Scanner adapter I have a regular HP scanner. Is there an adapter that can be used to scann slides? Thnaks

Firstly remove your scanner what you have now. Then restart your computer. Now install your scanner driver and also restart your computer. Now try it. I hope it will be fine now.

This model printer with a flatbed scanner cannot scan slides.
There isnt any adapter that you can use.
It would need a light source to shine through the slides to be picked up by the scanner sensor.

If the reason for trying to use the software is nothing more than to have a photo editor / cropper / etc... buy a different program!

My experience with HP has been great, except for the fact that their software is ridiculously large, and filled with fairly useless add-ons. I have used various imaging software/photo editing software for many years, but rarely ever that of the scanner's manufacturer because of functionality. If you want a decent program, check cnet.com, under downloads... you can find wither freeware or introductory software that rivals most basic manufacturer's products!

slide scan is not an option on that model. slide scanner is an option in some models of scanners. I have a HP one as most HP scanners have the setting built into the scan firmware that lowers and higher the light to get correct scan. brother model will not do this its just normal scan setting.

According to the manual, you should always scan from the HP scanning software to scan slides using Scanjet transparent material adapter. There is no button that you can set for default slide scanning properties. This is shown on page 8 of the manual for the 3500 series scanners. The manual is available here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/72847/Hp-Scanjet-2300c-Series.html?page=13#manual .

Since the scanner works with pictures, make sure that the TMA adapter is plugged into the back of the scanner. Next open the software, HP Photo & Imaging Director. In most versions of Windows, press Start and look for the HP programs heading. Expand this to find the executable file. Alternatively, find the icon on the desktop or find the software in the file explorer (Program Files/HP/ on 32-bit versions, Program Files (x86)/HP) and then the appropriate sub-folder. Now try to scan the slides when they are loading in the adapter.

I hope this helps. Please add a comment with your OS if you are still having problems. Some newer OS versions may have installed generic drivers for the ScanJet 3570C. The generic driver might not communicate with the TMA properly.)

The HP Photo Smart 35 is a USB printer. Your computer has USB ports. You can utilize an open USB port on your computer to connect the printer. What is a CS100-818035 plug?

Hi there I had the same problem with auto focus sf-210.
If tried many things to correct the problem and what I found was that if you you put a small book halfway on the opposite site of the power button then I have maybe 1 or to slides out of focus and the other 35 slides are perfect ! (I used it with HAMA slides other slides I didn't test )

Hope this wil work also for you,

Paul
