Can onyone on the list tell me is it's possible to scan 6x17 in one pass with this scanner. I've been searching the archives but this question doesn't seem to have been asked Reading all of the old reviews they say it's lacking, but seemed to be more from a software limitation than hardware. Has this been addressed at all? Thanks Glenn

That's interesting as I managed to track down a pretty informative post in Google Groups http://groups.google.com.au/groups?q=%22Polaroid+Sprintscan+120%22+6x17&hl=en&lr=&selm=HhyX6.200334%24p33.4036423%40news1.sttls1.wa.home.com&rnum=2 Basically Polaroid were saying that it's possible just wanted enough requests for the feature to make it worthwhile them including it.

>>Can onyone on the list tell me is it's possible to scan 6x17 in one >>pass with this scanner. I've been searching the archives but this >>question doesn't seem to have been asked No. Not possible. Hardware limitations prevent it. I have 6x12 and 6x14 negatives that I wanted to scan on a Microtek 120tf, the clone/successor to the Sprintscan 120. I spent a lot of time on the phone with Microtek and Polaroid both to get a straight answer. Basically, they told me there are hardware limitations that preclude it and no software/driver solution will allow you to scan negatives that long on the machine. Back to the flatbed! Sanders McNew.
