04/04 Chapter 11 Dealing with fines and lost copies 163
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 Limit defined in the Policies tab in System
Setup appears 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.
