Charging a fine for the lost copy

While marking a copy lost, if you choose to create a fine for a lost copy, the New

Fine dialog appears:

The amount in the Amount

text box normally comes from

the copy information or the

Fine Limit. See the following

note for more information.

The Amt Due is updated

automatically.

If you want to apply payment

or waive part of the fine at this

time, enter the amounts here.

To print a receipt for the fine, select this option. When you click Save,

the receipt prints at this workstation's default printer.

Note:

The amount in the Amount text box normally comes from the copy

information. The Fine LimitĊdefined in the Policies tab in System

SetupĊappears in the Amount text box if: 1) there is no price defined for

the copy in the copy information, and 2) the Use Fine Limit if the copy

price has not been entered check box in the Fines tab in System Setup is

selected. If both the copy price and the Fine Limit are undefined, you must

manually enter the amount of the lost copy fine.

When you finish creating the lost copy fine, choose Save. If the Print Fine Receipt

Upon Save option is selected, a receipt prints to your workstation's default

printer. Each 8.5" x 11" page contains two copies of the receipt, one for the patron

and one for your records. For a sample of the patron's receipt, see page 156.
