Kiosk Appendix A. Photo Web Album. Operator Manual
March 2006 - v2.2
7.3 MITSUBISHI Protocol
The MITSUBISHI Protocol is based on copying the pictures and a text file with the request
details. The laboratory operator will read the text file “MINILAB.DPS” and will manually send the
jobs to the print system (normally a Minilab)
7.3.1 Workflow
The printing process at the Minilab will be carried out as follows:
1. The customer selects the “1h/24h Prints” service at the customer interface of the
DPSKiosk when selecting photo services
2. Once this service has been made and paid for the customer gets the payment ticket that
indicates the request ID.
3. The DPS Minilab application creates a folder, identified with the request and to which the
pictures and a file called MISCDPSNAME_RequestID (
FOLDER_NAME_LABEL
) .DPS” are
copied. This is the same folder name but with the extension .DPS, where the information
between brackets is obtained directly from the customer [e.g. Name, telephone].
4. The Minilab operator gains access to the shared folder and retrieves the pictures and the
"MISCDPSNAME_RequestID(
FOLDER_NAME_LABEL
).DPS" file with the information on
number of copies, format, etc.
5. The customer gives the receipt at the counter to pick up the jobs requested.
6. The Minilab operator identifies the request with the request ID.
7. The Minilab operator deletes the folder with the finished request.
7.3.2 Folder Structure
Every time a customer requests a Minilab Service, a new
folder is created on the Minilab PC below the selected
shared folder.
Each request folder is identified with the request ID (e.g
100093_24h)
"IMGES\dgim" folder contains customer pictures.
They are always in JPEG format. The size and
resolution will depend on the parameters configured
in the MIT_GEN_100.ini file
The folder
“MISCDPSNAME_RequestID(
FOLDER_NAME_LABEL
)” contains the file
“MISCDPSNAME_RequestID(
FOLDER_NAME_LABEL
).DPS”. e.g.: DPS01138_100093_(Alberto)
NOTE
If several DPSKIOSK systems send pictures to the same Minilab, you are advised to create
different shared folders to identify the origin (name of the shop, for example)
