MACINTOSH

1)Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive. The CD icon will appear on the desktop. Double-click the icon and then double-click on the “Install RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source” icon to start the software installation procedure. If you have more than one version of Adobe Systems software (Photoshop, Photoshop LE or Photoshop Elements) on your MACINTOSH, the installer will located all instances of Import/Export folders and prompt you for the location to place the RFS 3600 module. Select the Import/Export folder of the Adobe software you expect to use most frequently and a new plug-in "Kodak RFS 3600" will be put inside the that folder. If you want to use the RFS 3600 software with more than one Adobe software package, make a copy of the RFS 3600 plug-in and place it in the additional Import/Export folders.

2)Some non-English versions of Adobe software do not name these plug-in folders Import/Export. We suggest you temporarily rename the folders to Import/Export for the software installation. After the installation is complete, change their names back to their non-English names.

3)Follow all prompts to reboot your machine.

4)The video settings for your monitor will affect the appearance of your scans and the performance of the RFS 3600 Acquire Module. For the best results, make sure your monitor is set to show Thousands of Colors or Millions of Colors. General instructions are provided here. Refer to the documentation that came with your computer for further details about changing display settings for your computer. To change color depth or screen size (resolution):

a)Open the Monitor Control Panel.

b)Your monitor type and video adapter determine the maximum number of colors available for your display. Select either thousands or millions of colors.

c)Your screen size (resolution) might change as a result of changing color settings, so you may have to trade off between the number of colors your display can show and the size of the desktop area you can work with. The minimum resolution is 800 x 600. This will help you see your pictures at the largest possible size. The Acquire Module can still be run using other resolution settings.
