Canon FS4000 Scanner - fault after scanning 32 APS images

[John]

Spouse uses it and didn't report the text of the error msg, but says
"every time after scanning 32 images from a 40-exposure roll of APS
(at 4k x 4k) the program stops with an error msg". Anyone seen
anything like this?

What software was used for scanning? The Canon software is twain, so it
scans to an application like Photoshop. The main problem with that is you
are storing all the images to computer memory until you exit the twain
software and save each file to disk from the graphics program.

I would guess you are running out of memory and/or swap space when you get
to that number of scans.

and if you use Vuescan, this problem does not exist, because it writes
directly to a disk file for each image. You can try it for free (with
watermarked images I think) at www.hamrick.com
