Abstract
Described are a system, method, apparatus, and computer readable medium that facilitates efficient replenishment of paper, such as receipt paper, at self-service devices. A rate of paper use may be determined for a self-service device. This information may be used to forecast when the paper is expected to be depleted. A time to replace the paper may be selected based on the forecast and on a schedule of other services to be performed at the self-service device. A report including the selected replacement time may be generated and sent to a division responsible for replacing the paper.
