Library patrons and casuals pay for print, scan, copy or PC time, without librarian input.
- Return your investment in months by cutting
administration time and costs
- Casual users buy low-cost
tickets for charged services
- Eliminate staff mediation in access to charged
services
- Increase revenue with greater collection of fees and
fines
- Save the environment by cutting toner, paper and power
usage.
Monitor's software authenticates all users before they print,
copy or scan or log-on to a PC. It checks the user
has sufficient funds in an account linked to a library
card or a paper ticket for payment.
By requiring a job to be released at the
printer by a library card or ticket
number, duplicates and waste is eliminated and
documents kept secure.
Track real costs of services
Our Supervisor software manages users' accounts and monitors
usage of multi function printers (MFPs), copiers and PCs. It
allows patrons to pay fees or fines at 3M self-check
kiosks.
Libraries can set pricing or quota knowing the real costs,
applying differing rates for staff, library card holders, students
or casual users.
Minimise user conflicts over PC access
by
provid
ing
self-service
options. Patrons or casual users can reserve or
pay blocks of
computer time, paying with
a card or low-cost paper ticket.
Easy re-load on the web, at a kiosk or touchscreen PC
Transferring funds onto secure library card accounts to pay
for services is easy. Patrons can go on-line, or add value from
coins, cash and bank cards at our reload kiosks.
And Monitor's library solution is both flexible and
modular. Libraries can offer card payment options for
new services or products into the future, such as
point of sale for old stock, library bags or gifts.
