They may not be perfectly labeled, but they had them.
Ah, OK, I didn't realize you were trying to OLCI.
I may be a complete idiot, but I don't think so though some on FT may disagree... and the bank of kiosks at the unmanned CS area near gate 80, I think , at SFO didn't appear to have any way of scanning a BP. There was only the CC reader like gas pumps have, and the slot where your BP is delivered. I had to go to DEN to find an older kiosk with a grocery store-style 3 x 3 inch scanning pad.
