Pakon Scanner Archive

Preservation copies of the vendor files needed to keep Kodak / Pakon film scanners (F-135, F-135 Plus, F-235, F-235 Plus, F-335) running. The product line is long discontinued and the original distribution channels are gone; without these files, working hardware becomes unusable.

All files are unmodified originals. Checksums: SHA256SUMS. Wanted items and more detail: see the README.

Source repository (for issues, the wanted list, and mirroring): github.com/pakon-archive/pakon-archive.github.io

Service manuals

Service and disassembly manuals for the F-135, F-235 and F-335.

User manuals

Operator manuals, quick start and setup guides.

Calibration Wizard guides (Word originals, as distributed).

Troubleshooting

The FX35 troubleshooting guide.

COM API / SDK

The F235 COM Server API reference and guide, and the FX35 SDK release notes, for software that drives the scanner programmatically.

PSI software documentation

Help manual, release notes and download instructions for the PSI scanning software.

Marketing

Salesheets, datasheets and the model comparison brochure — useful for identifying models and original specifications.

Firmware

Scanner application firmware (HEX files) as shipped with the F-X35 COM Server. The scanner loads firmware into RAM over USB at every power-on; nothing here flashes the hardware. Kodak's own readme files describe the naming and which files each model uses.
