Once your photos have been selected and edited, and the Continue button is pressed on the Photo Index screen, a series of order options will appear before the order can be completed. You can customize which options appear here in the Setup Wizard (as outlined in Chapter 6) to better align with the services provided by your lab. The options displayed on the following pages may or may not be available depending on your configuration and the available licensing.

Standard APM Options:

There are several options that are included as part of the standard APM software license. These options may be toggled on or off in the Setup Wizard and include:

  • Index Print
  • Glossy/Matte Finish
  • White Borders
  • Shrink Photo to Fit on Paper
  • Auto Enhance All
  • Auto Red Eye Removal

    Index Print Option

    Photo Finish Options

    White Borders Option

    Shrink to Fit Option

    Auto Enhance Option

    Auto Red Eye Option

**Note: The Auto Enhance and Auto Red Eye options will both significantly increase the order processing time, as edits are applied to every single image in the order.

Other available order options are outlined on the next pages. These options may require additional licensing and components, and may also have secondary options that must be configured before the order can be completed.

Image CD/DVD Option

Image CD/DVD:
This order option gives your customers the ability to create an Image CD or DVD, which can be burned at the kiosk or sent back to the lab. The software will automatically calculate how many discs need to be burned to include every image in the order, and it will report the price next to the selections.

Select which type of disc you would like to burn. Use the + and – buttons to increase or decrease the number of disc sets you would like to order.

Example: If the software calculates that 3 CDs need to be created to account for all the images in an order, and the quantity box is set to 2, then 6 discs will be burned.

DVD Cinema:
This option is only available if the software is licensed for the DVD Cinema component. Once this option is checked,
and after all other order options have been chosen, you will be taken directly to the DVD Cinema ordering workflow. Once the DVD Cinema creation is complete, you will return to the Shopping Cart.

Card Catalog Option

Card Catalog:
This order option gives your customers the ability to create a proof book product with thumbnails of their images. Settings that can be configured in the Setup Wizard include the default size of the card catalog, number of rows and columns to use on each page for thumbnail display, and photo EXIF data to include with each photo.

Your store’s custom logo will be printed on the cover provided you have configured one in the Setup Wizard. For information on configuring the Card Catalog product, please see Chapter 6.

When the option is selected, and after all other order options have been chosen, you will be presented with a screen prompting for input of a title for the card catalog. Once a title has been entered, press Continue.

The next screen will give an option to Include only photos to print or Include all of my photos. Choose an option, and then set the desired quantity. When finished, select Continue to finalize the order.

**Note: If the Quick Order screen is used (as outlined earlier in this chapter), then the Include all of my photos option will be the only option that appears.

**Note: This product will only print on the EQ-9800/9850 series of printers.

EQ Upload:
This order option gives the ability to upload photos directly to an online Photo Finale collection for a given account. You can either chose to upload all of the photos in a given order, or upload only the photos that were selected for printing. The prices for uploading pictures to a Photo Finale account can be configured in the Setup Wizard.

Photo Finale Upload Option

Once an option is selected, and after all other order options have been chosen, you will be presented with a screen prompting for input of the email address associated with the Photo Finale account to which you wish to upload the images. Use the keypad to type in the email address, and select Enter. If you have already signed into your Photo Finale account at the beginning of the ordering process, you will not be prompted again to enter the email address.

If you do not have a Photo Finale account, select the Do not have an account button. You will then be presented with a screen giving two options. You can choose the Sign Me Up! button, which will return you to the sign up page presented at the beginning of the ordering process and allow you to create a new account. If you choose to sign up, the current order will be cancelled.

Alternatively, you can select the Cancel Option button to cancel the ordering of the EQ Upload option and proceed to the shopping cart.

Lastly, choose the Return to Upload Options button to return to the screen prompting for the account email address.

Once the email address for the account has been entered, you will be presented with a list of the available collections under your account. Choose a collection from the available list by checking the box next to the collection name, or choose Create A New Collection if you wish to make a new album. This will automatically create a new collection in your account. You can use the arrow buttons to scroll up and down the list of available collection.

You can also toggle the privacy for the images in the collection with the buttons below. Select Keep the photos private to mark the album as private, or Allow others to see them to mark the album as public. The privacy option selected will overwrite the current setting for a pre-existing collection that is selected.

If wish you to notify your friends and family of the new pictures you’re about to upload, choose the Add Friends button on the right. This will allow you to enter the email addresses of your friends and family, and they will get an invite to view your uploaded pictures.

Use the + button to add a new address, and enter the address using the keypad when prompted. Once an address is entered, if you decide you don’t want to send the invite email to a particular address, simply check the box to the left of the address. Once all addresses have been entered, select the Enter button. Press Continue to finish the order, or the Back button to return to the order up-sell screen.
