If you import the resulting scanned negative images into Lightroom, you can create a preset which converts them into positives. The preset simply reverses the tone curve, so it slopes down instead of up, from left to right.
Yep. This is a fairly old but good quality scanner. It came with software that may have addressed some of those issues, but I suspect the OP may be needing a little more help making things work in terms of the negative to positive conversion.
It could be a simple not doing the right thing situation, but could also be one where those specific approaches work but are considered not adequate.
That distinction is not clear to me....
