Scanning the same original in different orientations may produce scanned pictures that look slightly different in color tones and
brightness. This is not a malfunction.
Operating the Scanner
Preparation and Initial Setup
The scanner can run on battery power or an external power supply.
When both power sources are available, the scanner only consumes power from the external power supply.
Recommended Ni-MH type rechargeable batteries. (There is no battery charging function in the scanner.)

Setting the Scanning Resolution
A
The scanning resolution is measured in dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi, the more details on the original are captured by
the scanner and produce a higher quality scanned image. However, a higher dpi also results in a larger image size and occupy
more space on the memory card.
To change the scanning resolution, press and release the Power button. The scanning resolution changes by
each press of the button, and the color of the Status/Card indicator also change according to the resolution
selected:
Orange: 600dpi (fine mode, default setting)
Green: 300dpi (normal mode)
The scanning resolution for transparencies is fixed as 1200dpi and cannot be changed.
Scanning a Photo
1. Insert your photo into the plastic sheath (included with scanner).

Scanning 35mm Negatives
This scanner only supports the scanning of 35mm negative/monochrome 6-frame 35mm filmstrips commonly available
from your local photo studios.
Filmstrips in certain conditions are not suitable for scanning. Refer to Suitable and Unsuitable Original Types on
page 8.
CAUTION: Do not scan glossy photos in humid environments (humidity higher than 70% RH); the

Auto Image Mirror/Flip
A
A
The scanner can detect the orientation of a filmstrip when the printed numbers on the edge of the filmstrip are in the
same orientation as the picture.
If you feed the filmstrip with the image mirrored or upside-down, the scanner automatically adjusts the scanned
image during the scan.
The following orientations would result in the same scanned image:
Feeding Filmstrips
1. Make sure that the feed slot is clear of any original, and that there is enough space behind the scanner for the filmstrip to
feed all the way through.
No rotation required
For example, the bottom image (above) is upside-down but the numbers are right-side up. If fed in this
orientation, the picture would not be rotated, resulting in the scanned picture remaining upside-down.
The current recognition capability has difficulty distinguishing the direction of the number “3”, “6”, “8” and
“9”. The number’s position is near the edge of the film and can easily be worn out or damaged. When the
number on the edge cannot be detected in the expected position, or does not meet the required condition
above, the Auto Mirror/Flip function is disabled.
uto mirrored
uto flipped
If the numbers and image are not in the same orientation, or if numbers are damaged,
the auto mirror/flip function will not rotate the image.
Final scanned image
2. Slide the paper guide lever all the way to the right side of the feed slot.
3. Insert the 35mm film adapter all the way into the feed slot until it snaps into place, being careful not
to bend the metal parts.
Wait until indicator lights are in the “Ready to use” status before proceeding.
12 Customer Support: http://www.pandigital.net/kodaksupport
4. Hold up the negative towards light, with the image facing you in normal orientation (not mirror or
upside down).
5. Insert the filmstrip into the 35mm
Negative adapter.
Pay attention to the direction of
the filmstrip when inserting.
The filmstrip is fed into the slot and scanned. The Power and Status/Card indicator lights blink while

scanning.
Common filmstrip length is up to 6 negatives. To prevent poor image quality, reserve adequate
space behind the scanner for the filmstrip to complete the scan feeds.
While scanning a filmstrip, the scanner automatically recognizes the filmstrip type (negative) and
determines the best suitable scan and color enhancement settings for scanning.
The scanner scans filmstrips at a higher resolution; therefore the scanning speed is slower than
that of photo scanning. This is not a malfunction.
If the filmstrip is pulled out from the scanner while scanning, the scanning process remains for a
few seconds and then stops. This is not a malfunction.
When scanning is completed, the Power and Status/Card indicator lights blink while the scanner stores
the photo on the memory card.
Wait until the indicator lights stop blinking before inserting and scanning the next photo.
CAUTION: Insert only one filmstrip at a time, and insert the next filmstrip only when the previous one is done. Otherwise
the scanner may malfunction.
Do not remove the memory card or disconnect the power supply or batteries while the indicators are blinking.
This scanner produces JPEG (.jpg) file formats. The date/ time attribute are not added.
If the memory card is nearly full (less than 10MB remaining), the Status/Card indicator blinks (refer to “Indicator Lights” on
page 7). Use another card or transfer pictures to your computer.
Automatic Image Cropping
The scanner has a built-in cropping function that detects and crops dark edges of an original during the scan process
(see following illustration).
To remove the 35mm Negative adapter after all filmstrips are scanned, gently pull it out from the
feed slot.
To power down the scanner, press and hold the power button for one second. The power indicator
blinks and then goes off.
Now you can safely disconnect the power and remove the memory card from the scanner.
The scanner automatically turns off if it’s left idle for 5 minutes. (If it’s connected to a computer, the
scanner does not automatically turn off.)

