I have a Canon 8400F scanner. It does an admirable job with 35mm
strips, but often will not detect 6x6, 4.5x6 or 6x9 B&W negatives. I
get some message like "there is no film in the scanner".
This is not the same situation as when the cable to the lid is loose
which says something like "this scanner will not scan film". The cable
is plugged in tightly.
Sometimes when I get the 'no film in scanner" type message I can make
it scan by moving the film in the holder.
Any suggestions about how to make the scanner detect negatives better
would be appreciated.
Is it possible to use software other than the Canon factory supplied
stuff to operate the scanner.
Are there any software upgrades available?
Thanks,
Ernie
