How to set up and use your scanner for Fortuna AI's Palm Reading feature

In this article, we&#x2019;ll cover how to set up and use your scanner to capture hand scans for use with Fortuna AI&apos;s Palm Reading feature, including the recommended workflow for optimal performance.<hr data-start="337" data-end="340"><h2 data-start="342" data-end="360" id="getting-started">Getting Started</h2>The fastest way to begin is to&#xA0;download one of Foto Master&#x2019;s pre-made presets. Any preset labeled with &#x201C;Palm Reading&#x201D; includes the scanner setup and demonstrates how scanning integrates into the flow. These templates allow you to preview the scanning and AI processing behavior immediately.<hr data-start="664" data-end="667"><h2 data-start="669" data-end="704" id="basic-workflow-for-hand-scanning">Basic Workflow for Hand Scanning</h2>To set up scanning manually, follow the steps below:<ol data-start="760" data-end="999"><li data-start="760" data-end="862" style="font-size: 15px;">Add a feature named &#x201C;Scan&#x201D; This feature initiates the scanner and captures the hand image.</li><li data-start="864" data-end="999" style="font-size: 15px;">Add an animation right after triggered by &#x201C;Scan Done&#x201D; This ensures your workflow only continues after the scanning operation is complete.</li></ol><hr data-start="1001" data-end="1004"><h2 data-start="1006" data-end="1042" id="scanner-behavior-and-warm-up-time">Scanner Behavior and Warm-Up Time</h2><ul data-start="1044" data-end="1344"><li data-start="1044" data-end="1153" style="font-size: 15px;">On first use (or after a long idle period), the scanner requires approximately 10 seconds to warm up.</li><li data-start="1154" data-end="1237" style="font-size: 15px;">If used again shortly after, scans will start almost instantly (~1 second).</li><li data-start="1238" data-end="1344" style="font-size: 15px;">If too much time passes between scans, the scanner will cool down and require another warm-up cycle.</li></ul><hr data-start="1457" data-end="1460"><h2 data-start="1462" data-end="1488" id="where-the-scan-is-saved">Where the Scan is Saved</h2>Once the scan is complete, the image is automatically saved to: <code data-start="1558" data-end="1580">{Event Folder}/scans</code>When the Palm Reading AI feature is reached, FMBooth automatically retrieves the latest scan from this folder and sends it to the Cloud to analyze the lines of your hand based on palmistry principles.

The Fortuna AI Proximity Sensor is an essential hardware component designed to enhance the user experience by automatically triggering the scanning process. Positioned above the scanner hole, the sensor detects a hand as soon as it enters the area, instantly initiating a scan without the need for touch or delay.<h3 data-start="449" data-end="482" id="connection-and-auto-detection">Connection and Auto Detection</h3>Once you launch Foto Master&#x2019;s software, the system will begin auto-detecting connected devices&#x2014;including the LED Ring, Key Fob, and Proximity Sensor&#x2014;through available COM ports. This process typically takes between 5 and 50 seconds.To verify successful connection:<ol data-start="756" data-end="894"><li data-start="756" data-end="795">Go to Global Settings &#x2192; Devices.</li><li data-start="796" data-end="894">Review the log output to see if the proximity sensor&#x2019;s COM port was detected and connected.</li></ol><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/JEmYL2naMXn6oMgQ/hc/bgJ1Q6QrLw2vXKOM/2025071510-228ee62c-8604-4f75-b008-de1bc248b883-b34e2a9d-7b72-4ba9-8a6d-f9ade2244f9a.png" style="width: 531px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib"> If the sensor doesn&#x2019;t connect:<ul data-start="927" data-end="1049"><li data-start="927" data-end="970">Ensure the sensor is plugged into the PC.</li><li data-start="971" data-end="1049">If needed, switch to a different USB port and wait again up to 1 minute.</li></ul><h3 data-start="1051" data-end="1074" id="workflow-validation">Workflow Validation</h3>If your workflow includes a Proximity Trigger, the software will not allow you to begin unless the proximity sensor is connected.
