I'm also using VueScan with an SS4000. I suggest that you clean the scanner
with the cleaning brush according to the directions and see if that clears
up your problem. It may simply be dust obscuring the sensor that determines
the position of the carrier.

I'm unfamiliar with this problem, but I suspect your neg film carrier
has developed a problem. Make sure the track on the bottom is clean or

Hi Bill,
I had a similar experience a year ago. The exception was that the problem
occurred with the slide holder. The problem was that the indentations on the
plastic holder were getting worn and a replacement of the carrier sorted

Hi Ed,
To my knowledge, you will be hard pressed finding this scanner new.
Polaroid sold off the stock in their warehouse just prior to the SS4000+
coming out. They also were liquidating them to bring in some money
during their Chapter 11 proceeding.
At that time, the SS4000 scanners were

What type of film are you using?
Mainly Fuji Sensia but also some Kodachrome 64.
I previously used mostly Fujichrome Velvia. With the SS4000, it was
difficult to pull any detail from deep shadows with this high contrast film.
Useful to know!

You ought to use the scan exposed for the shadows and try Digital SHO on it.

You have to have noise to be able to reduce it. Noise or the lack of it is a

Hardware problems can often be somewhat fixed in software, after all.

I'm surprised anyone is even arguing about this.
There's no argument, it's just that
Ther is a fairly decent printable version on the software CD.
It sounds like the scanner isn't being recognized during the boot process.
The SCSI bios not found message just means that the bootstrap enabling
bios isn't on your scsi card (or not enabled in the scsi card's setup).
I believe that this is the problem. If the SCSI BIOS is not installed, then
I mis-spoke(wrote?) when describing a DOS portion of
the boot process. I should have said the POST portion
(power on self test) when hardware initializes prior
to OS loading. WinNT/2k/XP do not, in fact, have DOS
boot routines.
However, the scsi bios not loaded will not prevent
