APM 9.6 Release Notes October 2015

Key Features:

• PF@Kiosk Uploading. A brand new workflow has been introduced for customers using PF@Kiosk, allowing them to take advantage of the full photo-loading capabilities of the kiosk (media cards, USB flash drives, smartphones & tablets, scanned prints, etc.) to import and select photos for use at PF@Kiosk. Customers import their photos, including support for multiple media sources:

• iOS & Android Wi-Fi Transfer. A new add-on license module is available – the APM Photo Kiosk Transfer App. It provides the easiest, fastest, and most error-free transmission of photos from mobile devices to the APM. The solution combines free, native apps for iOS and Android for customers to download along with a new software package that runs on the kiosk to provide secure, zero-configuration, ad-hoc wireless networking access.

Customers simply select “iOS & Android” from the APM’s Load Media screen, and then follow the prompts on-screen. They are directed to download (if necessary) and launch the transfer app, select their photos, switch to the kiosk’s WiFi network, and begin the transmission.
