>> It's a typical workflow for lockers: Put your stuff in, close the door, go to the station, follow the prompts to pay. If you use an IC card, use the same card to unlock at the station when you return.

>> As far as fine print... pay careful attention to where your locker is, especially in a larger station like Tokyo or Shinjuku. I don't mean what locker number, I mean which set of lockers. There are many, all over the place, and of course they look similar. Also, lockers do fill up. At peak times you may have to look around to find an available space.
