QSS3201 film scanner problem

[shafa]

Hi everone,

I am having problem with the noritsu 3201 film scanner. Problem with feeding the film through and clean sensor error report .  I've tried all the possibilities but with no success. I am considering to use another film scanner - epson perfection 4990 . Is this a good choice? if not , what film scanner I should use instead of the original  Qss3201 scanner .  

thanks for your help.

Can you be more specific, which error messages do you get?

The problem with using a film scanner like Epson, Nikon etc. is the speed, they are MUCH slower than the minilab scanners, even with a very limited film production I would not recommend it, too time consuming.

Thanks,

I am geeting the following message:

(Film Carrier sensor sensitivity)

(Adjustment was not Executed)

135/240AFC

FILM SENSOR

The film scanner is not used everyday -so at present time is not that important. My concern is the resolution of the image and I am not sure if Epson 4990 will do the job?

Thanks jvc1986,

I don't have any idea, he listed it on the australian web site www.photoimaging.com.au in the classified section. He doesn't print off film anymore. You can email him at medhat@camerawest.com.au.
