If Guac or Chips is not powered on with the iPad connected, the Hardware Dashboard will report that Guac, the camera, and/or the printer is not connected. This is normal.
Install the iPad into Guac and power on the booth for the components to connect.
If it is still reporting as not connected, head over to the Guac Troubleshooting Guide.

The Guac Dashboard section is where the Guac Firmware information is located. The Guac Firmware is responsible for managing hardware connections within the booth, including the printer and LED ring.
Firmware updates may include performance improvements and new features, and these updates can be downloaded and installed from the Guac Dashboard.

Features
The Chips Dashboard houses the features that control the Chips printer. These include the Chips firmware, the Printer Settings, and the Print Queue. The Chips Dashboard is also used to connect Chips wirelessly.
The Chips Firmware is responsible for both wired and wireless connection of the printer to the Guac Brain.
Features
The Tortilla Dashboard holds all the features that control the Tortilla 360 Booth. This includes the Tortilla firmware check, as well as the connection status of the Tortilla 360 Booth.
Features
The System Check provides at-a-glance information about the hardware connections within the Guac or Tortilla Booth so that you know that everything is good to go or give you a heads up if something is not working as expected.
The system will check if:
- Booth is connected
- The camera is connected (if applicable)
- The printer is connected (if applicable)
A green light indicates that the hardware is connected. The light may turn yellow if the system is currently checking that particular hardware component.
A red light will be shown if that device cannot be detected or if there appears to be an issue.
Note: The System Check can only determine if the hardware is connected and cannot check if the settings are correct.
If something is reported as not connected, or that it is connected but not working as expected, you can visit the Guac Troubleshooting Guide for further steps.
Features
The Printer Settings under the Chips Dashboard provides access to the hardware settings for the DNP DS620A.
These settings are used to change the printer media size to between 4x6 photos and photo templates and 2x6 photo template strips.
By default, the printer is set up to print 4x6 photos and photo templates. If your event offers 2x6 photo template strips, then you’ll want to adjust your printer media size.

Features
The Printer Queue under the Chips Dashboard displays the total number of prints pending across all events and provides a quick way to clear the queue by cancelling all prints.
The number of captures in the queue is specific to that booth and does not include prints from other photo booths.
All of the pending prints can be cancelled simply by tapping Cancel All Prints.
