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
