Mortica, you hit it on the head; you have to be careful with anything you purchase anymore. They are getting really devious about hiding parts/accessories for all types of electronics anymore.

Does this scan medium format negatives and transparencies (slides) or is it a fixed width film holder that just does 35mm?
1130026
6x6 cm negatives, like twin lens reflex cameras and Hasselblads used. Lots bigger than 35mm (allowing for bigger enlargements), but smaller than "large format" (e.g. 4x5 or 8x10 inch negatives like Ansel Adams used back in the olden days and which were often printed without enlarging at all -- "contact prints").

In case you haven't found it yet, it's located behind the white protective cover sheet on the lid. You push the two side tabs in, lower the cover sheet, and you will see it. I myself only found this out by going to the Canon website, under the FAQ, "how do I scan film...." :-/

Hi Ryan. Sorry it took so long to get back to you on this but my printer/scanner has been out of service for the past week. I was going to upload scanned photos of the manual however Amazon will not let me upload photos after I've already posted a review. That being said I made a slideshow video and uploaded it. Since it's a video is may take a day or two to post. I'd send you the PDF but I have no other means of contacting you. Hopefully this helps.

It was impossible to fool the scanner with any sort of homemade slide holder. I'd just get error messages. But, the good news is that I called Canon and a new s.h. was only $8 with shipping. Most of the cost is the shipping, because they offered me 2 for $9. I was pleasantly surprised that they didn't overcharge for part.

I need a part for my printer because it broke and rendered the printer useless. It it the tray that holds the ink cartridges. Does anyone have one that they would sell? I have a few nearly full ink cartridges and I would like to use them rather than toss them. Please let me know.

It comes with holders for the 3 major sizes. I've scanned all different sizes. I just have to be careful trying to pull them out, sometimes they get stuck. I found that if I take another photo and stick it halfway in, in front of the other, I can slide them out easily. Just enough to keep it from catching on the way out.

I don't believe there is a slide adapter, but to confirm, go to Canon's web site. To be honest, I like the scanner but I don't think the quality is high enough to attempt scanning of a transparency.

No. There are holders for 35mm slides and negatives, and that is the size of the area scanned.

This looks like the same holder, I have not had to use one but looked at it when we originally bought the scanner. I figured out how it migh twork, but again, never had to use it. I don't expect to find any thing that wouldn't work. Hope this helps.

It's made for the standard 35mm cardboard slides. I know others have had issues with some of the plastic types of slides as they are apparently slightly thicker. I did come across a few slides that did not fit in the holders and I was able to actually hold it in place infront of the copier without using the slide holder. It works but it's not perfect. I am shooting with a T1i so should be the same pretty much. Hope that helps.

Most of what I have (90-95%) are Black & White negatives, and I see from a review at http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN/CS9000/9000F.HTMthat FARE is disabled for B&W; film (it thinks the whole emulsion is dust).Have you scanned many B&W; negatives?Also, have you scanned any contact prints/proof sheets (I imagine it does those just fine, but I just remembered those?If this does good with B&W; negatives - then that's' what I'm looking for - as I need a general purpose scanner too.

This particular unit is just for slides -- either individual mounted slides or for film strips. There is no way to scan a photo on this particular model.

Mine will only scan negatives. There is one out there that also does slides but this one isn't it. Unless you want to take your slides out of their cardboard holders and scan them as negatives.

I assume u want a way to use the scanner, not buy another like others have suggested. I'm not sure what you meant by "remove the slide". Is your mounted slide somehow stuck in the scanner and you want to pull it out? Or asking how to unmount the film from the slide frame? If the latter, cut the cardboard and get the film out, then scan. If you want to remount it (but why, since you have scanned it in), there are plastic slide frames you can buy that snap around the slide film.

I am having the same problem of some slides scanning as negatives and someitmes one slide outof four not getting scanned. I found nothing in the FAQ or on the Canon site for the 4400F about this negative slide image problem, so I sent them an email for help today and hope they have a fix. I'll post it if they do.

I have been looking for this printer everywhere too. I finally found it at Best Buy store. They don't show this printer on their website yet, but I actually went into the store and they located the printer to be in transit to their warehouse and I placed a preorder to have the delivery redirected to the store before entering their warehouse. I will be picking up the printer on March 30th from the store.

Just unpacking mine, believe that one black cartridge is for photo only, i.e. the small one that matches the color ones. Large one lower quality for general text use.Try double checking one of the computer mags on this....LPS my concern is that directions say standard computer paper only in front tray, back tray for quality photo paper. And that 4 x 6 is only photo size that works?????Any input appreciated, I M on hold now, its only unpacked....
