Introduction

This document contains information describing the KODAK PROFESSIONAL RFS 3600 Film Scanner (RFS 3600) version 2.10 software. This software package includes a MICROSOFT WINDOWS TWAIN Data Source and a MACINTOSH Acquire Module; these two items will be referred to as the Host Software. Your RFS 3600 must have firmware version 1.34 installed for this Host Software to work properly. This document discusses the new features and layout of the version 2.10 Host Software, as well as all enhancements created since the original version 1.00 Host Software. For complete RFS 3600 information, refer to the User’s Manual on your original Host Software CD. Or, you may obtain a copy of the User’s Manual from www.kodak.com.
With respect to version 1.20 Host Software, this version of software has several user interface changes and enhancements. Also, the host computer system requirements have been updated.
If you are a new RFS 3600 owner or this is the first time you are operating the RFS 3600 on a specific PC or MACINTOSH, you must install the software first! Do not connect the film scanner to your computer and turn it on until you have installed the Host Software and turned off your computer. If your computer “finds” or “sees” the film scanner and there is no installed software to interface to it, you will not be able to use the scanner.
The screen shots seen in this document were captured from the MICROSOFT WINDOWS TWAIN Data Source display. The screens seen in the MACINTOSH Acquire Module are very similar.

Software Installation

From a CD

If you have a Version 2.10 Host Software CD, install the software as follows:

MICROSOFT WINDOWS

Please note: When installing the Host Software on some MICROSOFT WINDOWS systems, you may be presented with various dialog boxes stating the RFS 3600 Host Software has not passed MICROSOFT WINDOWS Logo Testing, or the software does not have a Microsoft Digital Signature. You may ignore these messages; click through these dialog boxes to install the RFS 3600 Host Software.
1) Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD browser should launch; click on the “Install RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source” button. If you have a previous version of RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source, the installer will display an “Uninstall” routine. Follow the Uninstall prompts to remove the previous TWAIN Data Source version; when the uninstall is completed, click on the CD browser’s “Install RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source” button again.
2) If the browser does not start when the CD is mounted, open My Computer on your MICROSOFT WINDOWS Desktop, open the RFS 3600 Host Software CD and double click the “Launch.exe” icon.
3) Follow all prompts to reboot your machine.
4) The video settings for your monitor will affect the appearance of your scans and the performance of the RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source. For the best results, make sure your Display Properties are set to show High Color or True Color (i.e., more than 256 colors). General instructions are provided here. Refer to the documentation that came with your computer for further details about changing display settings for your computer. To change color depth or screen size (resolution):
a) Click Start
b) Select Settings/Control Panel
c) Double click on the Display control panel
d) Click on the Settings tab.
e) Select either High Color or True Color. (Note: Your monitor type and video
adapter determine the maximum number of colors available for your display.)

MACINTOSH

1) Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD icon will appear on the desktop. Double-click the icon and then double-click on the “Install RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source” icon to start the software installation procedure. If you have more than one version of Adobe Systems software (Photoshop, Photoshop LE or Photoshop Elements) on your MACINTOSH, the installer will located all instances of Import/Export folders and prompt you for the location to place the RFS 3600 module. Select the Import/Export folder of the Adobe software you expect to use most frequently and a new plug-in "Kodak RFS 3600" will be put inside the that folder. If you want to use the RFS 3600 software with more than one Adobe software package, make a copy of the RFS 3600 plug-in and place it in the additional Import/Export folders.
2) Some non-English versions of Adobe software do not name these plug-in folders Import/Export. We suggest you temporarily rename the folders to Import/Export for the software installation. After the installation is complete, change their names back to their non-English names.
3) Follow all prompts to reboot your machine.
4) The video settings for your monitor will affect the appearance of your scans and the performance of the RFS 3600 Acquire Module. For the best results, make sure your monitor is set to show Thousands of Colors or Millions of Colors. General instructions are provided here. Refer to the documentation that came with your computer for further details about changing display settings for your computer. To change color depth or screen size (resolution):
a) Open the Monitor Control Panel.
b) Your monitor type and video adapter determine the maximum number of colors
available for your display. Select either thousands or millions of colors.
c) Your screen size (resolution) might change as a result of changing color settings,
so you may have to trade off between the number of colors your display can show and the size of the desktop area you can work with. The minimum resolution is 800 x 600. This will help you see your pictures at the largest possible size. The Acquire Module can still be run using other resolution settings.

5) Follow the monitor setup steps in 4) above.
6) If the installation files are copied to a network drive, the installation may fail with the message "The parameter is incorrect." if the network path to the installation directory is too long. This problem can be resolved by moving the installation directory to a location with a shorter network path

MACINTOSH

1) Double click the installer file from the download and installation will begin. During installation, the installer will check your computer for the ADOBE PHOTOSHOP; ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LE and PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS applications. You must have at least one of these applications on your MACINTOSH for the RFS 3600 Acquire Module installer to complete its installation.
2) If you have more than one version of Adobe Systems software (ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LE or PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS) on your MACINTOSH, the installer will located all instances of Import/Export folders and prompt you for the location to place the RFS 3600 module. Select the Import/Export folder of the Adobe software you expect to use most frequently and a new plug-in "Kodak RFS 3600" will be put inside the that folder. If you want to use the RFS 3600 software with more than one Adobe software package, make a copy of the RFS 3600 plug-in and place it in the additional Import/Export folders.
3) Some non-English versions of ADOBE PHOTOSHOP software do not name these plug-in folders Import/Export. We suggest you rename the folders for the software installation, and afterwards change their names back.
4) After the software installation is completed, you MUST "Restart" your MACINTOSH as directed by the installer.
5) Follow the monitor setup steps in 4) above.

Post-Installation

To ensure that the prescan image in the RFS 3600 software matches the final scan which is transferred into ADOBE PHOTOSHOP, please take the following steps: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 5.0 or 5.5 – navigate to the File>Color Settings>RGB Setup menu. Make sure that the "Display Using Monitor Compensation" box is not checked and click the OK button. ADOBE PHOTOSHOP 6.0 – navigate to the Edit>Color Settings menu. In the Settings dropdown listing, select Color Management Off. Performing these setups ensures that ADOBE PHOTOSHOP does not apply an additional profile to the image after it has been scanned.
0
Launch the RFS 3600 Film Scanner Host Software and make sure the monitor and output profiles selected in the Settings tab are the same. (Selecting the Kodak sRGB Display profile should produce satisfactory results in most cases). The monitor profile controls how the prescan image is rendered and the output profile controls how the final scan is rendered. If these profiles are the same, the prescan shown in the RFS 3600 Host Software should match the final scan which appears in ADOBE PHOTOSHOP.
If you are using the Scan to File feature, review the new Embed Output Profile function which has been implemented in this software release.

Firmware

Your RFS 3600 Film Scanner must have firmware version 1.34 installed before version
2.10 or later Host Software can operate the film scanner. This version 2.10 Host Software
may be used to upgrade your film scanner’s firmware. Your film scanner may already have this firmware version installed. If it does not, use the firmware file 3600_133.bin located the Firmware folder on the Host Software CD. If you do not have the Host Software CD, you may obtain the firmware file from www.kodak.com. See Page 60 of the User’s Manual and the Information Icon section of this document for the film scanner firmware upgrade procedure.
