You must install this software first, before connecting your RFS 3600 film scanner to your PC System. This should be done whether you will be using the USB or the SCSI interface.
It is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions of
The KODAK RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source before installing this
new version. To uninstall a previous version, click
Start/Settings/Control Panel, then double click Add/Remove
Programs. On the Add/Remove Programs Properties dialog,
Install/Uninstall tab, select the previous version of the
KODAK RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source, then click the Add/Remove
button.
To install the KODAK RFS 3600 TWAIN Data Source, navigate
on your computer's hard drive to the location where you
downloaded the file from the Kodak Web site. Double
click the file and then you will be prompted for a
location to save the expanded files. For example, save
to location C:\Kodak. The default location will be C:\Temp.
Next, in the expanded files folder, you will
find the structure: ..\RFS 3600 SW INSTALLER\DISK_1.
Inside the DISK_1 folder, double click the Setup.exe
icon.
If you have a previous version of the RFS 3600
Film Scanner TWAIN Data Source, a message will appear
telling you the older TWAIN must be removed before the
new TWAIN can be installed. Click OK and the removal
process will execute.
Once the old TWAIN is removed, the installation of the
new TWAIN will launch automatically. If it does not,
double click the setup.exe icon again. When the installation
screens for the new TWAIN appears, follow the directions
on the screens.
If the installation files are copied to a network drive,
the installation may fail with the message "The parameter is
incorrect." if the network path to the installation
directory is too long. This problem can be resolved by
moving the installation directory to a location with a
shorter network path.

Updates / Corrections to your non-English language RFS 3600 Film
Scanner User's Manual
- Page 15, step 4 - Your scanner was shipped with two power
cords, not two power plugs.
- Page 32 and other pages - The Green check mark button is now
referred to as the Exit button.
- Page 28 - The drawing showing the insertion of a mounted slide
into the scanner is wrong. The slide should be inserted with the
film frame's long dimension at the top.
- Page 33, step 4 and page 65 - Here is a clearer explanation of
the difference between the 8-Bit and 12-Bit modes:
Set Color Depth by choosing either 8-Bit or 12-Bit per channel
from the Color Depth drop-down list. With either setting, the
scanner performs a 12-bit prescan or scan. However, the setting
you choose determines how much data is then transferred from the
scanner to the TWAIN Data Source. With 12-Bit selected, the full
12 bits of data per pixel are transferred. With 8-Bit selected,
only 8 bits are transferred. Transferring less data (8 bits) requires
less time; however, transferring more data (12 bits) means the
data reaching the TWAIN Data Source will provide higher quality
results. Even if you select 8-Bit, the data are expanded to 12-bit
once it is transferred to the host software. Therefore
with either choice (8-Bit or 12-Bit), further image processing
in the host software is done in 12-bit mode. Finally, with
either choice, when the data is moved into ADOBE PHOTOSHOP by the
host software, ADOBE PHOTOSHOP converts the data into a single 8-bit
byte-per-pixel.
- Page 34, step C - change to: If the frame is not centered
properly in the scan position, tap the Reverse or Forward
buttons...
- Page 40 - change to: If you prescan when the Film Type is set

you must apply these features to the image in that window
and not in the preview image or the After image beneath.
- Page 55, Auto Focus Slide topic - The total range of the
slide focus position may be an integer from 1 to 40. Thin
slide mounts may use this entire range. However, thicker
slide mounts will have a smaller manual focus range.
- Page 61, Exit button topic- change to: If you click Exit
to close the host software after you have prescanned frames
but have not performed a final scan on all of those frames,
a confirmation box is displayed.
- Page 65, Profiles (Monitor and Depth) topic: If your
desired output color space is not listed, choose KODAK
sRGB_Display.

filename. Try again with a filename that meets
requirements for your operating system.
- Page 90, dpi error message, it should read: The
Scan Resolution will be set to 3600dpi/72dpi...
- Page 92, output resolution error message, change to:
The output resolution you have entered is not within the
range of the Host software.
- Page 92 - ICC profile error message, change to:
There is a problem with the ICC profile. If the file was
installed with the host software, quit ADOBE PHOTOSHOP,
then run the installation program again, and click Repair. Try the
host software again. If the same problem occurs, quit ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
again. Run the installation program, but this time click Remove.
Then run the installation program again. This reinstalls the
host software. Try the host software again. If you obtained the
file from another source, such as through a download from the
Web, obtain and reinstall a fresh copy of that file.

Representative will instruct you on what should be returned with
your scanner.

output is in 8-bit).
