Light Source
The F-235 uses a 50 Watt Solux Halogen light bulb. During scans, the bulb operate at stan-
dard voltage. After completing a scan operation, the bulb power will be reduced to a lower volt-
age to increase the bulb’s life expectancy. Using an alternative light source will cause image
quality problems.

Film Types and Variations


• The F-235 is designed to scan film in 35mm and 24mm (APS) formats. Color negative, color
reversal (positive or slide) film, black and white, C-41 processed black and white films are all
supported.
• APS film can only be scanned once removed from the canister, but cannot be cut into strips.
All APS formats (C, H, and P) will scan only in full frame (H) format.
• 35mm cut strips are supported in sizes from 2 frames to 40 frames. However, to ensure DX
code reading, the strips must be a minimum of 3 frames.
• Mounted slides are not supported.

Scanner Theory
The F-235 film scanner is a stand alone USB 2.0 device, designed as a high speed scan-
ning solution. It is highly flexible, and can easily be integrated into a larger digital photo process-
ing system, or operated as an independent scanning device, attached to a host computer.

Optical Tower
The scanner is designed around an optical tower, which suspends the lens and CCD
assembly above the film track. Both the lens and CCD assembly are on stepper motors that move
up and down on these stepper bars. There are four sets of stepper positions: one for 8 Base and 16
Base focus positions for 35MM and APS. Each of these positions are determined by calibration,
performed during manufacturing or by authorized service technicians. 4 Base scan resolution uses
16 Base resolution that uses CCD binning to create a lower resolution. The client interface soft-
ware moves the lens and CCD assembly into the proper position after the user selects the resolu-
tion in which to scan.

Light Assembly
At the bottom of the optical tower is a small piece of glass suspended by two set screws.
This glass piece is the illuminator, or light transfer bar. The film track transports the film under-
neath the optical tower, but above the light transfer bar. The light transfer bar illuminates the
scanning area. The CCD chip senses the light and converts it into digital information.
The light assembly houses the Digital ICE hardware. This hardware is responsible for
removing scratches and defects in the film. When a four channel scan is initialized, this hardware
activates. The software then looks at the fourth channel (defect channel) and removes defects
from the RGB channels.

CCD Chip and Assembly


The CCD chip is trilinear--it senses three colors: red, green, and blue. Film traveling for-
ward through the film track. A skew in the CCD assembly will cause scanned images to be
skewed. The result would turn “Skew” into “Skew.” The image would appear slanted, as the itali-
cized “skew” demonstrates. A skew adjustment procedure is performed during the scanner’s orig-

Pakon Part#124794-D June 5, 2003 4

inal manufacturing calibration process to properly align the CCD board. Epoxy is used to glue the
CCD board into the proper skew position.
The CCD board requires a tilt adjustment be done to ensure that the distance from one end
of the CCD is the same as the opposite end. If these distances are not equal, then one edge of a
scanned picture will be in focus, and the other edge of the picture will be out of focus. This proce-
dure is performed during the scanner’s original manufacturing calibration process. Epoxy is used
to glue the CCD board into the proper tilt position.
As the film is scanned, the data is converted into raw digital data through the 14 bit A/D
chip on the CCD board. This data is transferred from the CCD board to the USB interface board
and sent to the host PC. The host computer saves this data in a buffer in a specific path (deter-
mined in the registry, see Important Registry Keys), where it is later accessed by the client.

Lens
The lens is mounted to a bracket that can swivel from side to side and forward and back-
ward. During the manufacturing process a lens alignment fixture is used to position the lens in the
proper alignment with the film track and CCD chip. Once the proper position is determined, the
lens mount bracket is glued so the lens cannot move after the manufacturing calibration process.

Lamp Board
The lamp board, on the back side of the scanner regulates the lamp’s power and tempera-
ture. There is a temperature monitor attached to the heat sink on the lamp board that turns off the
power to the light bulb if the temperature reaches 72 degrees Celsius. It is important that the scan-
ner is well ventilated so the scanner does not overheat and turn off the bulb.
The lamp board also connects to the LED board, for Digital ICE operation. The thin rib-
bon cable is used to communicate between these two boards.

Motor Control and DX Board


The motor control and DX functions of the scanner are all performed by the largest circuit
board in the scanner. It is located on the undercarriage of the frame. This board controls all
motors: lens and CCD steppers, film guides, film rollers, and the filter wheel.
The lens and CCD steppers are move the lens and CCD to predefined focus positions, as
outlined in the “Optical Tower” section above. The film guides open and close the film gate to

accommodate 35MM and APS (24MM) film. The film rollers grip the film using rubber o-rings
to transport the film through the film track.

