Default Scanned slides now switching to negatives

I'm using an Epson perfection 1660 photo scanner. It's been a long time
since I scanned slides. After setting it up correctly I have scanner a
couple of hundred slides which is a long tedious job. The last batch of
4 slided which were scanner have come out looking like color negatives
rather than positives. I haven't altered any settings. Why should this
happen?

Thanks in advance

Check the input source setting.
Scan Slides as Color Positive Film and Negatives as Color Negative Film.

Hi.

Check your input selection Neg / Positive.

Quite a lot of scanners tend to revert to their default settings without any
warnings.

My Minolta 5400 tends to reset to 2700 Dpi instead of the 5400 I want, if I
forget to select the "Saved" job, and an earlier Nikon used to revert to
Positives. It is a bloody irritating habit, and they all seem to have it.
