SPRINTSCAN 120 PROBLEM, IMAGES COMING OUT STRANGE, PLS HELP!

Hello,

 

Today I experienced a strange outcome of one of my scans from a B&W negative. I got a result similar to those

cheap Photoshop filters

(image enclosed).

Also enclosed are screen shots of scanner settings. Please note that although I have been scanning B&W negatives,

I used Agfa Optima setting on the "film type and Exposure" window, and that was not the reason for the result I

got. I have been using this (and other) settings that made little sense to the actual film type being scanned

(usually Kodak) before, because they worked best for me and my pictures.

 

A friend suggested that this might be a scanner lamp malfunction. If this should be the case, can someone suggest

where a replacement might be obtained?

 

Please find enclosed a screenshot of the result I got, (image 1.jpg) and screenshots of scanner settings (images

2-7.jpg) by clicking on the links below.

 

Any comment and suggestion to what the reason or solution to this problem might be, would be appreciated. Thanks

in advance!
