Connect one or two Apex XpressCheck™ self-checkout stations to the same Apex DiscXpress II system. An Apex DiscXpress II system consists of one or more towers in which five 100-disk carousels are stacked. A single tower holds up to 500 disks; a double tower holds up to 1,000.
When connected to an Apex XpressCheck, all items can be checked out in a single self-checkout transaction at the same time, in the same way, regardless of item type. Disks dispense automatically during the self-checkout process. On-screen prompts lead the patron through the checkout process.
Libraries with larger AV collections can opt for the Apex DiscXpress II Central Dispensing Unit (CDU). Disks are distributed in a separate step after successful checkout by staff or by patrons at the Apex XpressCheck. Patrons simply go to the CDU and scan their patron cards. The system dispenses their checked-out disks.
