It sounds like you have a need for a warranty repair, to
adjust/replace the focus module. I have found NikonUSA warranty
repair service quite responsive, and friendly. If you call them at
1-800-645-6678 (Customer service) or 6689 (tech support) they will
immediately send out a repair authorization form, authorizing you to send
it in for the necessary work (include a print of the problem scan) at
their expense.
If Mikael is not in USA, I can only hope the country where he bought it
is as cooperative as I have found NikonUSA.
They have somebody in 'quality control' supposedly go over the repairs
before they are shipped out. I have found that to be their weak link, as
the first time I sent my LS-30 in for an intermittent banding problem, it
also had a focus problem. I got approval for a priority return shipping
at their expense, and their return invoice stated they had replaced the
focus motor... Anyway, it worked fine when I got it back the 2nd time,
except the intermittent banding problem later returned. That time, they
sent me a 'new' replacement scanner.

Maybe I'm not looking at the images
correctly but the _entire_ Nikon 4000
frame looks out of focus. Is this a fair test - to compare an
out-of-focus
Nikon scan to an in-focus Canon scan?
