In order to fit better the picture inside every frame or rectangle, sometimes is better to rotate the picture. After pressing the "Finish order" button, a pop-up will appear in order to determine the amount of copies desired 25/74 Operator users manual 3. 7 Photo ID (Optional) Its highly recommended to follow the next steps to make an ID service. 3. 7. 1 Taking the pictures Before selecting the PhotoID service at the main screen, the operator should take the pictures to the customer. When using a digital camera with an USB cable connected to easyphoto: If an USB switch is being used between the camera and the easyphoto, this must be switched to the position where the connection between both devices is disabled, in order to allow the camera to take pictures. When an USB switch is not being used, the digital camera USB cable should be disconnected from the easyphoto. NOTE The behaviour of the camera when the USB cable is connected or disconnected may vary depending on the camera brand/model used. Please ask for more information to your dealer or installer. 3. 7. 2 Selecting the service Once the "Photo ID" button (in operator mode) is pressed, or the hidden area between language selection (flags) and prices is pressed, the Photo ID service is started. 26/74 Operator users manual 3. 7. 3 Selecting the picture source After this, depending on the system setup, its necessary to follow the source selection workflow or it can be avoided if the operator is using always the same digital picture files source (see the Administration and Settings chapter for more information). As instance, if the operator is using always the same digital camera connected through USB cable to the easyphoto, this can be indicated in settings and the application wont ask the operator where the pictures must be read from. There are several picture sources available: Digital Memory Card, USB memory device (both using the media card reader of the easyphoto system) and USB connection with digital cameras. NOTE The most common USB modes used by the digital cameras are Mass Storage and PTP connection. PTP connection works better when there are only a few pictures into the camera memory: its recommended to empty the camera memory after every session when using the PTP connection. There must be at least 1 picture in the camera in order to be able to read pictures from it, too. In order to know about each camera brand/model PTP compatibility, please check the camera specifications. 27/74 Operator users manual When using a PTP or Mass Storage mode compatible Digital Camera, the operator is requested to connect it as its shown in the next picture. If an USB switch is being used between the camera and the easyphoto, now it must be switched to the position where the connection between both devices is active. When an USB switch is not being used, the digital camera USB cable should be connected to the easyphoto. When using a PTP camera, this will detect now the connection with the easyphoto system and will change to picture source mode. In most of the cameras using the Mass Storage mode, they have to be manually switched to this mode at this time. NEW 3. 7. 4 Selecting the layout Afterwards, the layout must be chosen. Split layouts (using two different colours) allow mixing two different pictures. After choosing the layout, the Photo ID screen is shown. 28/74 Operator users manual 3. 7. 5 Selecting and working with the pictures In the top area, the pictures read from the source are shown. When selecting any of them, the picture will be loaded to be shown in the central area. In this screen, its also possible to change the layout by clicking on the preview placed on the top-right corner. The select layout screen will appear again to restart the workflow. 29/74 Operator users manual Once in the Photo ID screen again, its possible to select another picture. 3. 7. 6 Printing After pressing the "Print" button, a pop-up will appear in order to determine the amount of copies desired. When pressing the refresh button, the latest images from the picture source are reloaded. When using a camera with PTP connection, only the latest 8 images from the device are loaded. 30/74 Operator users manual 3. 7. 7 Automatic biometrics detection When automatic biometrics detection is active in the settings (see Administration chapter), it will take some more time and the picture could appear centred and zoomed. [. . . ] If the system was updated at anytime, this option is not so helpful like restoring a Total Backup from an USB device, because the system and software version included in the Recovery DVD could be quite previous to any other upgrade version installed later in the system. NOTE If this option is selected all information in the system will be deleted. The system searches for a valid total backup file in the Recovery DVD (when available) or informs the user that he/she has to specify in which memory device the configuration file is. If the reinstallation has not been successful, it will be notified. 6. 7 Shutdown This option shuts down the system properly. Please use always this option to shut down the system after performing any of the previous options of the menu. 69/74 Operator users manual 7 ACTIVATING ADDITIONAL LICENSES Its required to activate additional licenses (like PhotoID) in order to access the whole functionalities of the system.
