Your Dashboard

The Karafuru dashboard is your command center for running events. Here's what each section does.

Main actions​

Start Session — The big button at the top. Click here to begin a new photobooth session and capture photos.

Test Capture — Take a single test photo to check camera alignment and lighting before the event starts. Use this when you first set up or if you move the camera.

Manage Photos — Browse all photos from your sessions. View thumbnails, check upload status, or download photos to your PC.

Camera preview​

Shows a live feed from your connected webcam. If the preview is dark or blurry:

  • Check camera focus and angle
  • Adjust lighting
  • Clean the camera lens
  • Take a test photo to see the actual capture quality

If the preview is missing entirely, your camera isn't detected. Unplug and replug the USB cable. Restart Karafuru if it still doesn't appear.

Printer status​

Below the camera preview, you'll see your printer status:

  • Green — Printer is connected and ready
  • Yellow — Printer detected but may need attention (check paper, ink, or connections)
  • Red — Printer not detected

Click Printer Settings to configure paper size and print quality.

Recent sessions​

Shows your past events:

  • Thumbnail — Grid preview of photos from that session
  • Date & time — When the session ran
  • Photo count — How many photos were captured
  • Upload status — Whether photos have synced to the cloud

Click any session to view all photos and manage uploads.

Settings​

Access configuration from the gear icon:

  • Camera — Switch between webcam and DSLR, adjust preview settings
  • Printer — Configure paper size, print quality, and test prints
  • Payment — Manage QRIS payment settings and receipt printing
  • Preferences — Keyboard shortcuts, display theme, language

Account​

View your license and subscription:

  • License key — Your activation code (for transfers or support)
  • Plan — Current subscription tier
  • Storage — How much cloud storage you've used
  • Upload queue — Current status of photo sync
info

Your upload queue runs automatically in the background. Photos sync whenever you're connected to the internet — no action needed from you.

tip

You can run multiple sessions without internet. Photos stay on your PC and upload when you reconnect.
