The APM software is capable of importing media in several other ways, including scanning photos, downloading images from a Bluetooth-enabled device, downloading images from an infrared-enabled device, or downloading images from a Photo Finale online membership account.

Scanning Photos:
If you have a scanner attached and configured to work with the APM software, selecting the Scan photos button will take you directly to the scanning workflow. See chapter 4 for more details about scanning photos in the APM software. This option may be used to place orders from existing photos solely or in addition to photos from your media.

Please contact support for specific instructions on Bluetooth configuration on the kiosk. Press the Import Images from a Bluetooth wireless device button and follow the instructions to send images from your Bluetooth device to the APM. You may need to consult your device’s instruction manual for details on transferring images from your device.

Photos from Photo Finale:
The ability to download online collections (albums) from Photo Finale Web accounts has been added in version 7.0 of the APM software. To do this, press the Photos from Photo Finale button to begin the process. (Note: retailers can customize the text of this button in the APM’s Setup Wizard.)
The next screens present the option to log into your Photo Finale account. Once logged into an account, a list will be presented containing all of the online collections available in the account. Place a check mark next to the album you wish to order photos from, and then press the Continue button. While you may only select one collection at a time, you can use the Add More Photos options, outlined in the next section, to download additional collections.
**Note: In order to use this feature, the kiosks must be online and configured to synchronize with Lab 50. For more information on configuring these screens, please see Chapter 6. If Lab 50 is not used in your location, or the kiosks are not online, these settings should not be enabled.
