1. INTRODUCTION
With the dslrBooth cash payment system it is possible to add a cash payment system to the 
dslrBooth Photo Booth Software and charge money for printing photos. It can be used also 
with Socialbooth, Sparkbooth and Breeze photo booth or Breeze Kiosk an other software.
The package is immediately ready for use and includes all necessary components like coin 
or bill acceptor, a CASH-Interface2 board, USB cable, all necessary cables, as well as the 
keystroke software which controls the dslrBooth Photo Booth Software. The coin or bill 
validator as well as the CASH-Interface2 board is set up already to your needs. Normally 
you do not need to change any devices settings, just plug it in and go.
The dslrBooth cash payment system can accept coins (also tokens or jetons) and banknotes 
in almost every currency. Just let us know what currency and what coins or banknotes you 
want accept and we set up everything for you!
The keystroke software monitors the CASH-Interface2 with connected coin and banknote 
acceptor, as well as e.g. Nayax cashless system, and sends on enough credits, a start signal 
to the dslrBooth Photo Booth Software and the photo process begins. The photo session can 
be started automatically or manually via external push button or on screen button. Using a 
push button with lamp or LED included, the button illumination can be controlled and is lit 
when there are enough credits and photo software is in start screen waiting for session 
trigger.
In the keystroke software itself there can be done several settings. For example set up the 
coin and bill validator, set the costs for a photo job, windows security functions and other 
settings. If there was an over payment, a new photo job is started as soon as the active job 
has finished, either automatically or triggered manually via customer hits a push button. 
While the photo booth machine is in action, the keystroke software is running invisible in 
the background. There is a hot-key (CTRL+ALT+S) to make the settings window visible.
To get more information about a software function, point with your mouse over that 
function and a small pop up window with extra information appears. 
Check out the website from time to time if there is a new software version of the dslrBooth 
as well as CASH-Interface2 keystroke edition available.

2.3 Cashless systems
Currently the following credit and smart card systems can be connected: 
 Nayax cashless payments
 Otiglobal cashless payment systems 
 USA Technologies ePort 
 Sacoa Debit Card, POS and Redemption System 
 Ingenico pos solutions smart pos self-service 
Please inform about the exact features of the cashless systems directly at the manufacturer. 
The above listed devices can be connected without any problems to the CI2 board. The 
device must work with PULSE Interface. Further information on the wiring of the 
corresponding system can be obtained from us on request. The main information can be 
found in this PDF: https://www.casino-software.de/download/ci2_nayax.pdf 
2.4 PULSE-Adapter
Another possibility to connect the Nayax (or other cashless system) PULSE wire is to use 
our PULSE-Adapter. There are two types of the PULSE-Adapter available, a COIN and a 
BILL version.
The PULSE-Adapter COIN has a 10 pin 
connector that fits to default coin plugs, and 
offers again a 10 pin coin plug to plug in the 
originally coin acceptor cable, so you do not 
lose the coin acceptor connector. The cashless 
device can be connected easily via plugable 
terminal connector. With a jumper you can 
select the coin channel on which the external 
credit signal is transferred. 
Additionally there is an INHIBIT out, to control the acceptance of the Nayax device. 
The PULSE-Adapter BILL has a 16 pin 
connector that fits to default NV9/NV10 plugs, 
and offers again a 16 pin plug to plug in the 
originally bill acceptor cable, so you do not 
lose the bill acceptor connector. 
The PULSE-Adapter BILL offers the same 
options as the above PULSE-Adapter COIN, 
select the bill channel by jumper and a 
INHIBIT output.

Of course you can use cash (coin and banknotes) and cashless at the same time.

2.5 Hopper (Pay Change)

It is possible to pay change via a hopper. At the moment we support to use 2 hoppers. A

hopper can hold one coin type. For more information refer to the hopper’s manual.

It is possible to connect hoppers of the type Azkoyen U-II, Flow-Hopper, Hopper HS-2012

(STD) via MK4 adapter, MK2/3/4 via MK4 adapter, Note dispenser ND300KM via

ND300KM adapter.

Protocol: PULSE

Pin out of the HOPPER plug:

If a hopper becomes empty while pay out process, the control tries to pay out the remaining

coins by the next hopper. If both hoppers are empty the credits remain in the OSD display

and we do not pay change. So it is the operators job to keep hoppers filled.

2.6 Camera ring illumination (Relays output)

The on board relays can be used to switch the illumination of the camera ring or other

illumination. The relays gets active close before we send the keystroke. So the light is on

while the photo booth software shows its count down. The time is adjustable, so it is

possible to fit the duration exactly to the photo session. There can be multiple ON/OFF

times, simply set the times in the format ON/OFF=time. For example ON=8000 means

switch relays ON for 8000ms = 8 seconds. In the keystroke software there is a schematic on

the Hardware page how to connect the relays.

The relays is a closer contact, NO 200 VDC, 15W. On the board it is marked as REL.

2.7 Start button + illumination

It is possible to start the photo session or trigger a print job via

external push button. To use this feature the "Manually" setting

must be selected. The push button is connected to IN1 pin on the

CASH-Interface2. OUT 2 provides a +12V output used to illuminate the START button

connected to IN1.

If credits are >= costs and receiver window is found, e.g. ″DSLRBOOTH – START″, the

button is illuminated and signals the user the machine is ready to start a photo session or

print job. The transistor max. current is 0,8A. On the board it is marked as OUT2.

Instead using a real push button there is a integrated button in the OSD now, see chapter 3.1
