Presto Place - Using Presto

Automatically deliver a photo-a-day from Facebook to Presto

Peter R. — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:19:23 GMT

PrestoPlace members have asked if we could develop a way to more easily get photos to their Presto Printing Mailbox users. That easier way is now here -- announcing a new free service: Presto DailySmile™ which lets you deliver a photo-a-day from Facebook or your computer to a Printing Mailbox. If you are a Facebook user, just tag photos from your albums or those you have access to, and they will automatically be added to a DailySmile "Photo Queue." Photos from that queue are then automatically delivered to your Presto user one per day. For people who don't use Facebook, just upload photos from your computer at the Presto DailySmile website ( http://www.PrestoDailySmile.com ) and they likewise will be delivered one per day. Facebook users who use Facebook Mobile will be able to add photos to their queue from their cell phones. And, you can even subscribe to certain albums which will post any added photos directly to the DailySmile Photo Queue. It's tremendously easy to set up a week's, month's, or year's worth of photos and once you set it, you can almost forget it (because you get daily delivery confirmation emails and an out of photos alert email)....

Used Presto Printer

My mother's presto printer has gone bust after 2 years of use. There are several used Presto printers on the web for sale--will a used one be able to hook into her existing service okay? How do I do this, if so?

My Favorite Messages

Peter R. — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:32:30 GMT

A PrestoPlace member suggested that members share ideas for Presto Mail messages they send to their Presto users. Here are my favorite types of messages that I use with my own family: MEDICATION REMINDERS Sit down with your Presto user and make a list of what medication they are taking and when they take it. Also take digital photos of the bottles and individual pills. Then set up a recurring reminder for the whole list, or for specific days (depending on the schedule), so that they have a paper reminder. This may be intrusive or overkill if the Presto user is young enough, but as they age, this can be a tremendous help. EXTENDED FAMILY BIRTHDAYS I set an annually recurring reminder using PrestoConnect for all of the member of my extended family which includes a photo of the birthday boy/girl and a message reminding Grandparents of the date. EXTENDED FAMILY CONTACT LIST My family keeps an Excel Spreadsheet that has the full contact information of everyone in the immediate extended family (six kids & their spouses and 14 grandkids). We update this periodically and send it around to everyone. By converting it to a PDF file and attaching it...

NEWSFLASH: Announcing the PrestoConnect account manager web site! (11-14-08)

Peter R. — Sat, 15 Nov 2008 01:29:54 GMT

Presto Services Inc. is today announcing to the PrestoPlace community a major enhancement to the Presto Mail service. This enhancement affects all Presto account managers and has already been activated as an automatic upgrade to all accounts. Note: all existing Presto features are still available, the enhancements add new functionality to the system. Presto account managers will now have access to the all new “PrestoConnect,” account manager web site. PrestoConnect is a central online hub that enables ten powerful new functions: 1. Pre-scheduled message delivery - messages can now be scheduled for delivery at a later date and time. This can be a great time saver, allowing you to create a number of messages in one sitting that can be delivered on days and times of your choosing. 2. Activity reporting - PrestoConnect allows you to monitor email traffic that comes from approved senders, seeing when they were sent, and from whom. The PrestoConnect home page gives a “dashboard” view of scheduled and delivered communications. Plus, a communications manager lets you view delivery schedule and history. However, all email contents from approved senders remains private. 3. Delivery confirmation - All approved senders (including you) will receive notifications to your email...

Dialing Prefix Problem

pchamber77 — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 14:58:18 GMT

My Presto Mailbox is located in an assisted living facility with a shared phone system. To dial out you dial 9 followed by the number. The Mailbox worked for several months and then was unable to dial in. The problem appears to be that the 9,, dialing prefix causes a wait that results in an offhook signal from the phone system. Dialing that state is pointless. Is there a way to set the dialed number desired to include the 9 (e.g. 918667097978)? I cannot understand how it worked before as no changes to the phone system (that I can ascertain) have occurred.