Motor Speed
The calibration wizard sets the film speed in the final phase of the calibration procedure.
Each resolution, film type, and 3 channel and 4 channel setting must have its own film speed.
These settings, as all calibration settings are stored in the EEPROM of the scanner, on the USB
board in the scanner.

Filter Wheel
The filter wheel has three positions: negative, positive, and block. The negative position
moves the filter wheel to position a negative filter in front of the light assembly. It produces a
cyan light. The positive position moves a positive filter in front of the light assembly, producing a
white light.
Each position has a unique function. The block position blocks all light to the light assem-
bly. It is used for setting the offset while doing force corrections. The negative filter is used for
color negative film and C-41 processed black and white film. The positive filter is used for posi-
tive film and black and white film.

APS and 35MM Film Guides


The film track is designed to default to 35MM size film. A stepper motor can contract the
film track to accommodate APS (24MM) film. The guides will open and close as the user deter-
mines the position by selecting the desired film type in the interface software.

DX Sensors
The film track has DX sensors built into the assembly. These sensors are positioned so
they have the ability to read DX code on both sides of the film. The DX codes will report film
type and film specifier values. They also determine index numbers for each frame. To see require-
ments for DX code reading, please refer to the “Scanner Specifications” chapter.

USB Board
The F-235 scanner communicates to a host PC via a USB 2.0 interface. The scanner has a
USB interface board built into it. This board communicates with the scanner, and then relays that
information to the host PC.

Pakon Part#124794-D June 5, 2003 6


Distributed by: minilablaser.com

The USB board has an EEPROM chip built into it to store calibration information. The
Calibration Wizard program writes all calibration data to this EEPROM chip. When the scanner
interface software is launched, this calibration data in the EEPROM is written to the Windows
registry. This means that a F-235 scanner will be properly calibrated and functional when attached
to any PC that meets the Computer Requirements outlined in the first chapter.

Operational Information
Powering On
Power on the host PC, and allow it to finish loading Windows before turning the F-235
scanner on. This will ensure that the scanner can properly communicate with the host computer.

Operation
When scanning film, ensure the appropriate film type is selected. Do not attempt to scan
35mm film when APS is selected, and likewise do not scan APS film when 35mm film has been
selected.
Insert the film emulsion side-up, with the first frame first on the right side of the
scanner. This will ensure that the DX codes are read and that the framing will be done cor-
rectly.
Do not attempt to remove film from the scanner while the scanner motor is moving! This
will cause damage to both the film and the scanner.

Calibration
There are two types of calibration for the F-235.
Color calibration is set during the manufacturing process, as well as any service that
involves the CCD or any optical filter. This is to be performed by trained and authorized service
personnel only.
Scanner corrections are performed automatically. They consist of a series of steps per-
formed when the scanner is first turned on, as shown below:
• Start-up corrections
• Initial bulb warm-up
• Gain and exposure Control Corrections
• Run Time Corrections

Format Change
The scanner will automatically change the film guide, lens position, CCD position, or
color filter position whenever one of the following steps take place:
• Film Format change between 35mm and APS
• Film type change between color negative, color reversal, and black and white
• Magnification Change (Change of scanning resolution)

Film Gate Change


The film gate opens and closes depending on the size of the film being scanned. It will
open for 35mm film and close for APS film. This gate will open or close automatically when a
different film size is selected.

Pakon Part#124794-D June 5, 2003 16

scanned film. It should be used as a complement to a photo lab’s normal cleaning procedures.
Customers are still advised to clean the floors and work surfaces regularly.
It is also recommended to clean all film with a lint-free cloth before attempting to make
prints 8”x10” or higher.
If a lab is having persistent dust problems, it is recommended to perform the following
regularly:
•Clean all customer film with a lint-free cloth before scanning it.
•When the scanner is turned off, cover it with a plastic, or lint-free cover.

the scanner. Do not attempt to operate the scanner without these covers properly in place!

WARNUNG: Bei diesen Verfahren muss der Bediener bis zu zwei der drei Abdeckungen am Scanner
entfernen. Der Scanner darf nicht betrieben werden, wenn diese Abdeckungen nicht ordnungsgemäß
angebracht sind!

ATTENTION : au cours de ces procédures, vous devez ôter deux des trois couvercles du
scanner. N'essayez pas de faire fonctionner le scanner sans que ces couvercles de
protection soient correctement à leur place !

