Recording payment for a single fine
To record payment for a single fine, select the fine the patron wants to pay from
the list of fines in the Fines window and choose Pay. The Pay Fine dialog appears:
Type the amount you want to
waive, if any, here. Make sure
that the total of the Payment
and Waive amounts is not
greater than the Amt Due.
Type the amount of payment
here. Do not enter an amount
greater than the Amt Due.
To print a receipt for the paid fine,
select this option. When you click
Save, the receipt prints at this
workstation's default printer.
Choose Save to update the patron's record. If the fine is paid in full, Circulation
Desk deletes it from the patron's record. Any associated note is also deleted.
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.
Creating fines
Circulation Desk allows you to create several types of fines manually from the
Fines window. You can create new fines for the defaulted fine types of Overdue
and Damaged. You can create fines for any userĆdefined fine types you have
added from System Setup as well, but these fines types will not be associated
with copy information. Remember, Circulation Desk can automatically generate
overdue fines for you.
If you want to be alerted by sound when a copy that was checked in creates a
fine, see the section on setting up alert sounds on page 88.
For information about creating lost copy fines, see the section titled Marking a
patron's checkout lost" later in this chapter. For information about changing your
fines options, see Activating automatic fine calculation and refunds" on page 81.
