Mar 07, 2020 This is what I did with mine. I went on ebay and found a laptop with a built in firewire card. It was only about $100. The only software on it besides the operating system is Nikon Scan 4.0. It works like a champ. I tried Vuescan with it and was not impressed, to be honest. Nikon Scan 4.0 is better and works flawlessly with the scanner.

Feb 02, 2018 Since Nikon stopped supporting their Coolscan scanners under Windows 7, and beyond, a modified driver was created back in 2009. Since then, it has been the defacto driver when running under 7 and beyond. However, under Windows 8/10 you’ll need to at least temporarily disable DSE for it to install. After that, complete step 9 and you're done.
If VueScan isn't working with the Firewire cable, try a different Firewire port or a different Firewire cable.
This scanner has an infrared lamp for scanning film. VueScan's 'Filter | Infrared clean' option can be used to remove dust spots from film scans. This is similar to (and we think better than) the ICE and FARE algorithms.
Nikon Super Coolscan 4000 Manual
It scans with both visible light and infrared light in a single pass.
Infrared cleaning works well with all types of color negative and color slide film, including Kodachrome. However, silver-based black/white film doesn't work with infrared cleaning because the silver particles look the same in visible light and infrared light.
All types of Nikon film adapters are supported, including the SF-200 slide feeder.
If you're using Windows and you've installed a Nikon driver, VueScan's built-in drivers won't conflict with this. If you haven't installed a Windows driver for this scanner, VueScan will automatically install a driver.
