John,
This happens to me occasionally with my Polaroid SS4000 (same beast
under the skin). I don't really understand the behavior. I usually
remove all media and turn the scanner off and then on again. That
usually helps get it reoriented. Make sure you always remove the
media before shutting the scanner down once you get it working
correctly again. (Not saying you caused the problem!) I think I've
even rebooted the PC to get things back to square one. I think the
beast may also be a little fussy about when the media is loaded in
relation to when the software is started up.
Anyway, I think the firmware is a little buggy. I don't think what
you are experiencing is evidence that anything is truly broken.
