input accuracy and the pricing scheme established. The pricing scheme defaults that come with DigiNet e-Services should be reviewed often to determine if they meet the needs of the company. They can easily be changed to reflect actual costs. The costing schemes should be valid indicators of the true costs.

The reports that are available from DigiNet Report Generator are those specific to information contained in the web site database server. Such data can provide information

DigiNet e-Services

with respect to printer usage, utilization and cost by whom, where and when. The content of the reports depend upon the information required by the Administrator.

A note on Security

Windows NT can be used to:

• Restrict user access to the printer control panel. Users can be denied the rights to manage the printers on their machines.

• Keep users from changing the print processor configuration from the DigiNet print processor system policies.

• Restrict users from renaming the print processors in order to add non-tracked printers.

Appendix D – Differences Between SQL Server & MSDE

SQL Server Desktop Engine is the same engine upon which Microsoft SQL Server 2000 is built. With two limitations, Desktop Engine provides full SQL Server capabilities.

When delivered in Desktop Engine form, Microsoft has limited SQL Server in two ways:

o No single database can exceed 2 gigabytes in size. However, each Desktop Engine server instance can contain many databases, each of which can be up to 2 gigabytes in size. Each computer can host up to sixteen instances of Desktop Engine.

Performance will rapidly decline when more than five simultaneous users use the database engine at the same time. With five users or less Desktop Engine will operate with full SQL Server speed.

Appendix E – Gates Foundation Computers

Gates computers are PCs running Windows NT 4.0 Workstation and are setup to use System Policies. System Policies are setup using the Policy Editor, which creates files with a POL extension. If the PCs log into a NT domain the POL file resides on the server in the NETLOGON share (C:\winnt\system32\repl\import\scripts). This file is named NTCONFIG.POL. If the PC is not logging into a domain the POL file is located in C:\Policies.

Open the POL file with the Policy Editor by logging in with the Administrator account (EXEC on Gates computers). Click on Start > Programs > Administrative Tools (Common) > System Policy Editor. Once in the Policy Editor click on File > Open and browse to the POL file. This will show all the profiles that the PCs can use. Double-click on the profile you wish to edit, then scroll to the System heading. Expand System > Restrictions and then click on Run Only Allowed Windows Applications. If the box at the bottom of the screen has a check, then this profile is configured to only allow certain programs to run.

You must add the executable file name you would like to run under that profile. To do this click on Show to display the following dialog.

Appendix F - Troubleshooting

Concern: Print job is not logged and Event viewer shows the error “Unable to access the Add-in list in the registry…”

Solution

Add the service account being used to run the DigiNet Print Tracker to the local Administrators group.

Concern: Event viewer displays: Add-In CMSnet.AddInManger.1 reported the following error: Handled Exception 0x80040E09 : IDispatch error #3081

Solution

The Windows account being used to run the DigiNet Print Tracking service does not have rights to the SQL database. In SQL Server Enterprise Manager, assign the User Rights to the database. See the section Creating SQL Server logins in SQL 7.0 and SQL 2000.

Concern: You receive the following error when re-installing after a failed installation.

Solution

Open the Control Panel and select Services. Stop the "DigiNet e-Services Print Tracking" service. Continue the re-installation.

Concern: Registry entries from cancelled installation are blocking reinstallation.

Solution

Run the RegEdit program. Expand the HKEY LOCAL MACHINE>SOFTWARE>CMS, INC. keys. Delete the keys named “PrintServer”, “Server” and “Database”. Also under HKEY LOCAL MACHINE key, expand SYSTEM>CONTROL SET1>CONTROL>PRINT >ENVIRONMENTS>WINDOWS NT x86> PRINT PROCESSOR. Delete the “CMSProc” key. You will now be able to reinstall with no prior registry settings.

Concern: When running the PopUp server on a Windows 95 machine you get error messages about missing Ws2_32.dll or Wshelp.dll.

Solution

The Winsock 2 update must be installed. This file is available from Microsoft.

Concern: Administrator cannot delete CMSProc.dll.Solution

This is a three-step process. First, at the command prompt, type NET STOP SPOOLER then enter. Next, in Windows Explorer, navigate to the DLL in PROGRAM FILES> WINNT>SYSTEM32> SPOOL>PRTPROCS. Select the appropriate file and delete. Lastly, return to the command prompt and type NET START SPOOLER.

Concern: A print job from a Windows 9.x machine is causing the DigiNet popup dialog to display on the server.

Solution

Windows 9.x computers require the DigiNet Print Server software to be installed when PopUps are required.

Concern: The following message is displayed in the Event Viewer, “The print job is too large for the spooler.”

