Appendix D: Using the Long Roll Accessory

The Kodak Professional HR 500 Film Scanner Long Roll Accessory lets you scan rolls of 35 mm-, 46 mm-, 70 mm-, and 120/220-size edited film.

IMPORTANT: The Long Roll Accessory must not be installed when you scan a 4 x 5-in. image.

Because of the variability of both film editors and scanners, you must:

•set the punch reader height

•calibrate the sensor offsets if you are using SAM to operate your scanner

•use aperture plates dedicated to your scanner

For the highest quality scans:

•before scanning, to reduce the chance of artifacts, clean the film with Super Film Cleaner (see Appendix B: Ordering Accessories and Supplies) or an equivalent cleaner that has ionized air and particle transfer rollers (PTR)

•install and use the appropriate static elimination kit (see Appendix B: Ordering Accessories and Supplies)

•follow daily maintenance procedures to clean the rollers and the punch readers on the Long Roll Accessory

•calibrate the scanner for each new roll of film

CAUTION: Kodak recommends that you use one-inch film cores with the Long Roll Accessory. However, your lab may require that you use 3/4-inch film cores. It is critical that the fast forward and rewind speeds are correct for the size core you use. The fast forward and rewind speeds should never be greater than 10 inches per second.

If you use		One-inch film cores	3/4-inch film cores
