You need to have the photo prepared prior to the actual synchronization. It is best to use the digital camera with sharp lenses and low distortion. While making the photo please follow a few simple guidelines:

• Place yourself right in front of the photographed board. The less the perspective skew the easier it will be for the scanner scanner to operate.
• Make sure the board is lit evenly.
• Arrange the cards in such a way that the KR codes are not obscured in any way and are completely visible.
• Get as close to the board as possible, so that as much as camera's sensor resolution is used.

As soon as the photo is provided the scanner photo processing will start processing the board. Wait until the scanner it finishes.
