Be sure to choose the custom option when prompted, and check the options off that are available, as they will vary from machine to machine.

Network Requirements:

The APM and Lab 50 software packages do not require internet access to function properly for simple processing of kiosk orders through to the printer, however, it is recommended the machines are online for activation and support purposes.

If the store will be processing orders from Photo Finale Web or from a kiosk placed in a remote location, internet access must be available at all times on the Lab 50 machine to ensure order receipt and processing in a timely fashion. Additionally, if the customer wants to take advantage of the APM Profit Watcher site to access statistical data or use EQ Gifting to process orders that are fulfilled through a remote fulfillment center, the unit must be online.

The ports and IP addresses used by the various software components are listed below for reference. If the unit is on a domain or behind a firewall, exceptions may need to be made in the configuration in order for these applications to work properly.
