trouble with Epson 4490
Recently picked up an Epson 4490. Although it seems to be scanning photos ok, I am having trouble getting it to align properly on 35 mm color negatives. I place the negatives into the holder exactly as in the instructions. There might be 5 negatives per stripe. The first one generally aligns ok, but by the ... 1 Jan 2010 11:54

Nikon Coolscan 8000
I have acquired a used Nikon Coolscan 8000 which resolutely reports a hardware failure when I switch it on. I've tried to connect it to two Macs and an XP machine, with v4 of Nikon's scan software.

Default Scanner Settings
I've got an HP LaserJet M1522nf and can't figure out if there is a way to change the default scanner settings. The one in particular I need to set is for the brightness. For some reason I have to adjust the brightness every time I scan or the document is so light I can barely read it. I do not have the HP sof... 3 Dec 2009 17:07

Nikon Coolscan vs. Epson Perfection scanners - recommendations?
I would like to scan a collection of family slides. There are thousands of slides, of which I am probably going to scan a few hundred. So, it's a big job but not so immense that it will be impossible to finish. I also am considering the idea of offering a slide scanning service, once I am set up with the equipme... 8 Jan 2010 08:16
