How can I scan slides in plastic mounts?

Re CanoSlide 600F:
I can scan film and negative strips very well, but most of my slides are mounted (hundreds of them).
I can find no instructions for scanning mounted slides.
Thank you, Steffi

    I need to hear from someone who has actually scanned mounted slides.
    After the film adaptor is snapped into place where does one place the mounted slide(s)?
    Are the three pairs of rubber (?) holders on the underside meant to serve this purpose?

Mounted slides you just place on scanner surface by face side or back side, depening how you did put the film in it.
If you have rubber holder you do insert your slides inside them and scan. They are desigh=nned for that. You can also put a piece of paper on top in order to improve quality. But slides suppose to be placed either all fron side or all back side. You need to try it ones to figure out. It is really easy to do. If you dont want to use holder you can just arrrange slides the way you want on a surface of scanner.
Just for the case I am sending you this link, maybe you will get some better ideas.
Good Luck and Merry Christmas

You need to get a cardboard mask.

  • Ginko
    Ginko Dec 23, 2008

    you need to buy a mask for mounted dia, or crop a mask using carboard, and scissors.
    nted slides
    Place the mask on the scanner, and the mounted slides on the space you left on the mask.
    Then select the scanning space on the computer in correspondence with the slide, and start scanning the slides.

Scanner doesn't recognise their is a slide loaded in the slide holder

The first thing I'd try is to run the scanner with the Nikon software. When you power on the scanner it goes through a variety of checks, and finally you should have a silent scanner with a solid green light at the front. Start the Nikon software and wait until it finds the scanner, if it doesn't you have a hardware problem with the scanner.

If it goes well to this point insert a card or plastic mounted slide and hit Preview. The scanner should then create and image you see on screen. Next step would be to make a scan. If the slide you're trying to scan isn't card or plastic mounted you'll need the Nikon made carrier.

Hope this helps.

How to scan negatives?

You will need to check your Canon software that came with your Pixma MX310. I have a stand alone Canon Canoscan 8800F scanner that have the capability to scan 35mm film strip and 35mm mounted slide, the software included the feature for it.

Can I scan slides with Canoscan LiDE600F

Yep, The Canoscan LiDE600F is capable of scanning slides, however it is not possible to scan them in their mounts. If you dismount the slide, you can scan them using the film strip holder. This is not an elegant solution and you would have to remount your slides to use them as originally intended.

Is there a manual that shows how to scan slides

Hello,

Here is the support site for your scanner:

Canon LiDE 600F Support

Under the Drivers & Downloads there are a couple manuals. The Quick Start Guide, which is a PDF file and the On Screen manual which is an exe file. The PDF will open right up. The other you will need to download the file to your desktop and when the download completes you need to run (double-click) the file to install it.

Note: This scanner does not support scanning of Mounted slides. (See Footnote #5 on Page 9 of the Quick Start Guide.)

You may be able to unmount the slides carefully and follow the instructions for scanning film. You might try that on a less desirable slide before unmounting them all. Just a suggestion.

Thanks for using Fixya.

No option to scan Film Negatives

In order to see these options, you must have the Film Adapter Unit (FAU) attached to the scanner. The FAU is designed to scan in 35mm film, either positive or negative. The scanner has no options to scan in mounted 35mm slides.

Does the scanner work for scanning at all? If not, you may have a communication problem between the computer and the scanner, i.e., the computer doesn't know how the scanner is configured so it doesn't show the options. If it's a communication problem, check for any other USB devices that might interfere with communication. Especially, some printers seem to take over communications. Try disconnecting all other USB devices (except keyboard, mouse, etc.), reboot, and see if the situation corrects itself.

Also, try the online troubleshooting database for this model at this link.

Scanned 35mm slide comes out as rectangle with dark edges

I've not ever seen "square" 35mm slides. By definition they are a rectangular positive film in an outer square "mount".

If you have a truly square piece of film then it is not a 35mm slide. You may have to use settings other than those for a 35mm film but these would be I don't know.

When were they taken (approximately)? What brand of film? Are they in a cardboard "mount?

Scanner

The Canon CanoScan 8800F is an excellent scanner and will do what you want. The scanner driver includes a descreen feature which is to reduce the Moiré patterns that are common when scanning items such as magazines or other printed materials. This scanner is capable of scanning 35mm film negatives and positives including mounted slides. It is also capable of scanning 22cm x 6 Film Strip (120 roll film). There is zero warm-up time on the lamp. This means that the scanner is ready when you are. Other scanners may require 30 seconds to a minute or so to warm up.

Here is a link to the product page for this scanner.

Narrow straight line runs across all scanned images

by shutterup

I solved my problem.
It's pretty personal, but I hope it can help others.
First: I might have created the problem myself because I slightly adapted the slide-mount.
Why?: Some time ago I had some unwilling films the automatic! film-mount wouldn't swallow, so I had to use the manually operated slide mount.
I adapted a slide housing a bit, so it could take and transport film.
To be short: In the end, there was transparent, (but also reflective) material inside the Coolscan V housing, close to the slide.
I removed it.

Second, I turned the scanner 45 degrees, and gave it a calculated whack on the side. (like you did with your tele in the 6ties, but a bit more carefull )

Don't know which one did the trick, or both. I can send a sample.
