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.

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
