Double click on AFIT CustodyIcon on desktop.

You are now readyto use theDigital Image Booth



You should now see the DIB /AFIT Custodyscreen.

The Snap button is highlighted indicatingthe system is ready to capture an image.

Ask the subject to enter the booth and seat themselves on the stool.





Seat subject in boothAdjust stool so that eyebrows are level with the red guideline by way of the height adjustment ring under the seat cushion.Ensure subject has a straight back – as a guide the right ear should be inline with the left hand upright.



Click the snap button ONCEto capture your image when you areconfident the subject is seated correctly.

(A quick visual inspection on screen can bedone by looking at the right hand sideof the image and the alignment of the eyes.)



Once the picture is takenthe software analyzes the image for compliance to the rigorous standards set.

If the image is FIND compliantyou will receive a green lighton the left hand side of thescreen and a save button willappear.

Should you receive a red lightonly the resume button will bevisible and the operator has nooption but to re-take the photo.

We will go into red lights and faults further on in this guide.



Click the Save button via your mouse/pointer control

The image is then sized to FIND standards and saved to the correct directory within NICHE RMS and can be accessed immediatelyby the Custody Suite Operative.

Open the Subjects custody file.Go to the image input screen.Click on the camera icon.The FIND compliant image can then be ‘double clicked’for insertion into the custody file.



Once the image has been saved to the Custody File, the booth can be used to take further images.

Repeat the image capture process as previously.

The ‘new’ image taken will automatically overwrite the image in the NICHE directory - NOT the custody file image.

This failsafe action allows for only one image to be available for a custody file at any one time and avoids insertion of wrong images for the corresponding subject.

The following slides will show examples of verification, possible reasons and the answers to achieve a green light result with every image.