Dust cleaning of illumination


The F-235 is a precision optical device. A relatively smoke and dust free environment is
necessary. The scanner must be cleaned periodically to remove large collections of dust or debris
inside the scanner, on the illumination. This procedure is recommended to be performed every
two weeks. Software is designed to compensate for smaller collections of dust or debris, but
cleaning may be required. Digital ICE is only designed to complement the lab’s normal cleaning
procedures--which should include cleaning the floor and work surfaces regularly.
Follow each step by a verification process to determine if the cleaning was effective. If the
verification determines that level of cleaning was ineffective, the next level is required.

1. Simple cleaning with compressed air and or lens brushes.


2. Cleaning with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab.
3. Service call.

Cleaning the Illumination with Compressed Air


1. Turn off the scanner.
2. Disconnect the USB and power cables.

Appropriate Uses
Deceiving Information
Setup1300 is a useful tool, however, it can be misunderstood very easily. In the picture of
setup1300 shown above, the left side of the three color channels appears to be erroneous. Below
there is a small cross-section of this errata. Though this does not appear correct, this is not a prob-
lem. The CCD chip is being flooded with light from the light transfer bar, this will not be the case
when film is inside the scanner.
Keep this in mind when using setup1300 to diagnose problems. Not everything visible in
setup1300 can be used for troubleshooting.

Focused Resolutions
There are three resolutions for the F-235 scanner. There are only two stepper positions, however.
The 4 Base resolution uses the same stepper positions as the 16 Base resolution. A focused scan-
ner, with a Pakon Alignment strip will look similar to the following setup1300 images.

16 Base 35MM Color Negative

Pakon Part#124794-D June 5, 2003 41


Distributed by: minilablaser.com

16 Base 35MM Color Reversal

Note how the color channels are all lower than that of the ‘color negative’ display.

8 Base 35MM Color Negative

Note how the 8 Base scan uses a smaller portion of the CCD chip than 16 Base.

Pakon Part#124794-D June 5, 2003 42


Distributed by: minilablaser.com

8 Base 35MM Color Reversal


8 Base Color Reversal color channels should be lower than 8 BaseColor Negative.

Lens Stepper Test


The lens test function is a great way to ensure that the lens stepper is moving correctly. To use
this function:
1. Move lens stepper to 2000 using the ‘x’ key.
2. Click on the “LENS TEST” button.
3. The lens stepper will move one step at a time until it reaches the home position.
4. Setup1300 will report the number of steps it took to reach the home position. This number
should be equal to the stepper position (2000) before the “LENS TEST” button was clicked.

CCD Stepper Test


The CCD Test function, like the Lens Test function, is a great way to ensure that the CCD stepper
is moving correctly. To use this function:
1. Move CCD stepper to 1200 using the ‘<’ key.
2. Click on the “CCD TEST” button.
3. The CCD stepper will move one step at a time until it reaches the home position.
4. Setup1300 will report the number of steps it took to reach the home position. This number
should be equal to the stepper position (1200) before the “CCD TEST” button was clicked.

Troubleshooting
Basics
The scanner will not work properly unless the scanner is turned on after Windows 2000
has finished the loading process. Ensure this is done before attempting more advanced trouble-
shooting.

Error Logs
There are four primary error logs generated by the scanner software. These error logs are a
very important tool to determine the cause of any reported error codes. When contacting technical
support, it is advisable to provide these logs to ensure a more informed response.
These logs can be located in C:\Program Files\Pakon\TLA COM Server.
These logs include:

PakonErrorLogMain
Logs any errors associated with scanner communications with the host PC.
PakonErrorLogScan
Logs any errors associated with the scan process.
PakonErrorLogSave
Logs any errors associated with the save process.
PakonErrorLogPI
Logs any errors associated with the color correction process.

Pakon Error Log Main


Device IO Control Errors:

EC_WIN_DeviceIoControl A device attached to the system is not functioning.


Type xxx, PktLen yyy, Address <device code>

The “device code” will be in hexadecimal. Refer to the “Device Code” table below to
determine what piece of hardware is reporting an error. Attempt to reload the firmware for the
failing boards using MFCTest.exe.

Hardware Fault Codes:


EC_HardwareFault <hardware fault codes>

The “hardware fault codes” will be in decimal, convert them to hexadecimal and refer to
the “Hardware Fault Codes” table below to determine the meaning of the fault codes. Be sure that
the scanner has the grounding wires installed before attempting to find the meaning of the fault
code(s). Also try re-loading the firmware of the problem device.

