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.
