Mike Gammill Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 <p>Does the scanner have a holder for strips of film? From looking at the online manual it appears that it takes two strips of 6 frames each. Normally this is used for negatives so you would need to change the settings for positive images. Hope this helps.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim_occi3 Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 <p>Thanks, Mike. Yes it does have one of those flimsy film holders...and I just scanned some negatives that were cut into five frames...which is why I asked before I slice up my film!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant_nio_marques Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 <p>It's entirely up to you. With most scanners, the holders will take strips up to 6 frames. That only means you should not cut them into strips of more than 6, otherwise they won't fit.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