Solution

When a print job goes to the server our program asks Windows for the memory needed for the print job. If Windows tells us there is not enough memory we cannot process the job so it is canceled. The server needs additional virtual memory or RAM. To increase virtual memory, Right-click on My Computer and select Properties. Click on the Performance tab and click Change to increase the size of the paging file.

Concern: Client print jobs are deleted without being printed.Solution

This occurs when client PCs, with the Pop Up Dialog Window software installed, have names consisting of all numbers. Windows recognizes an all numeric NetBIOS name to be an IP address and tries to resolve it in that manner. When Windows cannot resolve the name, the print job is deleted. Rename the PC with an alphabetical or alphanumeric name.

Concern: When printing from the client, a Windows error is generated: The RPC server is unavailable.

Solution

Check to see that the computer running the Print Tracking Server is turned on. If that machine is running, check the registry settings for DigiNet (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\ CMS, INC.) to see that they match your true layout. The entries are case sensitive. Change the entries if necessary.

Concern: Some print jobs are being cutoff or print jobs are printing pages with incomplete information.

Solution

Make sure the correct versions of drivers for the specific printer are installed and also for the correct OS. Make sure that both server and client are using the same driver version, for example, PCL6. Set a default configuration for printer drivers and set all printers to the default.

Concern: Print jobs remain in the queue after successful printing. Solution

Check the properties of the printer in question and click on the Scheduling tab. Deselect the box for Keep Documents After They Have Printed. Check this setting on both server and client.

Concern: When using the DigiNet IPRINT Service, print jobs from Macintosh clients will not print. The Event Viewer has the following DigiNet entries:

Add-In PopUpMgr.PopUpAddIn.1 reported the following error: Handled Exception 0x80070057 : The parameter is incorrect.

Add-In PrintLog.LoggerAddIn.1 reported the following error: Handled Exception 0x80004005: Unspecified error, From PrintLog.LoggerAddIn.1, Cause: Missing User Name: User Name has not been set

Solution

The Macintosh client has not been configured with a network identity. In the client File Sharing Panel, enter an Owner Name, Owner Password and Computer Name. If the problem continues, the System Administrator may need to edit the Print Tracking Server hosts file, adding the name and IP address of the Macintosh client which is not responding.

Concern: Installing 2nd (or more) Print Tracking Server has generated a Service Account error on new Print Tracking Server.

Solution

Make sure that the original Service Account is a Domain Admin account. The default installation is geared for a Local Admin account but will not work for multiple Print Tracking Servers. Create a Domain Admin account and assign rights from that account.

Concern: After installing the Print Tracking Server and the Database Server on two separate computers, print jobs enter the print queue but are cancelled and deleted. The event viewer reads:

Add-In PrintLog.LoggerAddIn.1 reported the following error: Handled Exception 0x80040154: Class not registered

Solution

The DigiNet Database Server requires a file included in the Print Tracking Server installation. Take a copy of the file CMSDAL.DLL from your Print Tracking Server, in a local folder; ie. \program files\diginet and copy it to the hard drive of the DigiNet Database Server computer. On the DigiNet Database Server, open a command console and navigate to the folder where you copied the CMSDAL.DLL file. Type <regsvr32 cmsdal.dll + ENTER> to register the file.

Concern: The CMSProc Print Processor does not appear as a print processor choice in the Printer Properties after installation of DigiNet Print Server software.

Solution

From a command console, navigate to the DigiNet directory (ie.; c:\program files\diginet) and type proctool cmsproc –install. This will add the processor to the available list.

Concern: Print jobs continually hang in queue and spooler stalls.Solution

This is a known symptom of an overloaded Windows NT 4.0 server acting as a print server. This and other Windows NT 4.0 printing limitations have been fixed with the release of Windows 2000 and are discussed at length in this Microsoft Webcast http://support.microsoft.com/servicedesks/webcasts/wc050200/wc050200.asp?fr=1.

Visit http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q179/1/56.ASP for information about expanding the print serving capabilities in Windows NT 4.0. The Microsoft Knowledge Base article details registry edits designed to allow more ports to be used for LPR printing.

Concern: DigiNet displays the error No Raw Data.Solution

Install the latest driver from your manufacturers website. Remove the check from “Enable advanced printing features”.

Concern: Sending a print job from a Release Station Client displays the error No Raw Data.

Solution

Open the Registry editor and navigate to the CMS, Inc. key (HKEY LCOAL MACHINE \ Software \ CMS, Inc. \ CMSNet \ PrintTracking ). Add a DWORD value key to the PrintTracking key with the name AlwaysSendJobData and enter a value of 1.

