Setting Up Scholastic EasyScan®
1. Set up all terminals prior to your Fair. Terminals require a
power outlet, but data connections aren’t needed. Each
terminal should be plugged into its own power source.
2. Connect the power cord to the 3-prong port on the back,
far right of the terminal.
3. Connect the scanner to the port identified as SCANNER on
the back of the terminal. This must be connected before
turning the terminal on or it may not function properly.
4. Connect the cash drawer to the terminal by plugging the
end of the cord from the cash drawer into the only port
located under the ledge near the power supply port.
Note: This plug faces down.
5. Set the terminal on the cash drawer. Plug the power cord
into the power outlet.
6. Turn the terminal on by pressing the On/Off button on the
left-hand side of the terminal.

up. The Scholastic EasyScan screen will display and is
ready to use. If printer diagnostic displays, touch HIDE.
8. Customers should use the stylus to sign their name on the
Scholastic EasyScan display screen. Caution: Turning the
terminal around so that the screen faces the customer
can disengage cords and cause a loss of data. Please
keep the terminal screen facing you at all times.
Although customer signatures will display upside-down
on the printed receipt, the transaction will still be valid.
9. Credit card slide is located to the right of the display
screen. Cards are swiped from top to bottom with magnetic
strip in slot and facing right. Caution: The slot located
under the key pad is not for credit card use.
10. Place included barcode scan sheet alongside terminal on
cash drawer. Also place the included double-sided Quick
Start Reference Sheet at each terminal.

Reporting – Sales Summary & Merchandise Reports
End-of-Day Sales Balancing Tips
Use these tips to help balance your actual sales to your
sales collected through the Scholastic EasyScan. Run the
Sales Detail Report at the end of each day for each terminal
at the Fair. Make sure to add all terminals’ sales totals for a
complete daily sales summary.
Note: Remove all receipts, cash, and checks from the cash
drawer and under the till.
1. Count the number of credit card slips and their totals
and compare to the Sales Detail Credit Card section.
•Record these totals and place receipts in the envelope.
2. Count the number of checks and their totals and
compare to the Sales Detail Checks section.
•Record these totals.
3. Count the total cash (dollars & coins) and compare to
the Sales Summary Cash section.
•Record these totals.
Make sure to subtract your starting cash from the total cash
for the day.
Note: The Sales Detail Report only serves as a guide for your
total sales. Remember, you are required to report all sales
and money received. It is recommended that you process all
sales through the Scholastic EasyScan terminal. This will help
balance each day’s sales.
Wrapping Up Fair Financial Reporting
Please review the Financial Report support documents
included with the Scholastic EasyScan Quick Start Guide. The
Financial Report tool titled Closing Out Your Book Fair will help
you populate your financial information on the Toolkit at the
end of your Fair. This document is purposely detached from
the Quick Start Guide so you can keep and use to finalize
your Fair Financials.
Note: Daily balancing on each terminal may not always be
possible due to One for Books and Gift Certificate sales and
redemption.
Wrap-up Support: Print a Financial Summary Report for
each Scholastic EasyScan terminal and be sure to keep the
receipt(s) for your records. Be sure to include all days the
Fair ran in the date selection field. Again, if you processed
any sales outside of the Scholastic EasyScan terminal the
report summary will not balance to your actual sales. It is your
responsibility to report all sales and revenue from your Book
Fair, even those not processed with Scholastic EasyScan.
Prior to Fair pickup, make sure you print a
Financial Summary Report on each terminal
to help finalize your financial reporting on
the Toolkit.
