How to scan slides and negatives
This section contains information about setting up and using the transparent materials
adapter (TMA) to scan slides and negatives. You can use the TMA to scan 35 mm
slides or negatives.
Tips for scanning transparent items
● To scan items larger than those that the transparent materials adapter (TMA)
accepts, place the transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet of paper
on top of the transparency, and then scan as usual.
● When scanning a 35 mm slide or negative, the scanner software automatically
enlarges the image to approximately 11 cm x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches). If you want the
final image to be larger or smaller, use the
Resize tool in the scanner software to
set the scaling to the final size that you select. The scanner will scan the item to the
size you select and adjust the scan resolution as appropriate to be consistent with
the chosen scan resolution.
● To scan 35 mm slides or negatives using the TMA, click the Scan Picture button
( ) on the front of the scanner, or click the Scan Slides/Negatives button in the
HP Director.
