3 Validating the Scanner

This chapter includes instructions for using the Service and Assembly Module (SAM) and Adobe Photoshop software to validate that the scanner functions properly.

NOTES: For more information about using the Service and Assembly module software on the host computer, see Appendix A.

Before scanning for the first time, set up a folder (on your host computer) for your work. Especially if you have more than one scanner, include the scanner serial number (on the dataplate on the back of the scanner) in the folder name.

IMPORTANT: The empty 70MM-CAL film holder must be in position in the scanner before you start SAM. See Placing the Empty Film Holder in the Film Holder Guide on page 2-6.

Starting the SAM Software

1.Open SAM. The Operations window appears with the Mag/Focus tab displayed.
