Virtuo’s standard music mode, you now have simultaneous revenue streams available to you! Setting up a PhotoBooth printer is simple, and the option to print is available automatically if a printer is connected to Virtuo. The standalone PhotoBooth printer can be kept under a bar counter or in a separate office, where it will only be accessible to location employees.
Do not open the PhotoBooth Printer except to replace the ink ribbon or paper roll. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Servicing must be performed by qualified personnel only.

Note: As part of the In-venue Virtuo Improvement Program, these parts were integrated into the production of all new Virtuos. If you received a Virtuo directly from TouchTunes (and not a distributor) after April 2012, it is not necessary to install the Virtuo Camera or replace the Virtuo Camera Bracket.
If you followed the instructions included with either the PhotoBooth camera kit or PhotoBooth camera bracket kit, your PhotoBooth camera is already optimized. All that remains to offer your locations digital images using the PhotoBooth service is to ensure you have turned PhotoBooth ON and you have added any surcharge you wish to charge for digital images.

Enabling PhotoBooth and Adjusting Surcharges To Turn PhotoBooth ON and Set the PhotoBooth Surcharges: 1. Touch the Services > PhotoBooth Options button from Virtuo’s Operator Menu. 2. Turn the PhotoBooth service ON. 3. Use the + and - buttons to increase the surcharges for digital photos, the first printed image, and additional printed images.
Adjusting the Virtuo Camera’s White Balance The PhotoBooth camera’s White Balance setting should always be adjusted according to the lighting levels in a location in order to produce optimal picture quality. If a location generally operates under low-lighting conditions, it is essential to replicate these lighting conditions when performing the white balance adjustment procedure.
