Kodak PS80, PS50 User Manual

Safety

User Precautions

• Place the scanner on a sturdy, level work surface capable of supporting 5.5 kg (12 lbs).

• Do not install the scanner in a location subject to dust, humidity or steam. This may cause electrical shock or a fire. Only use
the scanner and power supply indoors in a dry location.

• Make sure the electrical power outlet is located within 1.52 meters (5 feet) of the scanner and is easily accessible.

• Use only the power cord that was provided with the scanner. Using any other power cord may cause electrical shock and/or
damage the product.

• Be sure the power cord is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Failure to do so may cause electrical shock or fire.

• Do not damage, knot, cut or modify the power cord. This may cause electrical shock or fire.

• The scanner requires a dedicated power outlet. Do not use an extension cord or power strip with the scanner.

• Use only the AC adapter that is supplied with the scanner. Do not use the scanner’s AC adapter with any other product.

• Leave sufficient space around the power outlet so it can be easily unplugged in case of an emergency.

• Do not use the scanner if it becomes inordinately hot, has a strange odor, emits smoke, or makes unfamiliar noises.
Immediately stop the scanner and disconnect the power cord from the power outlet. Contact Kodak Service.

• Do not disassemble or modify the scanner or the AC power adapter.

• Do not move the scanner with the power cord and interface cable attached. This may cause damage to the cord/cable.
Remove the power cord from the wall outlet before moving the scanner.

• Follow the Kodak recommended cleaning procedures. Do not use air, liquid or gas spray cleaners. These cleaners displace
dust, dirt and debris to another location within the scanner, which may cause the scanner to malfunction.

• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemical products are available on the Kodak website at: www.kodakalaris.com/go/
msds. When accessing the MSDSs from the website, you will be required to provide the catalog number of the consumable

Thank you for purchasing a Kodak Picture Saver Scanning System
PS50/PS80.

The Kodak Picture Saver Scanning
System PS50/PS80 allows you to easily
digitize and enhance photos and can
also be used as a general office
document scanner. Once the photos are
scanned, the images can be used in a
variety of ways (e.g., printed, emailed or
uploaded to a photo management
system for sharing and various creative
uses such as calendars, photo books or
slide show).

NOTES:

• The Kodak Picture Saver Scanning PS50/PS80 System is not
intended for public environments where access to previous scans
cannot be controlled.

• The Up and Down Scroll buttons on the scanners are not functional.

• The input tray of the Kodak PS50/PS80 Scanners hold up to 50
mixed-size photos per batch.

• Supports Mac OS V10.6 - 10

V10.9 (Maverick) and V10.10 (Yosemite) as compared with the

with
earlier versions.

- The driver works with TWAINBridge, allowing you to download
the scanner firmware to the scanner automatically when
connected to a Mac computer and turned on. TWAINBridge is in
OS V10-6, 10.7 and 10.8 and will download automatically.

- TWAINBridge will not download automatically in V10.9 and
V10.10 (Maverick/Yosemite); however, it will download when the
first Acquire Image Data is selected.

- Some applications (e.g., Vue Scan) do not work with V10.9 or
V10.10 but will on earlier versions of the OS.

- Presto! PageManager works with OS V10.6 - 10.
Element
drivers with OS V10.6 - 10.10; although TWAIN support will need
to be added for the later versions of the operating system. Check
Adobe’s website for more information for loading TWAIN support
for their products.

Scanner components

Front view

In addition to this User’s Guide, the Installation Guide provides a step­by-step procedure for installing the scanner.

1 Scanner cover — provides access to internal components; such

as, the imaging area and the feed and separation modules.

2 Input tray — holds photos or documents.
3 Side guides — slide the guides back and forth to accommodate

the size of photos you are scanning.

4 Status window — displays 0 - 9. These numbers correspond to a

predefined function. U or E is displayed if an error is encountered.

5 LED/Start button — illuminates to indicate scanner status (e.g.,

power on).

6 Up and Down Scroll buttons — not functional.
7 Output tray — collects the scanned photos or documents. When

the scanner is placed in the vertical position the output tray slides
underneath the scanner thus making the scanner compact and
easy to store. When the scanner is in use and tilted, the output tray
can be pulled out and extended to accommodate photos or
documents up to 35.56 cm (14 inches) in length.

8 End stops — can be lifted up when scanning photos for better

stacking. When the output tray is completely extended, another
pair of end stops are located at the end of the output tray. Lift these
end stops as necessary for better document stacking of longer
photos or documents.
