Ian Lyons noted this as a problem with 645 negatives
on the LS-120. I can also confirm that it is a problem
with 645 negatives on the 8000 ED. There is, however,
a workaround on the 8000, and no need to cut up the
strips (but the carriers on the 8000 only hold four
645 negatives, even on a good day.)
On the 8000, the workaround is 100% effective, though
a bit time-consuming. You dial in an "offset" in the
driver GUI, and re-do either the thumbnail scan and/or
preview scan until the image is centered.
