Before You Begin - Kodak PROFESSIONAL HR 500 Plus User Manual

Before You Begin

It is important that you know when to calibrate and when to focus the scanner. The
table below is a guideline for calibrating and focusing. Focusing can occur as
infrequently as when a different film format is scanned or as frequently as every
scan.
Changing the magnification
Replacing the lamp
Changing the balance filter position from negative
to positive or from positive to negative
The scanner has not been calibrated at least twice
during the first half of a production shift
Cleaning the light bar
Replacing the balance filters or the IR filter
Changing the film holder size without changing the
magnification
Scanning slides and aperture cards
Changing from scanning a long roll to scanning a
cut negative
* The need to calibrate partially depends on whether you are using stored
calibrations and the length of time the calibrations are stored (usually about 3
hours)
You can manipulate scanned images using a program such as the Kodak
Professional Digital Print Production Software (DP2) or the Kodak Professional
HR 500 TWAIN Data Source before sending the images to your digital printer.
