for a two button setup with PSRemote where the user can select B&W or color prints you would use
settings similar to those below:
In operation
Connect the USB to RS-232 adaptor to a USB port on the PC and, making sure no buttons are
pressed, run the Photobooth Pushbutton utility. Before running PSRemote check that the buttons are
working properly by pressing them and making sure the correct checkbox in the pushbutton utility is
checked. It may be necessary to select a different COM port if the buttons don't work. Normally the
same COM port is assigned provided the USB to RS-232 adaptor is connected to the same USB port

trigger the photobooth sequence. The Photobooth Button utility needs to running at all times during

key press to PSRemote:
a) The Powermate from Griffin Technology (http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powermate/)
is an inexpensive and nicely made device which works very well.
b) The StealthSwitch (http://www.stealthswitch.com) is a very robust foot switch which simply needs
to be plugged in to be used in fullscreen photobooth mode. No additional drivers need to be
