 | Power on
 | Turn on the surge protector, if used. |
| Turn on Palette 8035. It is important to warm the unit up ahead of
any imaging. The switch is located on
the lower left of the front panel, |
| Turn on the Macintosh G4. Let the Palette warm up for about 10
minutes. |
|
| Load film
| Open the door on the front of the Palette and open the 35mm camera.
A copy of the camera operation manual is located on top of the Palette.
Load the film. Use only Kodak Elite Chrome, ISO 100 (ASA) color slide
film or Fuji Chrome, ISO 100 color slide film. The camera will unwind
the film to the end of the roll. That is, your first slide will be
either number 24 or 36 on the film roll. This prevents someone from
opening the camera and ruining the slides that have already been shot.

| Under the ProPalette 8K Series menu select Film Type and scroll down
to the type of film you are using. Elite Chrome 100 vPI is suggested.
|
| There are 3 Fuji film types listed; we think that Fuji Provia 100
RDPII vPI is the correct one (let William Reece know if it is not the
correct one). |
| Do not make any other changes to the RasterPlus Polaroid menus! |

1-24 on the first roll and slides 25 &endash; 45 on the second roll.

|
| Palette begins making slides
| Your presentation will begin to process. First the ProPalette will
calibrate and then begin to process your images. Each image (slide) will
take about 1 1/2 minutes to shoot. |
| At 8000 dpi resolution, a 24 exposure roll will take about 35 minutes to shoot and a 36
exposure roll will take about one hour. Consider whether the user
actually needs this quality because truly fine quality can be delivered
at 4000 dpi, which images much faster. |
| The LCD display on the top of the ProPalette will inform you about
the status of your job. It rotates through several messages so you may
have to wait to see them all. |
|
| Retrieve the finished film
| When your presentation is finished the LCD will either say Out of
film or display the number of exposures left on the roll of film.
RasterPlus Polaroid will not have any jobs waiting and the display will
be on your PowerPoint. |
| If you need to rewind the film, press the right most black button on
top of the ProPalette (the one marked with an arrow slanting up and to
the right), then press button to the left of it (marked with a down
arrow) to fully rewind the film. |
| Open the door, open the camera and remove your film. |
