Equipment:

  • Braun Multimag SlideScan 4000 Diascanner (discontinued)
  • 17″ MacBook Pro Late-2011 4-Core running Lion
  • 17″ MacBook Pro Pre-Unibody 2.16GHz Core Duo running Snow Leopard
  • Vuescan 9x 32-bit (9.0.79) (I tried the 64-bit version but it’s not compatible with my HP Scanner so I already had this one installed). Details on its support of the Braun Multimag SlideScan 4000 can be found here.
  • Adobe Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)

Here is an example of the quality scan I could get from 40+ year old slides.

I have written a report about the successor to this scanner, the Pacific Image PowerSlide 5000:

This is not exactly a fix-it post but there will be a bunch of trouble-shooting none-the-less so I figured I’d document how things go when I attempt to scan the ~3,000 slides my father took back in the 60’s and 70’s. I had scanned a few slide singles with the HP Scanjet 4850 scanner I had but it took forever and it was not practical to try to scan any large amount of slides with it going four at a time. I researched automatic slide scanners and the most popular models I found were both from Pacific Image: Pacific Image PowerSlide Series 3650 (PS3650) and Pacific Image PowerSlide Series 5000 (PS5000). Another scanner is the Nikon Super CoolScan 5000 ED Film Scanner but it is VERY expensive AND it requires a $470 adapter to automate the scanning.

After doing a lot of googling I discovered that the Pacific Image PowerSlide has been rebranded and you can buy the same scanner under a different brand for a lower price. Braun Multimag SlideScan 4000 is virtually the same as the PowerSlide 3650, they are just stamped with different brands. The reason I picked the Multimag is because I was able to get a used one for $500 on ebay (even the Braun is $1,699 new) versus the higher price the PowerSlide is going for (comparing used to used). Another identical scanner is the Reflecta DigitDia 5000.

The scanner arrived and the first issue I ran into was getting VueScan to recognize the scanner on my MacBook. I tried installing the Cyberview X5 drivers from here. Once I got that software to recognize the scanner I was able to get VueScan to work on both my OS 10.7 and 10.6 machines, which they are not saying is possible.I started scanning using the Paximat 50-slide magazine that came with the scanner and the first thing I ran into were some auto-crop issues where VueScan would not center the crop on the image. The whole image would be scanned but for some reason VueScan would not offset its crop and trim off the top edge of the slide. Since I’m doing archiving scans that is not going to work. After playing around with that I decided to just have it scan the maximum area and crop them by hand when I go through and edit them. I contacted VueScan’s author, Ed Hamrick, who is real responsive to questions, and he is interacting with me over why VueScan is not cropping correctly. To avoid dealing with that issue I just set the crop setting to maximum and plan to crop them by hand afterwards.The next issue I ran into using the 50-slide magazine was that somehow the slide was not parked in the right place when it was being scanned and part of the slide was not being scanned. After looking more carefully at the scanners action I discovered the reason was that the tappet, i.e. the long thin silver bar that feeds the slides into the scanner, was slipping off the edge of the slide and therefore not pushing it all the way into the scanner. I researched this issue and there are definitely others who have had this problem. Pacific Image addresses this problem on their FAQ page here. It is really unclear how much pressure they want you to put on the tappet to pull it in the direction it needs to be to center on the slide. I didn’t feel like they want you to bend it so it’s a bit confusing. I have a tech support email out to them inquiring about this. I’ll update the post if I hear something back.

50-Slide magazine Jam (see the white edges of the 3 protruding slides)

I ran into an issue with the 50-slide magazine jamming when I left it running overnight. I came downstairs to find the machine stopped in the middle of the magazine. It’s real difficult to see what is going on with jams on this machine because everything is inside. From what it appeared, 2 slides were shoved into the same slot (where one slot won’t fit 2 slides). I tried to push the slide back into the scanner using a tweezers but I could not. It seemed that the top was in farther than the bottom and I couldn’t push in the bottom of the slide with the tweezers–the space is too tight. I then tried to use a steak knife from the side trying to (carefully) stab the side of the slide’s cardboard frame and leaver it back in. I had some success getting the slide to move but still wasn’t able to get it to go all the way in.

Slide Scanner surgery, steak knife style

Eventually I got one of the 2 slides to go back in and just forced the magazine out of the way, bending the edge of the remaining slide in the process. I then discovered that the issue was that the scanner had pushed the slide onto the magazine’s divider and the cardboard had split, with one side of it on either side:

Slide split in half

I had some problems with the scanner jamming in that it was having a problem ejecting the slide. It wasn’t that it was hitting something when it was trying to push the slide into the magazine (which I had that problem at different times) but that it wasn’t even getting started. There is a little spring-loaded lever that pushes down on the top of the slide when it is inside the scanner. What was happening is that after the slide was inserted into the scanner it was not being allowed to come all the way down but was sitting on the top of the 50-slide magazine. This would cause the slide to rock forward when the arm tried to push it out and therefore causing it to bind up inside the scanner.

50-slide magazine when the slide would be inserted into the scanner

In order to fix this issue I taped some cardboard onto the scanner which would put some more space between the scanner body and the 50-slide magazine and then never had an issue with it again. Here’s my fix:

Socket
My cardboard spacer to hold the cartridge away from the scanner (and the black slide arm on the top)

Here’s some of my father’s slides that I scanned as they appear in a facebook album I posted them to:
