Intended use




                                                                      y
The 3MTM Intelligent Return and Sorter System consists of modular components. Capabilities include guided check-in and
return of library materials and automatic item sortation when library patrons return materials unassisted by staff.




                                                          ar
The system is designed to be mounted into an interior or exterior wall. The 3MTM Intelligent Return and Sorter System is
designed for an indoor library environment and has not been evaluated for other locations or uses.

                     Pr



• Always turn off all system power and disconnect all power cords prior to performing any service or maintenance on
  this system.



Cautions
To reduce the risks associated with exposure to eye injury: Always wear safety glasses while installing or servicing any
part of the system.
To reduce the risk associated with sorter sweep unit pinch points/entanglement:
• Keep all bystanders and children out of the system sorter work area.
• Never reach hands or allow hair or loose clothing inside the sorter sweep unit while the system is running.
To reduce the risks associated with handling system components during installation: Always follow safe handling
procedures when handling system components during installation.
To reduce the risks associated with falling/impact: Do not lean on any top edge of a partially loaded book bin.
To reduce the risks associated with environmental contamination: Dispose of all system components in accordance with
all applicable regulations.

Introduction
System overview
The 3MTM Intelligent Return and Sorter System enables library patrons to return items unassisted by library staff. The system
communicates with your ILS to perform check-in procedures that would otherwise be performed by a librarian, and can be
configured to sort returned materials based on information provided by the circulation system. An offline mode is used when
the library’s automated circulation system is unavailable, and communications are supported over the library’s local area
network (LAN) using 3M Standard Interface Protocol (SIP) 2.0 with extensions for sortation.

The system can be configured to use one or two radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers to identify RFID-tagged
items being checked into the library. With the optional barcode scanner, the system can also be configured to use barcode
information with or without RFID. The system sends item information to the library’s circulation system to perform an
immediate check-in transaction, secures the item’s RFID tag or 3MTM Tattle-TapeTM Security Strip (EM), and then sorts the
item to the proper location.




                                                                     y
3M systems can read most barcode formats used by libraries around the world. The Intelligent Return and Sorter System
barcode scanner can be configured to read several different barcode formats at one time. The system supports 18 different




                                                         ar
barcode formats, which can be configured to enable the system to read your library barcodes.

The 3MTM Intelligent Return and Sorter System is a modular system. Modular components described in this manual include:
                                                in
• Induction System Model 2822 — This system is designed specifically for installation in an exterior wall, enabling patrons
  to check-in and return library items from outside the library building.
• Induction System Model 2820 — This system is designed specifically for installation in an interior wall, enabling patrons
                                  im
  to check-in and return library items, unassisted by staff, inside the library building.
• Sorter System Model 2840 (SL) — This sorter system is an optional unit that enables unassisted 3–way sorting of
  returned items.
                        el

• Standard Bin Model 2899 — This four-wheel sort bin is equipped with a spring-supported floor that reduces the distance
  between the sorter conveyor and the bin floor, reducing excess wear on library items.
This Owner’s Manual contains safety information, machine specifications, commonly used procedures, and other information
useful in the day-to-day operations of library staff.

Please take time to read this manual. It will help you understand how your system works. Keep it accessible when the system
is in use. It will serve as a reference guide when questions arise.



Introducing the system to library staff and patrons
The introduction of a self-service system fundamentally changes the material flow within the library. Therefore, 3M strongly
recommends that all library personnel be involved during the preparation phase. 3M recommends using this guide for
periodic training sessions with library staff.

Although the system is designed for intuitive use, 3M recommends that your staff should be prepared to assist library
patrons during system introduction.

Cleaning system monitors
Use pre-moistened towelettes that are sold specifically for monitor cleaning. If these are not available, you can use a
non-solvent based cleaner to dampen a soft cloth, but use it very sparingly.



Cleaning outdoor components
Use only approved cleaning products for faceplate components (metal, plastic, glass) exposed to outdoor environments.



Cleaning component exteriors
System components can become dirty with normal use and may require cleaning. To clean component exteriors, dampen a soft
cloth with water or a mild cleaning solution and gently wipe away dirt from the affected areas.

Solving problems



Login and communication problems
Problems encountered during the login process can be caused by changes to the host computer installation setup and
circulation system changes.


Unable to login to the host computer
3M Software Support may ask you to monitor the login process to determine if the Intelligent Return and Sorter System
is attempting to login to the host.

To set up session logging:
 1.   On the 3M Intelligent Return System Manager Support tab, click the Log Level box and then click the requested
      log level (All preferred).
 2.   Click Set Level, and then restart the system.

• Check whether the system was improperly turned off or otherwise disconnected from the host without properly logging
  off the system. This could leave the host connection active, which would prevent the system from logging in until the
  port is reset.
• Check whether the host port needs to be reset to allow a connection from the system.
