Installing TWAIN-compliant KODAK Driver(s) and the Calibration File

NOTES: We assume that a technician has installed a supported SCSI host adapter card in your PC. If that has not occurred, obtain and install an appropriate SCSI host adapter card — an ASPI compliant host adapter card such as those available from Adaptec, Inc. running EZ-SCSI 3.0 (or later) or a Future Domain SCSI host adapter as specified in chapter 1.

If you will be using an ASPI compliant SCSI host adapter card, you must install the Windows ASPI files that accompany it. The KODAK Driver for use with ASPI compliant host adapter cards will not work properly unless these files have been installed.

In this section you will install the special software driver(s) provided with the camera back for use with TWAIN-compliant PC applications as well as a calibration file for your camera back. Then in later sections of this chapter you can use the driver to ensure that the camera back has the latest firmware (camera back control programming), and to format a PCMCIA card(s). Once the software is installed, you can also use it regularly to move images and sound files from the DCS 465 Camera Back to your PC, as described in chapter 8.

Installing the software is a onetime action; you complete these steps once, and do not repeat them each time you want to acquire images. The DCS 465 Camera Back can remain connected to the AC battery charger/ adapter while you complete these steps.

The process described in this section automatically:

Creates (if one does not already exist), a subdirectory named “TWAIN” in the Windows directory.

Creates (if one does not already exist), a “DCS4XX” subdirectory within the “TWAIN” directory.
