# selfCheck | Improved Barcode Scanner Visibility

*June 2026*

Bibliotheca has introduced an enhancement to the barcode scanning experience on selfCheck 2500 and selfCheck 3000, helping patrons more easily identify where to present their library card or barcode for scanning. 

The update introduces a new scanner configuration designed to improve visibility and make the scanning area more intuitive for first-time users. 

 

**What is changing**

The selfCheck 3000 portfolio uses a 2D barcode scanner capable of reading modern barcode formats, including QR codes. Based on customer feedback, Bibliotheca identified an opportunity to make the scanning area easier to recognize during patron interactions. 

To address this, a new version of the scanner has been introduced that uses a red illumination light in place of the previous white illumination light.

**Benefits**

All The updated scanner is designed to improve usability by:

- Making the scanning area easier to identify
- Providing a visual cue that patrons commonly associate with barcode scanning
- Improving visibility through the selfCheck 3000 glass shelf
- These enhancements can help create a more intuitive self-service experience, particularly for first-time users.
- Setup is straightforward: open+ sensors are configured in open+ as usual, then linked to libraryConnect LINK via serial number under Settings / Devices / Add Device.

 

**Availability **

The new scanner is available as a retrofit option for libraries experiencing difficulties with the current scanner configuration. 

Future selfCheck 3000 production will transition to the updated scanner as existing inventory is depleted.
