August 2001 4-9 Maintaining the Equipment 4-10 August 2001 Appendix A: Using the Service and Assembly Module (SAM) The Service and Assembly Module (SAM) software performs many of the same functions as other host software. Its primary purpose for users is to validate that your scanner is working correctly and to allow you to perform simple scan functions. There are also service and diagnostics functions that should be used only with the assistance of a Kodak service representative. Functions supported by the SAM software are: · setting a magnification · calibrating the scanner · setting the image processing mode (negative or positive) · autofocusing at any given magnification · defining the area to be scanned · scanning and transferring images from the scanner to the host computer · performing miscellaneous features such as: ­ turning the lamp on and off ­ resetting the lamp-on timer ­ rebooting the scanner ­ retrieving scanner usage information ­ displaying software version information · backing up and restoring critical scanner files A-1 Using the Service and Assembly Module (SAM) Installing the Service and Assembly Module (SAM) Software 1. Respond to the prompts in the installation program. You must provide the program location and the name of the program menu item. 4. When installation is complete, reboot your host computer. Remove the CD and store it in a safe place. Backing Up Scanner Files IMPORTANT: It is essential that you back up the scanner files before using SAM. From the Operations window, click the Backup tab.

From the Operations window, click the Mag/Focus tab when you need to set the magnification (position of the lens) or do an autofocus. A-4 August 2001 Using the Service and Assembly Module (SAM) Setting the Magnification 1. On the Mag/Focus tab, select the Chosen Magnification. The value can be between 0. 5 and 2. 0.

The lens and CCD move to the chosen position. Performing an Autofocus 1. On the Mag/Focus tab, enter the Focus Range. The Range is the initial range of travel used for the CCD and lens, in motor steps. NOTE: To make the focus procedure faster: if you have focused on a given magnification, you can set the Range value to be less than 300. IMPORTANT: Autofocus will be done for the Chosen Magnification. It is assumed that when you do an Autofocus, you have: · calibrated with an empty film holder (see Calibrating the Scanner on page A-7) · placed the film to be scanned in the scanner (see Inserting a Negative or Mounted Slide in the Scanner on page 2-10) · set the scan area (see Using the Capture Tab on page A-8); for fastest scanning, set the # of pixels (in the Scan area) to 1000 2.
