Introduction
Now you can scan your printed photos and negative films and store them on your memory card. No computer is necessary. Simply
insert a memory card into the scanner, and power it on. When the unit is ready, feed your printed photo or negative film into the
scanner and your pictures will be stored on the memory card. It’s as easy as that.
If you want to transfer your photos directly into your PC, it’s just as easy via a USB cable and our Scan PC Software (page 12).

Customer Support: http://www.pandigital.net/kodaksupport 7
1. Insert the photo into the plastic sheath as shown.
2. Insert the plastic sheath into the feed slot of the scanner.
Use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to wipe dust from the original and the plastic sheath.
Keep the original flat and level when feeding to prevent jamming.
Keep originals free from finger prints, oil, dirt, and dust for optimum scanned image quality.
Remove photos from the plastic sheath after scanning to prevent the plastic sheath from sticking to the photos over time.
Store plastic sheaths in a safe place and protect them from dust.
Orientation of the Original and Scanned Picture
It’s easy to see how scanned pictures will appear on your computer. Note: You can rotate pictures on your computer.
Scanning the same original in different orientations may produce scanned pictures that look slightly different in color tones and
brightness. This is not a malfunction.
Operating the Scanner
Preparation and Initial Setup
1. Peel off the tape that secures the guide lever (first time only).
2. Connect the plug on the power adapter to the power connector on the scanner.
3. Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
The type of power plug and socket illustrated may differ from that of your region.
4. Insert the KODAK MICROSD Mobile Card into the SD adapter (included) or an unlocked (writable) memory
card into the memory card slot.
Always insert a memory card before scanning.
Make sure the memory card is unlocked (writable)
The scanner only accepts memory cards in FAT or FAT32 file system. NTFS and other file systems are not
supported.
Turning on the Scanner
1. Press the
Power button. The power indicator and Status/Card lights blink. (For more indicator lights
information, refer to “Indicator Lights” on page 5.)

2. Wait until the power indicator stops blinking and then turns off. The Status/Card indicator will stay on steady,
indicating that the scanner is ready.
Do not insert an original into the feed slot when the power indicator is blinking; the original will not be
scanned.
Scanning a Photo
1. Insert your photo into the plastic sheath (included with scanner).
2. With the photo facing upward and in correct orientation, place one edge of the photo on the scanner
and adjust the guide lever so that the photo aligns against the left side of the feed slot.
3. Insert the original level and flat into the feed slot.
CAUTION: Do not scan glossy photos in humid environments (humidity higher than 70% RH); the surface of the photo will
become sticky and may cause the scanner to jam.
The original will be fed through the slot and scanned automatically; the Power and Status/Card indicator
lights blink while scanning.
To prevent poor image quality, reserve adequate space behind the scanner for the photo to complete the
scan feeds.
When scanning is completed, the Power and Status/Card indicator lights blink while the scanner stores
the photo on the memory card.
Wait until the indicator lights stop blinking before inserting and scanning the next photo.
CAUTION: Insert only one photo at a time, and insert the next photo only when the previous one is done. Otherwise the
scanner may malfunction.
Do not remove the memory card or disconnect the power supply while the indicators are blinking.
This scanner produces JPEG (.jpg) file formats. The date/ time attribute will not be added.
For more information on how this scanner stores the scanned picture files on the memory card, refer to “Orientation” on
page 7.
If the memory card is nearly full (less than 1MB remaining), the Status/Card indicator blinks (refer to “Indicator Lights” on
page 5). Use another card or transfer pictures to your computer.
To turn off the scanner, press and hold the power button for one second. The power indicator will blink and
then go off.
Now you can safely disconnect the power and remove the memory card from the scanner.
The scanner will automatically turn off if it’s left idle for 15 minutes. (If it’s connected to a computer, the scanner
will not automatically turn off.)
Scanning 35mm Negatives
This scanner only supports the scanning of 35mm negative/monochrome 6-frame filmstrips, commonly available from your
local photo studios.
Filmstrips in certain conditions are not suitable for scanning. Refer to Suitable and Unsuitable Original Types on
page 5.
Auto Image Mirror/Flip
The scanner can detect the orientation of a filmstrip when the printed numbers on the edge of the filmstrip are in the
same orientation as the picture.
If you feed the filmstrip with the image mirrored or upside-down, the scanner will automatically adjust the scanned
image during the scan.
Guide Lever