Concern: The public Kiosk is frozen—it won’t scan library cards, patrons can’t type on it, and the letters that scroll in the banner are scrolling VERY slowly.

Solution

Check the PCs to see if they have received a message that they cannot connect to the server. If they have not received this message, reboot the public Kiosk by closing the screen and then selecting “Shut Down and Restart” from the Start Menu of the Kiosk.If the PCs do receive the message about ‘cannot connect to server’, then the admin console needs to be rebooted following the steps below:

1. Close the “Staff Kiosk” program.2. Close the PC-Cop Admin Console program.3. Reboot the admin console selecting “Shut Down and Restart”

from the Start Menu of the Kiosk.4. After the console has rebooted, open the PC-Cop program.

Check that the message is gone from the PCs and that the patrons are able to use the computers. Check that the public Kiosk is able working also.

Concern: The keyboard will not type the patrons PIN number when they type it in and it seems to be frozen.

Solution

Unplug the keyboard cord from the barcode scanner cord and re-plug it in. Have the patron rescan their barcode.

Concern: No one is able to log on to any of the PCs, their library cards will not display on the PC, their reservation time has arrived and the grace period has not passed, their PC shows that the computer is available for one or two hours, and when you try to log them on with the public Kiosk, the system will tell them that their computer is in use.

Solution

On the admin console, check to see if two PC-Cop Admin Console programs are running. If they are, close one. Close all instances of PC-Cop (there might be one or more sessions running on the console.) Open up a new PC-Cop session. Verify that the patrons are able to log on.

Concern: There is a delay in an immediate reservation. A patron makes an immediate reservation on a PC. They go to the PC and it indicates there are 1-3 minutes available on the system and the time for their reservation has passed. Their library card number is not displaying.

Solution

There is a time delay between all the computers that control registrations. To correct this problem, synchronize the time on the admin console, the pubic Kiosk, and the main database computer.

Concern: Printing is not working on one PC, but works on all the other PCs.Solution

Probably the PC has a print job that is preventing other print jobs from this PC from going to print. When this job is removed, usually print jobs will work again. This happens when the print job is too large for our printer, or the document includes unusual fonts or non-print computer ‘escape’ codes. Use these steps to check and clear a print job:

1. Press and hold the ALT key and at the same time press the F4 key.

2. Type in the bypass password to exit PC-Cop.3. In the Start menu, click on “Printers and Faxes”4. Click on the “Black and White” printer icon. A list of print jobs in

the print queue will display.

DigiNet e-Services

Page 158

Page 159: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

5. Click on the first one to highlight it. Delete it by selecting Cancel or Delete under the “Document” menu.

6. The next document should move to the top and list a status of “Printing”. If it does not, repeat these steps until a job does.

7. If there are no jobs listed under the “Black and White” printer, follow these instructions for the “Color” printer also.

It is important to note that our printers are four years old and will not print ‘everything’.

Concern: Prints are not showing on patrons’ accounts. All the computers can print the for-free copies directly to the printer. But when they need to pay for a print job, the print job will not show on the Print My … page of their record on the public Kiosk. Patrons are still able to make reservations on the public Kiosk.

Solution

The network cable on the back of the public Kiosk computer is probably loose. Push on the cable to be sure it is completely pushed in. Log the patron off the Kiosk if they are not already. Then re-log the patron onto the Kiosk and see if the jobs appear in their print list. If it doesn’t, then call Helpdesk for assistance. Note: Staff has the ability to print these jobs for patrons (for free) from the admin console.

1. Using the Staff Kiosk program, enter the library card number and PIN of the library card that is taped to the top of the admin console monitor. This is known as the ‘super-card’.

2. Click on the “Print My…” tab at the top of the screen. This will display all the print jobs for the day that have not been paid for or printed by the patrons. These jobs can be sorted by the time or workstation number by clicking on the top of these columns. This is helpful to identify the correct print job.

3. To print the job, click on the job, click on the printer to be used, and click print.

4. A password screen will display for the print job. If the patron passworded their job, you will need to input it here. Otherwise, just click the OK button.

5. A final screen will display showing the cost for the item that will be ‘unlimited’. Click on the Accept button.

6. The print job will begin to print.7. Log off the ‘super card’.

Concern: Coin box is not giving change. A patron pays for a print job that is less than $1.00. They deposit a dollar bill and do not receive change.

Solution

There is probably a jammed coin in the change tubes of the coin box. Follow these instructions to check:

1. Use the silver key to open the back of the coin box.2. Press the ‘No’ and the ‘Yes’ buttons together (at the same time)

for about 5 seconds. The display on the coin box will change to “Cash” and flash a dollar amount.

