    Scanner use?
    I have just been given a Packard Bell 1200 plus scanner for Fathers Day! (Lucky me).
    My question is, is this scanner suitable for scanning my slides (Transparencies). I have 100's from years ago.
    It has a resolution of 600x1200.
    Any advice welcomed.
    Thank you.

    Scanner
    Hi,
    Most scanners with this capability come with a plastic insert, than can be put on the scanner; a flatbed scanner. The instruction manual explains how to scan the slides.
    Have you looked over the instruction manual that came with the scanner?
    I do know the Epson Perfection 2480 photo scanner comes with this option.
    You can also go to the manufacturer's website, click on FAQ's for your particular scanner, and even download a "user manual" for it.
    Best wishes,
    fredg

    Hi fredg,
    Many thanks for your prompt reply!
    I was unwilling to unpack the scanner if it was not suitable for the slides purpose. I did look at the Users Guide but it only gives instructions on Installations of hardware.
    As you suggest, I will go to the users web site and ask there.
    Thanks again.
