If the library <br />issues all reserved items with reservation tickets, the ticket printing can be linked to the sorting. Once <br />the reserved item has been transferred from the Library Mate™, the sorting system informs the library <br />system and subsequently the reservation ticket is printed. In which case, reservation ticket printing and <br />discharge of the item reserved takes place simultaneously. <br />