3. Press the “Yes” button four (4) times to progress through the “Box”, “Bills” and “Tubes” amounts until the display reads “Done?”

4. Press the “No” button. The display will ask if you wish to dispense a nickel. Press the “No” button. A nickel will drop into the box. If it does not, then this tube probably has a stuck coin. To clear the stuck coin, shake the coin box a little and try to dispense one again by pressing the “No” button again. If this does not work, unplug the power from the unit, take the tubes off the machine and use a pointed instrument to ‘un-stick’ the coins.

5. If a nickel does dispense in step ‘d’ above, then press the “Yes” button to move to the dime tube. Press the “No” button to dispense a dime. If none drops follow the steps in ‘d’ above to clear the tube.

6. If a dime does dispense in step ‘e’ above, then press the “Yes” button to move to the quarter tube. Press the “No” button to dispense a quarter. If none drops follow the steps in ‘d’ above to clear the tube.

7. Press the “Yes” button one more time for the display to read “Done?”. Press the “Yes” button.

8. Close and lock the unit.9. Press the coin return button to get the correct change for the

patron. If the correct amount does not dispense, call the CMS hotline at 800-765-4656, ext. 105. Leave your name, the library name, the phone number at the service desk, the machine number and the problem (stuck coin that can’t be cleared).

Concern: The exact change light (red) is lit on the coin box and patrons complain that they cannot use five or one dollar bills.

Solution

DigiNet e-Services

Page 160

Page 161: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

The coin box is low on change and does not have enough to provide change. The minimum amount of change that the machine must hold to turn off the exact change light is $0.85 in nickels, $1.40 in dimes, and $0.75 in quarters. Change can be added to the box using these procedures:

1. Use the silver key to open the back of the coin box.2. Insert coins into the coin box from the top of the unit. The

display screen will show how much is being input. The unit will accept up to $5.00 in coin at a time. Any amount deposited over $5.00 before proceeding to step ‘c’ will drop into the coin return slot.

3. Press the “Reset” button.4. Repeat steps ‘b’-‘c’ above until all the coins have been

deposited.5. Close and lock the unit. The “exact change” button should be

off.

Concern: When making Personal Computer reservations or assigning PC sessions at the Admin Console, the session times don’t match.

Solution

This is related to the time synchronization of the Admin Console, Kiosk, and Database server. See the following for instruction of time synchronization. The time clock in Admin Console and Kiosk needs to be synchronized with Database Machine. To do this,

Concern: The Coins are Dropping Straight Through (the bypass may or may not work).

Solution

The vend (coin) tower has either developed a fault, there are not enough coins in the vend tower, or the overflow box is full.

1. Verify that the "No Change" light is not lit. 2. If the "No Change" light is on, the vend tower will not accept any

coins higher than price point. Add coins per fill instructions located inside the vend tower.

3. If that doesn’t work, open the vend tower and make sure the overflow (cash) box is not completely full. If it is, empty the overflow box per the normal process.

4. If neither works, call 1-800-765-4656 for service.

Concern: The Vend Tower's Display is Blank, it Rejects all Coins, the Bypass Key Does not Work, and the LED is Not Flashing

Solution:

Page 162: IT Administrator's Guide

CMS, INC.

There is no power to the vending system.

1. Verify the vend tower is plugged into the power strip located inside the copier stand and it is turned on. If the vend tower is plugged in and has power, try another plug on the power strip.

2. Verify the power strip is plugged into the wall outlet. 3. If all of these are properly connected, call 1-800-765-4656 for

service.

Concern: The "No Change" Light Continues to Stay Lit When Coins are Loaded

Solution

The coin tubes may not have been filled correctly, or the coin value is greater than the vend price.

1. Reload coins following loading instructions located inside the vend tower.

2. If the value of coin being used is greater than the price point, use a coin denomination equal to or lower than the price point.

3. If the problem persists, call 1-800-877-2679 for service.

Concern: The Vend Tower will Accept Coins, but No BillsSolution

There may not be sufficient money in the change tubes to make change, the bill acceptor is full, or there may be a problem with the bill acceptor.

1. Verify the "No Change" light is not on. If it is not on, go to Step 2. If the "No Change" light is on, load coins according to the loading instructions located inside the vend tower.

2. Check the bill acceptor to insure that the light is steady. If the light is flashing, there is a problem with the bill acceptor. Call 1-800-765-4656 for service.

Concern: Bill Acceptor on Vend Tower will Not Accept any BillsSolution

There may not be enough change in the coin changer. The vend tower will not accept any bills if there is less than $5.00 in change in the coin changer.

1. Try loading more change according to the loading instructions located inside the vend tower.
