Testing

Camera: Set your camera settings according to your photo booth model. Make sure your camera is focused and take a test photo to verify flash functionality.

Touch Screen: Ensure your touch screen is calibrated.

Printer: Verify the printer works when printing from the software and set it as the default printer via Control Panel.
