Sp3000 No Positive Option And No Dust Removal On Bw

[Liza]

My sp3000 is running as standalone. There is no Positive scanning option, and no dust removal on BW negative. 

What is wrong? Do I need any option software?

I don't have experience with the SP3000, but other Fuji scanners will only give you positive option with manual carriers unless an option is switched in the windows registry.  Black and white never has dust correction, as the technology (similar to kodak's 'ice') will not work with black and white due to it not being a dye based image.  Color dye's are invisible to infrared light, so a scan with infrared will show all the dirt the software needs to retouch.  Scanning a black and white neg with infrared shows the whole image, just like a scan with white light.  The exception is Ilford's XP2 film, which although black and white is also chromagenic.  We scan it as color film and with monotone correction turned on.  This results in black and white scans or prints, and dust correction.

Thanks for explanation. How can I turn this option (positive scan) in windows registry?

Here is the procedure for an SP2000.  This may or may not work on an SP3000.

Search for file called Rvon.reg .

Right click the file and choose 'edit'

Look for a line that says "Rev135ON"=dword:00000000"

Change the last 0 to a 1 and save the file.

Now double click the Rvon.reg file and you should get a message saying 'Rvon has been successfully entered into the registry'.

 

Note that an SP2000 runs Windows NT 4, not Windows XP like the SP3000.  If you don't have the Rvon.reg file, then maybe try running regedit.exe and search for Rev135ON.   If you find it change the key as described above and save your changes.  The scanner will probably have to restarted (rebooted) in order to recognize the changes.
