==================
Contents of the CDROM
==================
The installation software is located on the CDROM. The installer
uses serveral folders and file.
This ReadMe.txt file is located on your installation
CDROM in the "RFS 3600 SW INSTALLER\Disk1" folder. For best
results when printing with Notepad, select "File/Page Setup"
and set "Orientation" to "Landscape".
The User's Manual is included on the installation CD in the folder
named Manuals. Each supported language is in its own folder.
Along with each manual is a language specific ADOBE ACROBAT
READER version 5.0 installer. After installing ACROBAT READER
version 5.0, you must reboot your machine for ACROBAT READER to
function properly.
A User's Manual Addendum is included on the installation CD. You
must review this Addendum to learn about the new features in this
software release.
A firmware binary file is included on the installation CD. You
must use this firmware file with this new software release.
Information is provided in the User's Manual Addendum.
============
Installation
============
Important: You must install this software first, before connecting
your RFS 3600 film scanner to your computer. This should be
done whether you use the USB or the SCSI interface.
To install the KODAK RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source, place the CDROM
into your CDROM drive. The CDROM is set up to automatically run
Launch.exe, which runs a CDROM Browser utility. Click the button
labeled "Install RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source" to run the installer.
If Launch.exe does not run automatically, click Start and choose
Run. At the prompt enter the following:
D:\Launch.exe
where D is the CDROM drive letter. You can also navigate to the
root of the installation CDROM and double click on the Launch.exe
file.
It is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions of the
KODAK RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source before installing this new
version. To uninstall a previous version, click
Start/Settings/Control Panel, then double click Add/Remove
Programs. On the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog,
Install/Uninstall tab, select the previous version of the KODAK
RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source, then click the Add/Remove button.
If the installation files are copied from the CDROM 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.
============
New Features
============
Your RFS 3600 Film Scanner must have firmware Version 1.34
installed before the new software may be used. Your new
film scanner should already have this firmware installed.
If it does not, the firmware file 3600_134.bin is on the
CDROM in the Firmware folder. Or, you may obtain an updated
firmware file from www.kodak.com; see the RFS 3600 User's Manual
for the film scanner's firmware upgrade procedure.
Note: Review the User's Manual Addendum which is on the
software CDROM. Or, obtain from it www.kodak.com. All
the new features of the Version 2.10 software are explained
in the Addendum. The new features are too numerous to list
in this ReadMe.

Source dialog, including the KODAK PROFESSIONAL RFS 3600 TWAIN
Data Source User Interface.

Functional Clarifications
=========================
Updates / Corrections to your non-English language RFS 3600 Film
Scanner User's Manual
1. Page 15, step 4 - Your scanner was shipped with two power
cords, not two power plugs.
2. Page 32 and other pages - The Green check mark button is now
referred to as the Exit button.
3. Page 28 - The drawing showing the insertion of a mounted slide
into the scanner is wrong. The slide should be inserted with the
film frame's long dimension at the top.
4. Page 33, step 4 and page 65 - Here is a clearer explanation of
the difference between the 8-Bit and 12-Bit modes:
Set Color Depth by choosing either 8-Bit or 12-Bit per channel
from the Color Depth drop-down list. With either setting, the
scanner performs a 12-bit prescan or scan. However, the setting
you choose determines how much data is then transferred from the
scanner to the TWAIN Data Source. With 12-Bit selected, the full
12 bits of data per pixel are transferred. With 8-Bit selected,
only 8 bits are transferred. Transferring less data (8 bits) requires
less time; however, transferring more data (12 bits) means the
data reaching the TWAIN Data Source will provide higher quality
results. Even if you select 8-Bit, the data are expanded to 12-bit
once it is transferred to the host software. Therefore
with either choice (8-Bit or 12-Bit), further image processing
in the host software is done in 12-bit mode. Finally, with
either choice, when the data is moved into ADOBE PHOTOSHOP by the
host software, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP converts the data into a single 8-bit
byte-per-pixel.
5. Page 34, step C - change to: If the frame is not centered
properly in the scan position, tap the Reverse or Forward
buttons...
6. Page 40 - change to: If you prescan when the Film Type is set
to Reversal, the SBA is not applied by default and the button
remains off (up). However, by selecting the SBA button, you can
activate the SBA.
7. Page 44, step 6: Set the channel to All, or separately to Red,
Green, or Blue;
8. Page 44, step 8 - change to: If necessary, click the Reset
button to undo all color adjustments made to the image during
this visit to this tab.
9. Page 53 - change the first sentence on the page to:
you must apply these features to the image in that window
and not in the preview image or the After image beneath.
10. Page 55, Auto Focus Slide topic - The total range of the
slide focus position may be an integer from 1 to 40. Thin
slide mounts may use this entire range. However, thicker
slide mounts will have a smaller manual focus range.
11. Page 61, Exit button topic- change to: If you click Exit
to close the host software after you have prescanned frames
but have not performed a final scan on all of those frames,
a confirmation box is displayed.
12. Page 65, Profiles (Monitor and Depth) topic: If your
desired output color space is not listed, choose KODAK
sRGB_Display.
13. Page 72, the Save Scan Profiles function has been
changed to a Manage Scan Profiles system.
14. Page 78, fifth paragraph - When multiple frames are
selected, the values displayed on the screen are those
for the frame shown in the image area.
15. Page 88, section titled: "Images scanned from slides
are not focused properly." Add: The assumption is made
that the camera was properly focused when it capture
the image.
16. Page 90, first message explanation:
You have used improper characters in the scan profile
filename. Try again with a filename that meets
requirements for your operating system.
17. Page 90, dpi error message, it should read: The
Scan Resolution will be set to 3600dpi/72dpi...
18. Page 92, output resolution error message, change to:
The output resolution you have entered is not within the
range of the Host software.
19. Page 92 - ICC profile error message, change to:
There is a problem with the ICC profile. If the file was
installed with the host software, quit ADOBE PHOTOSHOP,
then run the installation program again, and click Repair. Try the
host software again. If the same problem occurs, quit ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
again. Run the installation program, but this time click Remove.
Then run the installation program again. This reinstalls the
host software. Try the host software again. If you obtained the
file from another source, such as through a download from the
Web, obtain and reinstall a fresh copy of that file.
20. Page 96, shipping instruction - your Kodak Service
Representative will instruct you on what should be returned with
your scanner.
21. Page 100, Scanner Software Specifications, Color Depth,
change to: Selectable between 8-bits and 12-bits per channel
(image processing is always performed in 12-bit data space and
output is in 8-bit)
22. Page 101, Scanner Software Specifications, Scan File
Size, change to: Approximately 50 megabytes (MB) for 8-bit
scans on full 35mm frames at 3600 dpi input resolution.
23. Page 103, Scanner Software Specifications, Prescan
section, change to: To perform an initial 300 dpi
scan of a frame resulting in a thumbnail, as well as a larger
version of the image,...
