Technological innovations make tasks and activities simpler. Technologies like computers, smartphones, computerized systems, and applications streamline different processes systematically. It allows different industries and institutions to improve the efficiency of business processes and services offered to their clientele.
The capstone project, “Coin Operated Printing Kiosk” is designed to be used in schools to ease up printing of documents. The said project requires the users to insert coins to operate the machine and print documents. Traditionally, students go to an internet cafe to avail themselves of printing services. It is time-consuming and requires students to invest effort in falling in long queues.
The researchers conducted the study to employ an IT-based solution for the above-mentioned concerns. The researchers will develop a coin-operated printing kiosk to be used by students and school personnel. By integrating the coin-operated printing machine, students and school personnel can save time and effort in printing important documents. They would not need to fall in long queues but instead use the printing kiosk, insert coins, and then print documents.
The researchers will present the machine to the target users to check and test the features and functionality of the coin-operated printing machine. It will also be presented to IT experts for evaluation and further enhancements. The researchers will ensure that the machine will meet the needs and requirements of the target users.
The implementation of the system will allow users to print documents conveniently. Students wouldn’t need to invest too much time and effort in going to computer shops if they already have an accessible printing kiosk installed near their place. The machine is accessible and always available that the users can rely on in times of printing their document.
Introduction
The capstone project,” Coin Operated Printing Kiosk” allows the printing of documents in a fast and hassle-free manner. The said project is a coin-operated printing kiosk that allows the users to insert coins to navigate the machine and chose their preferred printing options. The target users of the project are students and other staff in the school.
Printing documents became an important part of the day-to-day activities of students and personnel in the school. Students usually go to an internet cafe to avail themselves of printing services. However, some internet cafes have long lines or do not have printing services. The conventional method of printing documents requires too much time and effort that made students and other staffs invest. The students need an accessible and always available printing machine that they can rely on in times of printing their documents.
Proposed Solution
The proponents of the project aim to address the problems encountered in the conventional method of printing documents. The researchers of the study aim to develop a Coin Operated Printing Kiosk that will allow users especially students to print documents conveniently. The students would only need to insert coins and operate the machine to print their documents. Students wouldn’t need to invest too much time and effort in going to computer shops if they already have an accessible printing kiosk installed near their place. The coin-operated printing kiosk is an effective alternative to the conventional way of availing printing services which is more convenient.
Objectives of the Study
General Objective – the project’s main goal is to develop a coin-operated printing machine kiosk that is always accessible and convenient to use in printing documents.
Specifically, the project aims the following objectives:
- To design a coin-operated printing kiosk that prints documents and is user-friendly.
- The printing kiosk is always available and accessible to the users.
- The project will make printing documents fast and convenient.
- The machine is easy and reliable to use.
Scope of the Study
The coin-operated machine is only limited to printing documents. The machine will be designed having different printing options and preferences that the users may choose in printing their documents. The project is mainly designed to be installed nearby schools to be used by students and school personnel. Students and school personnel will participate in the study as respondents.
Significance of the Study
The success of the project is deemed beneficial to the following:
End-Users. Students will mostly be the end-user of the machine since they always encounter a task that needs to print documents and most of them don’t have their printing machines so they highly rely on computer shops. If the project will be successful they will be able to conveniently print documents. The machine will be highly accessible by them.
Researchers. The success of the project will help them gain more experience and skills in developing helpful programs.
Future Researchers. The study will serve as their guide if they wish also to develop their version of the printing kiosk.
Conclusion
Technology is the catalyst of change. Different technological innovations have significantly helped individuals to complete daily tasks and activities. This study was conducted to develop a coin-operated printing kiosk specifically designed for students and school personnel. The developed coin-operated printing machine was presented to the respondents and intended users for assessment. The result of the study showed that the developed system met the needs and requirements of the intended users and respondents. The majority of the respondents assessed that the developed system has great potential.
Thus, the researchers concluded that the developed system is an effective printing system. By implementing the coin-operated printing machine, students and school personnel can save time and effort in printing important documents. They would not need to fall in long queues but instead use the printing kiosk, insert coins, and then print documents. The developed system will make printing documents easy, fast and convenient.
Recommendations
The significant result of the study prompted the researchers to highly recommend the implementation of the system. The system is strongly recommended for its efficiency and reliability that can be rendered to the target users. The developed system is highly accessible and available that students can rely on in times of printing documents.
The researchers also highlight the importance of having enough knowledge on how to properly use the system.
The researchers specifically recommend the following:
- The researchers recommend that printing businesses install the coin-operated printing kiosk near schools to help students and school personnel avail themselves of fast and convenient printing services.
- The researchers recommend that students and school personnel avail themselves of printing services from the coin-operated printing kiosk to save time, money, and effort.
- The implementation of the system is highly recommended for it will make printing documents easy, fast, convenient, and affordable.