Skipping Lamp Warm-up and Calibrations


It is useful to have the ability to disable the lamp warm-up and calibrations during startup.
This should only be done for troubleshooting purposes only. Using these options can cause erratic
image quality issues. Use the registry editor to disable these two registry keys:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pakon\PSI F-235\Scanner Settings]


StartupCalibrationSelection=1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pakon\TLA\Scan\Test]
UseLampColdStart=0

Error Code 1002 or 1006


These two error codes relate to the speed of the computer hardware. Verify that the host
PC meets the requirements outlined in the “Specifications” chapter.

Error Codes 126, 127, 128, and 129


Run the focus correction in the client software.

Error Code 1003 (Lost Sync)


Attach grounding straps to film track. Contact Pakon technical support for further infor-
mation.

Error Code 3016


Verify that there is an N: partition that is left unformatted, and it is a minimum of 5GB.

Error: EC_PFS_FileSystemExists (Error Code 3001)


The N: is formatted. The N: partition cannot be formatted. Re-create this partition using
the instructions in the “Hard Disk Configuration” chapter of this manual.

Error Code 3013


Buffer drive, (N:) is bad. Replace this drive partition.

Scanner will not stop scanning.


Change this registry key:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Pakon\TLA\Scan\Test\DriverSimultaneous-
Packets" to 1.

Error 178: EC_WIN_SetProcessWorkingSetSize


The operator does not have Administrative privileges, or does not have enough available
RAM. 512MB is required, as outlined in the “Specifications” chapter.

2. Double-click on “Administrative Tools.”
3. Double-click on “Local Security Policy.”
4. Select “Local Policies.”
5. Select “User Rights Assignment.”
6. Select “Increase Scheduling Priority” on the right side of the window.
7. Add “Everyone” to the list.

Set:
DriverRingTailBytes to 0x800000
ProcessedRingTailBytes to 0x400000.

Images Stretched
The Calibration Wizard program is required to perform this procedure.

1. Run the calibration wizard, located in C:\Program Files\Pakon\Calibwiz235\Calibwiz235.exe.


2. Click on the button on the bottom left corner of the calibration window.
3. Select “Film Speed Adjustment.”
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the motor speed and framing adjustment.

The Calibration Wizard program is required to perform this procedure.

1. Run the calibration wizard, located in C:\Program Files\Pakon\Calibwiz235\Calibwiz235.exe.


2. Run the “Magnification” steps in the calibration wizard.

Images not Framed Properly


The Calibration Wizard program is required to perform this procedure.

1. Run the calibration wizard, located in C:\Program Files\Pakon\Calibwiz235\Calibwiz235.exe.

Pakon Part#124794-D June 5, 2003 48

2. Click on the button on the bottom left corner of the calibration window.
3. Select “Motor Speed.”
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the motor speed and framing adjustment.

Image is out of focus in part of frame


The Calibration Wizard program is required to perform this procedure.

If this is a problem on every roll of film, the ‘Tilt Adjustment’ will need to be run in the
calibration wizard.
The problem is that the CCD chip is not parallel with the film--part of the CCD chip is
focused, and part of it is out of focus. The ‘tilt adjustment’ will level the CCD board and put it in
parallel with the film and light transport.

Scanning stops after one frame


The scanner calibrations may need to be re-done every two hours because the lamp tem-
perature may vary throughout the day.

DX code reading is not working


The film track should be cleaned every two weeks to ensure proper DX code reading. This
procedure can be found in the “Operator Service” chapter in this manual. When finished, run the
'Track Test” calibration in the client interface program.
This requires a four frame strip of film with DX codes on it. Be sure to insert the film
emulsion up, starting with the lowest number first, with the DX codes to the back of the scanner.
If DX code reading does not improve after cleaning and running the client film track test,
the film track test should be run using the Calibration Wizard program.

Black images
Black images are usually caused by one of two problems. Firstly, the light shield has a
removable piece for cleaning the lens. The screw holding this light shield in place is a thumb

Pakon Part#124794-D June 5, 2003 49


Distributed by: minilablaser.com

screw, and can come loose if shaken during shipment. Ensure this light shield is properly
mounted and is not loose.

A fuse on the LED board can be damaged causing this board to flood the CCD board with
infra-red light and will cause scanned images to appear black. To test this, unplug the LED cable
on either the LED board, or the lamp board.
Removing this cable will remove the defect channel from being used. If the scanner scans

properly after removing this defect channel, the LED board will need to be replaced.
