How is a self printing kiosk different from a photocopy machine?
A photocopy machine needs someone to run it and take payment. A self printing kiosk takes the whole order itself. The customer uploads from their phone, pays by UPI and collects the print, so it keeps working when no one is at the counter.
Do customers need to install an app?
No. The customer flow runs in the phone browser: scan the QR code, upload, pay and collect.
