Maintenance

A BoothIQ kiosk is designed to run all day without staff, but it's not maintenance-free. The thermal printer needs paper, the camera lens picks up dust, the coin acceptor jams once in a while, and software updates show up periodically. This section is what you do to keep the booth healthy.

Who this section is for

Operators running a booth in production. Most of these tasks take less than five minutes and prevent the bigger problems covered in Troubleshooting (coming soon).

A maintenance habit to build

Spend the first five minutes of every shift doing the Daily checks routine. It catches almost every "the booth wasn't working when I arrived" problem before customers do.