Customer Support: http://www.pandigital.net/kodaksupport 9
The following orientations would result in the same scanned image:
For example, the bottom image (above) is upside-down but the numbers are right-side up. If fed in this
orientation, the picture would not be rotated, resulting in the scanned picture remaining upside-down.
Feeding Filmstrips
1. Make sure that the feed slot is clear of any original.
2. Slide the paper guide lever all the way to the right side of the feed slot.
3. Align the 35mm Negative adapter with the adapter grooves and then gently insert it all the way into the feed
slot, being careful not to bend the metal parts.
When installed properly, the adapter should firmly snap into place, and the scanner will begin a
calibration.
Wait until indicator lights are in the “Ready to use” status before proceeding.
CAUTION: For accurate film scanning, the adapter must remain snapped into position after the
calibration has completed. If you move the adapter, scanning will give inaccurate results.
If necessary, remove and re-insert the film adapter properly to re-calibrate.
4. Hold up the negative towards light, with the image facing you in normal orientation (not mirror or upside
down).
5. Insert the filmstrip into the 35mm Negative adapter.
The filmstrip will be fed into the slot and scanned. The Power and Status/Card indicator lights blink while
scanning.
Common filmstrip length is up to 6 negatives. To prevent poor image quality, reserve adequate space behind
the scanner for the filmstrip to complete the scan feeds.
While scanning a filmstrip, the scanner automatically recognizes the filmstrip type (positive, monochrome, or
negative) and determines the best suitable scan and color enhancement settings for scanning.
The scanner scans filmstrips at a higher resolution; therefore the scanning speed is slower than that of photo
scanning. This is not a malfunction.

Final scanned image
If the numbers and image are not in the same orientation, or if numbers are damaged,
the auto mirror/flip function will not rotate the image.
Pay attention to the direction of the
filmstrip when inserting.

When scanning is completed, the Power and Status/Card indicator lights blink while the scanner stores the
photo on the memory card.
Wait until the indicator lights stop blinking before inserting and scanning the next photo.
CAUTION: Insert only one filmstrip at a time, and insert the next filmstrip only when the previous one is done. Otherwise
the scanner may malfunction.
Do not remove the memory card or disconnect the power supply while the indicators are blinking.
This scanner produces JPEG (.jpg) file formats. The date/ time attribute will not be added.
If the memory card is nearly full (less than 1 MB remaining), the Status/Card indicator blinks (refer to “Indicator Lights” on
page 5). Use another card or transfer pictures to your computer.
To remove the 35mm Negative adapter after all filmstrips are scanned, gently pull it out from the feed slot.
To power down the scanner, press and hold the power button for one second. The power indicator will blink
and then go off.
Now you can safely disconnect the power and remove the memory card from the scanner.
Automatic Image Cropping
The scanner has a built-in cropping function that detects and crops dark edges of an original during the scan process (see
following illustration).
Cropping size (as measured on the original)
Use the plastic sheath when scanning originals that are sized or shaped other than the standard 3.5”x5” or 4”x6”.
Depending on the shape, you may want to perform additional manual cropping on the scanned image, using your own
photo editing software, to achieve your desired final image.
When scanning darker originals (for example, a photo of the night sky),
over-cropping may occur. Please insert the original in a different direction
(orientation) and try again.
When scanning over-exposed, older or lighter color (faded) filmstrip originals,
an irregular auto-cropping may occur. Cut the filmstrip into individual films and
rescan them.
Connect Scanner to a PC
By connecting the scanner to a computer, you can access the scanned pictures on the memory card directly, or use the scanner
as a memory card reader, so that you can freely copy, paste or delete files to and from the memory card using the PC.
