PHOTO PRINT MORE OR LESS COPIES

Updated: Jan 2021

​This article explains how to provide your event users with the option to choose how many copies of the photo print layout they want to print.

First, ensure you are providing your users with the option to print.  From the main RightBooth window, click the ‘Design’ button.  In the Event Designer, click the ‘Event Structure’ tab, select the section ‘Print photos’ and tick the setting: ‘Ask the user’...

Now go to the Screen Editor by clicking the 'Edit' button on the main RightBooth window and select the 'Photo options' screen from the screen list.

• Add 2 button items and 1 label item to the screen (from the 'Add items' toolbox).
• Size and position the items as required.
• Change the actions of the 2 buttons to 'Print less copies' and 'Print more copies' respectively
• Change the contents of the label item to: {CURRENTPRINTCOPIES} Note that this is a RightBooth text variable and it must be surrounded by the curly braces  { and }.  Note that RightBooth provides text variables for many other event values.  See the RightBooth manual for full details.

Job done ! 
When you play the event, your event users will be able to alter this value anywhere from 1 to 10 by repeatedly clicking (or touching) the buttons.  And if you want to restrict the upper limit, alter the value of 'Maximum value for the 'Print more copies' action as shown in the screen shot above.
