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 System
PC-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, PCCop 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 System
The 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

CMS, INC.
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 eServices 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
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 34
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:
DigiNet e-Services
Page 35

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
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.

 Type the NetBIOS name of the PC-Cop Server/Admin Console and Print
Tracking Server (DigiNet Server) computers and check the options needed
and click INSTALL.
The Client installer offers 3 options that must be explained:
Run in Release Station Mode – This option tells the Client software that it
will be reporting to a release station in a Release Station environment. This
option will always be checked unless you are configuring the system to allow
for payments at the workstations only using Online Debit Accounts without the
ability to submit to a Release Station.
Convert all printers to use CMSproc now – This option will convert all
printers on the workstation to controlled CMS printers. The conversion called
a program on the workstation called PROCTOOL.exe enables a few switches.
This program runs and converts the Print Processor to the controlled
CMSproc.dll. The processor can be manually set back to WinPrint (the default
Windows print processor) by going to the Advanced tab of the print driver
properties. Click on the Print Processor button and will see the list of
available processors installed on the workstation.
Convert all printers to use CMSproc when reboot – This option makes a
registry setting to automatically run the PROCTOOL.exe utility at each
DigiNet e-Services
Page 54
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\CurrentVersi
on\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. The PC-Cop client loads from the registry in the
following key:
{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Ru
n]. The software creates the following String Value:
"PCCopClientNT"="C:\\Program Files\\CMSDigiNet\\Client\\PCCopClient.exe"
NOTE: Check the naming convention your network uses. If a network PC has an all
numeric NetBios name, Windows will try to resolve it as if it were an IP address. The
Pop Up Dialog will never appear and the print job will be cancelled if the PC name
cannot be resolved. Rename the client PC with an alphanumeric name. Make sure
communication happens between server and clients.

STARTING the PC-Cop Admin Console
The 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
CMS, INC.
The Admin Console is divided into two sections according to its particular functions,
Sessions and Users.
The SESSIONS Section
This 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
Page 86
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
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 unpause a session remotely for the Patron.
Send Message: Staff can send a one-way text message to the selected Patron’s
session.
The USER Section
The USER Section is divided into three parts:
1. User Session
2. Account Information
3. Add New User
User Session Part
The 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 Part
The 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.
DigiNet e-Services
Page 88
CMS, INC.
Staff can add or deduct money to the selected Patron account by clicking the Debit/
Credit button. Type in the amount to Debit or Credit amount in the Amount field.

Accounts can also be given an Account Limit. To set a limit to a Patron Account,
click the Account Limit button. Accounts that are set to “No Limit” are considered
Staff-only accounts. The system will not charge Staff-only Accounts for print
services.
Add New User Part

Additional PC-Cop Admin Console Functions
The Admin Console allows staff to perform other PC Management functions.
Configure Menu
The 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.
Actions
Staff can “View PC Status”, “Shut down”, “Client Auto Update”, and “Enable/Disable
Clients”.
View PC Status
This 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.
DigiNet e-Services
Page 91
CMS, INC.
Shut Down
This window allows Staff to send a Warning Message to all selected clients, initiate
a workstation Windows Reboot or Shut Down. Additionally, it allows Staff to Kill the
PC-Cop client running on any workstation. To perform any of the commands on
multiple computers, simply click on the first PC then click on the last PC in the
chosen range while holding down the shift key on the keyboard. If the command
must be performed on all the computers in the list, then click on the Select All
button. Once the range of computers has been highlighted, then click on the
appropriate radio button followed by the “OK” button to complete the command.

Enable/Disable Clients
If Staff needs to temporarily take down the client software on all the computers in
the Library simultaneously, then click on (uncheck) the Enable Clients command in
the Actions menu. This command will not permanently kill the PC-Cop client, it will
temporarily disable it. This feature can be used in the case of workstation

Section Seven – How the Software Works
How PC-Cop Works
The 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 PC
Patrons 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 Reservation
DigiNet 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
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
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 Workstation
When 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
DigiNet e-Services
Page 107
CMS, INC.
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
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
Page 109
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.
DigiNet e-Services
Page 110
CMS, INC.
Other Patron Session Settings
Session 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 111
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
Page 112
CMS, INC.
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 “Reactivate” 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 Workstation
Black & 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
CMS, INC.
Pay at the Workstation with Online Account
To 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 Account
If 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
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 Station
To 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
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
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
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.
DigiNet e-Services
Page 118
CMS, INC.
How to Add Cash to Online Account
Making Deposits to Online Accounts and Checking Account Balance
To 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
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
Page 123
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.

Every account is assigned a number and given a description, an expiration date, and a
minimum balance figure. It is also noted whether it is active or non-active. It is assigned a
tax rate if needed. Account balances can be reported for each account. Every account can
be setup to allow only certain user groups to use the account. The user account must match
the account number setup in this permissions area.
Account Groups
All users are assigned to an account group and each account group is assigned a group
name. A unique description can be entered about the group. The account group is assigned
to a Parent Account Group that is given a name. A Parent/Master Account can have many
Account Groups, which, in turn, can have many User Groups and Users. Every Account
Group or User can have only one Parent/Master Account.

Each computer being used is running on some sort of network Domain. An example
would be the “NT” domain. To further describe the domain there is a place to provide a
unique description of the domain.
Manufacturers
An important concept to understand is how DigiNet organizes printers. DigiNet starts
with a manufacturer and each manufacture has one or more printer models.
Departments

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 toplevel group, for example, the name of the company. This top-level group can contain subgroups with the sub-groups containing additional user groups. Each user can be placed into
only one user group.

Print-Device Models
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

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.

Area 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.
DigiNet e-Services
Page 151
CMS, INC.
Click on Add, then type in the executable name as detailed below.
For DigiNet enter: Proctool.exe
Click OK on all open screens. This will take you back to the Policy Editor. Repeat these
steps for all other profiles that need to run these programs. Click on File > Save and
then exit the Policy Editor. The programs entered will now be allowed to run for the
Profiles altered.

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.
DigiNet e-Services
Page 154
CMS, INC.
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.
DigiNet e-Services
Page 155
CMS, INC.
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:
0x80040154: Class not registered
Handled Exception
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

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
DigiNet e-Services
Page 157
CMS, INC.
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
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
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:
DigiNet e-Services
Page 161
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 Bills
Solution
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

2. Check the display to insure that the vending system is out of the
"In Service" mode.

may have a faulty coin changer or control board. Call
