Appendix A: Using the Service and

Assembly Module (SAM)

The Service and Assembly Module (SAM) software performs many of the same
functions as other host software. Its primary purpose for users is to validate that
your scanner is working correctly and to allow you to perform simple scan
functions. There are also service and diagnostics functions that should be used
only with the assistance of a Kodak service representative.

Functions supported by the SAM software are:

setting a magnification

calibrating the scanner

setting the image processing mode (negative or positive)

autofocusing at any given magnification

defining the area to be scanned

scanning and transferring images from the scanner to the host computer

performing miscellaneous features such as:

turning the lamp on and off

resetting the lamp-on timer

rebooting the scanner

retrieving scanner usage information

displaying software version information

backing up and restoring critical scanner files
