I want Number 2 it scans #3 or a blank space. I have the same scanner........ well the one I have now is the fifth one, but after all my initial problems of colour quality and scanning quality, this last one has been working for the last two years with very few probs. Except one. If I'm not careful it will scan between frames. Sound familiar? The problem is, in mine at least, that the scanner is not recognising that you have the 6 neg holder in the slot and it has loaded the info for the mounted slide holder which is only four frames. What I do every time I put the holder in is to press the "thumbnails" button beside the "preview" button. This will tell you if it has recognised the correct holder. If not, then reinsert the holder again. This used to happen quite often until I was sent a little brush to clip on to the holder, which I presume cleans some sort of sensor. Now it happens about two or three times out of ten, but at least I know the problem and can live with it, pain in the arse though it is. I am assuming that you use the Polarcolor Insight software. On other software I would not have a clue where the preview or thumbnail button would be found. If indeed this is the same problem I have, you will be pleased to know that you do not have to shut the unit down or restart the computer, just reisert the carrier. I would be very interested to know if this helps, Ted. You have been a big help to me over the years and this may go some way toward repaying you.
