[Michlib-l] Printing and credit cards

[Karyn Ruley]

Hi -

We're looking at buying a new printer soon, but would like to know how other
libraries are handling credit card payments for printing. Currently we use
Cybrarian for printing, which does not seem to have an on screen credit card
payment option, then either accept cash payment or GovPay card swipe at the
main desk upon print job release.

An on screen option for patrons who'd like to pay for their prints with a card
prior to printing would be ideal, but we've also considered a printer that
takes card payments, or one that works with a program where money is loaded
onto a patron's library card (not something we're comfortable with). We still
need to be able to accept cash.

Thanks in advance for any information you can offer, and Happy Thanksgiving!
