How to open automatically Photomails with Pix-Star ?

by Pixstar ~ 16 November 2009. Filed under: How to / Tips.

With Pix-Star you can configure the way Photomails are managed when arriving inside the frame.

By default, your Pix-Star is in a mode which displays a small logo on top of the screen, the “envelope” logo, each time a pictures snet by email arrives on the frame. When you press the open mailbox button on the remote control, Pix-Star will show you one by one the Photomails received, with the sender, the date & time and the subject shown at the bottom. You can then choose to either keep the picture or delete it right away.

By going to the “settings” menu you can choose inside the “system” sub-menu between 2 other modes.

The second mode is called “Automatically & notify” which means that in this mode Pix-Star will automatically add the incoming Photomails to your default slide show without the need for you to open the mailbox. This is done WITH a sound notification (a sound is played when a picture arrives).

The third  mode is called “Automatically” which means that in this mode Pix-Star will automatically add the incoming Photomails to your default slide show without the need for you to open the mailbox. This is done WITHOUT any notification (no sound, no message on the frame).

These last 2 modes are quite convenient for people that want to keep things simple. Nothing to do, no need to touch anything on the frame!

This is particularly adapted for people that are not computer-savvy.

    My Pix Star does not have these modes (i.e. not with these names). Instead under Settings there is a small field with says “Save manually” (default) or “Save automatically” or “Information”. It would be nice if there were a sentence on screen that tells you what each is for.

    Hello,

    yes, you are right, so we changed the text of the article. By the way make sure you have the last software version in the frame to see the same wording, to update the software go to “about” there will be a red button called “update” if a new version is available, then press the “play” button.

    Thanks for this remark !