Use the plastic sheath when scanning originals that are sized or shaped other than the standard 3.5”x5”, 4”x6”, or 5”x7”.
Depending on the shape, you may want to perform additional manual cropping on the scanned image, using your own
photo editing software, to achieve your desired final image.
When scanning darker originals (for example, a photo of the night sky),
over-cropping may occur.
When scanning over-exposed, older or lighter color (faded) filmstrip originals,
an irregular auto-cropping may occur. Cut the filmstrip into individual films and
rescan them.

Scanner Maintenance
Cleaning the Scanner
In order to maintain the scanned image quality and prevent dust accumulation, it is recommended that you clean the
scanner (outer casing, image sensor and roller inside the scanner) approximately every 50-100 scans.
Clean the scanner also if:
vertical lines or stripes appear on the scanned picture
photos or film will not feed
Use only the recommended and supplied tools to clean the scanner.
WARNING: Do not use any solvents or corrosive liquid (i.e., alcohol, kerosene, etc.) to clean any part of the scanner.
Clean the Outer Casing
1. Use a suitable dust blower to blow off the dust on the scanner.
2. Use a slightly dampened cloth to wipe off any smears on the surface of the scanner.
3. Wipe the scanner with a dry and clean lint-free cloth.
Clean the Image Sensor
1. Clean the scanner’s outer casing first.
Otherwise the plastic material may be permanently damaged.
2. With the scanner powered off and disconnected from the power supply, insert the
sensor cleaning swab into one end of the output slot.
Make sure that there is no visible dust on the swab before inserting it into the output
slot
3. Gently slide the sensor cleaning swab back and forth from one end of the output slot to
the other five or six times consecutively.
20 Customer Support: http://www.pandigital.net/kodaksupport
CAUTION: Do not apply too much force on the swab.
4. Slide the sensor cleaning swab to the left end of the output slot, and then remove it
from the slot.
Store it in a safe place and protect it from dust.
Calibrate the Scanner
If the scanned picture looks fuzzy or there are strange stripes on it, the scanner may need calibrating in order for the sensor to
resume its original precision.
Follow the instructions beginning on page 20 to clean the roller and the image sensor, and then follow the instruction in “Initial
Setup” on page 10 to prepare the scanner for scanning.
Insert the calibration card as shown.
The scanner scans the pattern on the calibration card and perform calibration to the sensor inside
automatically.
Make sure that the calibration card is inserted in the correct direction. Otherwise the calibration
won’t work.
Notes on Battery Usage
We recommend using Ni-MH rechargeable type batteries. Note that there is no battery charging function in the scanner.
Always ensure that the batteries are installed with the positive and negative terminals in the correct direction as shown in the
battery compartment.
Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix different types.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries shorten battery life or causes chemical leaks from the old
batteries.
Chemicals which leak from batteries may cause skin irritation. If any chemical matter seeps out of the batteries, wipe it up
immediately using a dry cloth, and replace the batteries as soon as possible.
When the scanner indicates “battery low” in “ready for use” status, replace batteries before beginning a scan to avoid the
scanner from stopping during the scan.
Storing the Scanner
If the scanner won’t be used for a prolonged period of time, follow the instructions below to store the scanner for future use.
1. Disconnect the scanner from power supply.
2. Place the scanner and power adapter in a box or bag to keep them from accumulating dust.
3. Place it in a cool and dry place, inaccessible to small children.
4. After long-term storage, it is recommended that you clean and calibrate the scanner before use.

Are there scratches on the original, or is the original clean? Remove any stains or dust from the original before scanning.
Did you insert your original into the plastic sheath before scanning?
Has the scanner been used for a long period of time without cleaning and calibration? Follow the instructions for "Cleaning
the scanner" on page 20 and “Calibrating the scanner" on page 21, and then try again.

Q: Can I scan a slide film?
A: If you want to scan mounted positive slides, the mount must be removed before scanning. Pry the mount open from its sides

Once the mount is removed, you may need to consult your local photo studio to revert it to the original status or fit a
new one.
Q: The original is stuck halfway in the feed slot.
A: Press the Power button; the scanner ejects photos out the front, and films are ejected out the back.
Q: The status indicator blinks rapidly, no scan is possible, or the scanner powers off automatically.
A: Check the following:
Is the memory card inserted properly into the memory card slot? Re-insert the card and try again.
Is the SD card locked (set to write-protect)? Unlock the card.
Is the memory card full? The indicator blinks when the free space on the memory card is below 1MB. Use another card if
necessary.
Make sure the memory cards are in FAT or FAT32 file formats only, not NTFS or any other file format. Reformat the
memory card if necessary to use it with the scanner.
