I was trying out a friends new 4990 before buying one for myself. My
first 2400 dpi 48 bit scan of a 4x5 was quite fast. I then turned on
Digital Ice and it got very slow. That would not be so bad, except
about 30% into the transparency it stopped, repositioned to the
beginning, gave the "warming up" message, repositioned, and continued
the scan. Is this normal behavior? To my way of thinking it could not
possibly reposition properly. I have owned at 1200u, 1640 and now a
3200... and if overtaxed they would just stop and wait a bit, but they
would not totally restart with a warmup. BTW this was with the Epson
Twain, not SilverFast or Vuescan.
Thanks for any help, Alan
