The sorter comes with several software components. These are

•Libretto 2: The main user interface and controlling application of the device. Contains also an administration mode which is used to activate backdate return mode or to shut down the software.

•Management utility: This application is used to manage various settings and configurations of the device.

•Sorting editor: A graphical user interface for defining sorting rule sets for the device.

•Language editor: A graphical user interface for changing on-screen language texts.

•Receipt editor: A graphical tool for creating / modifying receipts; both end-user receipt and hold/transfer receipts.

•Reporter: A reporting tool for obtaining sorter statistics; returned items and patron counts.

All of these should be pre-installed on the computers operating the sorter. This manual covers only the basic aspects of each application; there are separate, more in-depth manuals available for all software.

Note that settings are read in Libretto 2 after startup, so in order for any changes to take effect, the Libretto 2 software must be closed and re-started. This includes language texts, receipt printout texts and operational settings configured via the Management utility.
