Set Up

1. Setup your photobooth backdrop.
2. Setup your Salsa photobooth.
3. Place the ikea lack table directly behind your salsa booth and place your printer on the table.

4. Plug the printer power cord and printer to laptop cable into the backside of the printer.

5. Feed the cables from your printer under the table and then tuck them underneath the back or side of the salsa baseplate. Feed them out the front of the salsa baseplate in the same location that your salsa power cable comes out.

6. Place all 3 cords together on the floor and tape them in a straight line from where the extend out the front of the salsa baseplate to behind the backdrop.

7. Plug in an extension cord behind your backdrop.

8. Plug the salsa + printer power cords into the extension cord. Your printer to laptop cable will be plugged in shortly.

9. Pull out your laptop and place your laptop behind the backdrop next to the extension cord. I recommend placing it inside of the salsa pelican case to prevent it from getting damaged during the event – once the set up process is complete you can shut the lid of the case just don’t latch it closed as you may damage the cords.

10. If you’re using a pc: plug the printer cable into your laptop and then skip to next section Connecting the printer, ipad + computer . (If you’re using a macbook skip to the next step.)

11. If you’re using a macbook, plug the printer cable into the USB- lightning adapter.

12. Plug the USB- lightning adapter into your macbook.

2. On your laptop open the snappic printer server and leave it open.
   

3. On the ipad open the salsa app.

4. Click on settings (the gear wheel in the top corner).

5. Click on lamp mode. This will turn on the ring light when the ipad is installed in your salsa booth.

6. Once the right light is on, exit out of the salsa app completely and delete the app from your homescreen. You can now cancel your salsa subscription if you’d like.

7. On the ipad open the snappic app.

8. Select your live event.

9. Click on configure printer.

10. If you have completed all of the previous steps correctly you will see the printer server pop up within the configure printer tab. Select the snappic printer server from the list of printers.
