In this article, we would like to explain which error sources must always be checked in the event of a kiosk downtime before the next support level is contacted.
A downtime occurs when one or more kiosks are not fully functional and check-in is no longer possible via these kiosks.
Possible causes of downtime and solutions
Please check the message on the display of the kiosk.
