Product Description
With the Kodak Professional HR 500 Plus Film Scanner and the Kodak
Professional HR Universal Film Scanners, you can quickly generate high-
resolution digital images from photographic negatives and positives.
You can digitally capture images and store them in files up to 128 MB (format
dependent) in size. The scanner is capable of variable magnifications from
0.5 to 2.0.
The new DIGITAL ICE technology corrects blemishes and defects on negatives
and reduces your post-print retouching time.
With the HR 500 Plus Film Scanner, you can use films ranging from 35 mm to 70
mm widths, including 46 mm width film and the 120 series formats, with up to 90
mm frame lengths.
With the HR Universal Scanner, you can use all film formats, from 35 mm to 70
mm widths, including 46 mm width film, the 120 series formats, and 4 x 5 sheet
film, with up to 125 mm frame lengths.
How the Scanner Works
The image on the film is focused onto a Charged Coupled Device (CCD) that has
three parallel linear rows of light-sensitive elements, one row for each color. Each
of these lines is exposed to a corresponding line of image on the film. The time to
expose each line properly is controlled electronically and is a function of the:
•
•
•
•
sensitivity of the CCD
amount and spectral distribution of light from the light source
lens aperture
magnification factor
After the exposure, the data from the photosensitive sites on the CCD is
transferred to readout registers for each line, where it is then shifted out and
digitized one pixel at a time. While the data is shifted out, the next set of lines is
exposed.
The film is moved to expose a new line of the image for each set of lines read from
the CCD. This motion is precisely controlled to ensure that the aspect ratio of the
image is not changed and that the colors align correctly when the data is
recombined to correct for the distance between the sensor rows.

Focusing
With the negative or mounted slide installed in the scanner, use the software
installed on your host computer to focus the scanner.
IMPORTANT: The need for focusing is partially dependent on the “depth of field.”
When the magnification is lower—for example, 0.5—the depth of
field is greater and the focus tolerance is high. As the magnification
increases, the depth of field and the focus tolerance decrease.
Therefore, it may be necessary to focus more frequently for higher
magnifications.
Scanning a Single Frame
Using the software installed on your host computer, scan the negative or mounted
slide.
Shutting Down the Scanner
Follow this procedure when you do not plan to use the scanner for extended
periods of time, such as over the weekend.
1. Close the host software program.
2. Turn off power to the scanner.

4 Maintaining the Equipment
This chapter contains procedures to be done by the person who is responsible for
maintenance of the HR Film Scanners.
Items required for maintenance are:
•
•
•
•
•
Kodak camel’s-hair brush (provided)
dry, untreated microfiber cleaning cloth
lint-free cloth
white cotton gloves
Phillips-head screwdriver
Cleaning Procedures
To minimize the need for cleaning the scanner and to reduce the possibility of
artifacts, make sure your scanner is in a clean, low-traffic area that does not
collect much dust. Wood, tile, linoleum, or sealed concrete floors are preferable to
carpet.
Clean the surface of the scanner with a damp lint-free cloth as needed.
IMPORTANT: Please read the following before performing any cleaning
procedures.
Avoid using pressurized air or canned air near the scanner.
If it is necessary to use canned air to clean film, direct the air
stream away from the scanner.
Instructions for cleaning the balance and IR filters are included under
IMPORTANT: The balance and IR filters are made of glass and are expensive to
replace. They are not included in the product warranty or service
contract. Use care when handling the balance and IR filters.
When you remove the filters, inspect them. Cleaning may be all that is required.
Otherwise, replace the filters as needed.
Cleaning the Lens
IMPORTANT: Wear white cotton gloves for this procedure to prevent oils and dirt
from being absorbed into the microfiber cleaning cloth.
1. Use the software installed on your host computer to set the magnification to
2.00, which positions the lens as near to the front of the scanner as possible.
2. Clean the front of the lens with the supplied camel’s-hair brush.
3. Check that the lens is clean; if not, clean with a dry, untreated microfiber
cleaning cloth.

