[filmscanners] Re: Polaroid SS4000 - Delay in calibrating scanner...

["Owen P. Evans" <opevans@ca.inter.net>]

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
everything out.
Hope this helps as the carriers cost about $20 Canadian.
Good luck,
Owen

While my Polaroid SS4000 has been behaving properly till recently, it
suddenly decided to take about two minutes' time to calibrate itself after I
click the "scan" button. The "preview" operation is as expected but
calibration seems to take for ever, while an ugly noise comes from its
depths. I have spoken with dealer service and they sent me a brush to attach
on the film strip carrier and clean the sensor three times. I did but
nothing changed. The problem occurs ONLY with film strip carrier. With frame
carrier there no problem.  Anyone familiar with the problem?
