Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • Can this model scan old film negatives or transparent 35mm photo slides?
    Yes. The scanner features a dedicated transparent materials adapter (TMA) built directly into the scanner lid, allowing you to capture and digitize up to three 35mm film frames or two mounted slides simultaneously.
  • Does this scanner feature an automated document paper feeder attachment?
    No. This particular model is built strictly as a flatbed layout. Documents, receipts, and photos must be manually placed individual sheet by individual sheet onto the glass platens.
  • Does this device run entirely off USB bus power from the computer?
    No. Due to the high-intensity optical lamp mechanism, this scanner requires its separate external AC power supply block plugged into a standard wall socket to operate.
