[filmscanners] RE: SS4000 Slide holders/won't scan last slide

["Thomas Maugham" <TMaugham@yahoo.com>]

What scanning sw do you use?  I use VueScan and it works fine. I've also
used the Polacolor and Silverfast.  They all scan all four slides but I like
VueScan best.  Of course YMMV...

Take a look at your slideholders.  On the bottom there is a recycling sysbol
with the letters "AES" enclosed.  Around the symbol should be four dials
which indicate information about the molding process.  If your slideholders
do NOT have these dials they are suspect.  The bad one that I had and
returned to Polaroid did not have these dials and did not function
correctly.  The holders I have now DO have these dials and work fine.  The
holders being sold on eBay for $5 DO have these dials.

Good luck...

Tom

The fourth slot is unavailable, regardless of which holder I use. Oddly,
I can scan six negatives with the negative holder. I have the brush, but
have never used it. I suppose now is the time to try it.
