E-Card was approached by Vaughan Public Libraries as they were interested in a wireless printing solution for their patrons. The reason for this was that they were finding that more and more of their patrons were bringing their own wireless devices to the library and wanting to print documents from them.

Monitor's print management solution was a perfect answer to the library's wireless printing issue. To create a more user friendly environment for their patrons, the development team at Monitor added a new feature to Monitor Web Print allowing users to login using a 'User entered job ID'. This new feature allows Vaughan's library patron's to log into Monitor Web Print using a secure password that they have created.

The user would log into Monitor Web Print using their own User ID (this is chosen by the user at the time of logging in) to access the Web Print page. They would then select the location they wish to print to and upload their document, URL or email. Once the user has submitted the print job, they will then go to the print release station, enter the same User ID again and their jobs will be displayed ready to be printed.

This is available on Supervisor Net 6.6.3 and upwards. If you are interested in this feature please contact your local Monitor office or reseller.

Monitor's first installation of their new application is at the Skycity Casino in Darwin, Australia. Below provides an outline of what the casino required and how our My Coffee solution responded to those requirements.

Requirements for Skycity Casino, Darwin

• To offer a cashfree and unattended environment for the payment of beverages from coffee vending machines on site
• Payment is made using the patrons existing gaming card
• Ensure that the gaming system database is checked in real time to ensure that the patron has sufficient points in their account to vend a beverage from the coffee vending machine
• The solution must not require any card holder or database maintenance
• The solution must be a pure Ethernet solution

Solution

• An Ethernet mag card reader was fitted to all vending machines
• My Coffee is used as the gateway to their gaming system
• Monitor developed the interface to the gaming system for card holder authentication
• An Ethernet based enabling mechanism to engage the credit on the vending machine

For more information about this solution please contact your local Monitor office or reseller.

The new feature for Monitor Web Print allows a user to select their login method and use a 'User entered job ID'.

This is ideal for a library environment where casual users such as tourists, can print jobs using their own wireless device at the library. The user would log into Monitor Web Print using their own User ID (this is chosen by the user at the time of logging in) to access the Web Print page. They would then select the location they wish to print to and upload their document, URL or email. Once the user has submitted the print job, they will then go to the print release station, enter the same User ID again and their jobs will be displayed ready to be printed.

The feature was designed for a public library however it can be implemented in many different scenarios where printing is required in an unauthenticated environment. Examples of these are hotels, coffee shops, hospitals.

The other features that are part of Supervisor Net 6.6.3 include:

• Pop-Up now has the ability to remember the user's credentials so they don't have to enter them for every print job.
• The rule builder in Monitor Print now has the ability to automatically assign a Secondary code, such as a department or cost code to a print job. This is useful for print jobs originating at an accounting server or for only billing clients if there are more than a certain number of pages.

• Supervisor Net
• Monitor Print
• Monitor Web Print
• Supervisor Print Release
• Client Pop-up application
• My Monitor
• 3M fees and fines software on existing 3M SelfCheck Stations
• 4 Express Kiosks with barcode swipe reader

The solution allows patrons and casual users to pay for print and copy at a PC or using their internet-enabled device such as a laptop, smartphone, iPad or tablet using Monitor's print management solution including Monitor Print, Monitor Web Print, Supervisor Print Release and the Client Pop-Up application.

Using one of the four Express Kiosks located at the 3 library's, patrons can add value to their account with cash, coins, EFTPOS or credit card. The Kiosk's are also being configured to use Express's application launcher to run Monitor's Print Release Station software to enable the secure release of print jobs.

Both the City Library and North Melbourne Library have already had Monitor's 3M fees and fines software installed at the existing 3M SelfCheck Stations. Monitor's fees and fines software allows patrons to pay their fees and fines at a 3M SelfCheck station using their Monitor account or a credit card.

Part of the solution is the integration to the Aurora Library Management system which will allow patrons to pay their fees and fines through My Monitor and will synchronise all details inputted into Aurora to Supervisor Net.
