Austin, this "ratcheting" motion is common on many scanners, both film and flatbed. It's a function of how much RAM is available within the scanner firmware. If the firmware handles it properly it's not a problem. If there's a small buffer, the scan mechanism is gated by the next processing block to receive the scan data. My SprintScan would do it from time to time, and I must admit I was rather concerned the first time I saw it behave that way. rafe b.
