I have noticed that when using the SS4000+ with VueScan (USB connection as
the Firewire consistently crashes VueScan), that before the actual scan there
is about 1 minute of waiting along with I think one or two movements of the
slide carrier.  The bottom of the VueScan window intermittently says "Busy"
with a % next to it.  I believe it is calibrating the scanner at this time
(it takes longer than the Polaroid software calibration).  On many versions
ago you could do a calibration (don't know about the Polaroid as I was usng a
Canon at the time) with the calibration pull down and it was stored...but
when I try that now with the SS4000+ it doesn't do anything so I think the
delay at the start is calibration.  Not sure if this is what you are
experiencing or not.

<< Thanks Tom . . . .  I have cleaned the scanner using the supplied brush.
 This seemed to have eliminated some banding issues that started to show up
 in the scans.
 I am not sure the "indexing" time is a problem it just seems to take . . .
 well, time.  If I use Polaroid Insight there does not seem to be any hunting
 for the frame.  The time to the start of the scan is quicker with insight.