Maintaining the Equipment
Cleaning the Light Bar
If artifacts appear on your scanned images, clean the light bar.
IMPORTANT: Wear white cotton gloves for this procedure to prevent oils and dirt
from being absorbed into the microfiber cleaning cloth.
1. Fold a dry, untreated microfiber cleaning cloth so the edge of the cloth is
about the thickness of the light bar.
NOTE: You can use an e-wipe, manufactured by Photographic Solutions, Inc.,
instead of a microfiber cleaning cloth.
2. Gently move the edge of the microfiber cloth or e-wipe down the length of the
light bar one time.
3. Calibrate the scanner.
4. If an artifact remains after cleaning the light bar, check the light bar with a
magnifying glass for damage, such as a scratch or a chip. If there is damage
to the light bar, contact your Kodak representative for service.
Replacement Procedures
Replacing the Lamp
White cotton gloves are required for this procedure.
One spare lamp is provided with the scanner.

Appendix D: Using the Long Roll
Accessory
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.
IMPORTANT: The Long Roll Accessory must not be installed when you scan a
4 x 5-in. image.
Because of the variability of both film editors and scanners, you must:
• set the punch reader height
• calibrate the sensor offsets if you are using SAM to operate your
scanner
• use aperture plates dedicated to your scanner
For the highest quality scans:
•
before scanning, to reduce the chance of artifacts, clean the film with Super
equivalent cleaner that has ionized air and particle transfer rollers (PTR)
•
•
•
install and use the appropriate static elimination kit (see Appendix B: Ordering
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
CAUTION: Kodak recommends that you use one-inch film cores with the
Long Roll Accessory. However, your lab may require that you use
3/4-inch film cores. It is critical that the fast forward and rewind
speeds are correct for the size core you use. The fast forward and
rewind speeds should never be greater than 10 inches per second.
If you use
One-inch film cores
3/4-inch film cores
Maximum speed is 10

Loading and Threading Film
IMPORTANT: Careful handling of film is extremely important. Before loading film,
clean the film with Super Film Cleaner or an equivalent cleaner that
has ionized air and particle transfer rollers (PTR).
Use canned air to clean the punch readers before threading film.
Before loading film, make sure you have at least 2 feet (.6 meters)
of leader at each end of the roll.
CAUTION: In the steps below, be sure you determine and use the correct
orientation of the flange. Incorrect setup will result in film tracking
problems and loose takeups.
1. Determine the orientation of the flange for the reel or core you selected for
loading:

Adjusting the Punch Reader Height
Adjust both the left and right reader heights such that the punch reader fully
distinguishes between a data hole and film.
No specific numbers represent data holes or film, but lower numbers indicate the
presence of film and higher numbers indicate the presence of data holes. (See
LED numbers.)
For both the left and right readers:
1. On the Film Controls window, click Position > several times to advance the
film. As you advance the film, the reader should sense both holes and film.
If you do not see a significantly higher number after you see data holes,
2. When you see a significantly higher number, stop advancing the film. Turn the
adjusting screw until the number is maximized.
For example, as you click Position >, you may see a value of 580, but when
you stop advancing the film and turn the adjusting screw, you may see a value
of 620. This indicates a more effective reader height.

Determining the Left Trigger Point
1. On the Film Controls window of SAM, click Position > to advance the film and
determine the “average” low number (indicating the presence of film) on the
left LED.
An example is 120.
2. Subtract the average low number from the highest number you recorded in
An example of the highest number is 800. Subtracting 120 from 800 results in
680.
Continuing the example, 680 divided by 4 equals 170.
The result is the left trigger point. Record this number.
Continuing the example, 170 added to 120 equals 290; 290 would be the left
trigger point.

Using the Long Roll Accessory
Appendix D-6: Film Splicing and Editing Guidelines
Follow these guidelines to ensure the scanner correctly reads the data holes.
IMPORTANT: When splicing rolls of film, always splice first, then edit.
NOTE: The drawings are not to scale.
Because the splice material
is sticky, it is possible for
residue to remain on the
splice material after editing.
splice material
Use care with
sticky splice
material
Ensure that light can shine
through all holes.
film
Be careful to avoid
accidentally punching a
frame twice, which results in
too many holes for the
scanner to interpret.
Avoid over-
punching
Too much splice material is
cut, causing incomplete
punches.
Cut splice
material flush
with the film
Not enough splice material
is cut. This will interfere with
correct film tracking.
The punches are on the
edge of the film. The
punches must be
completely within the
frames.
Make sure
editing results
in holes
entirely within
the frames
