Do you have to use an iPhone with this, or can you scan just slides and negs?

Hi R. Horton, you need an iphone to work with this machine. Let us know if you have additional questions. Thanks!

This particular unit is just for slides -- either individual mounted slides or for film strips. There is no way to scan a photo on this particular model.

I've only scanned slides but I would guess photos will do well also. File format is JPEG. The file size would be limited by the space available on the micro-SD card. I'll try some photos and respond again. I am very happy with the scanner for slides, however.

A slight correction to the statement that the software doesn't allow for the 110 format. You are correct that the automatic slide/negative detection only works for certain sizes, but if you turn off the preview mode, button top left when in the advanced scanning tab, you will get the raw strip from the scanner. Using the dashed line box, you have to manually draw the box around the slide/negative you want to capture. It will capture as many as you draw boxes for. Painful, yes, but it does work.The likelihood of an SDK would seem remote, as this is a driver you would be hacking, but an expanded set of formats would certainly be more attractive than the current hand drawing method.

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

Good Morning Karen, I'm sure that you can. There is a place and little devise that you use to scan them and slides. I believe it will work just a GOOD as the photo scanner works. I love my scanner. I have scanned approx. 500 photos in 3 different sessions and I still need to do many many more. I have negatives that I will be scanning also. Good Luck and again I LOVE MY PERSONAL PHOTO AND NEGATIVE SCANNER. YOU WILL TOO... Sincerely, Mary J. Kinch mkinch@aol.com

No it doesn't scan slides. It only scans photos but now the end result shows a faint line across every photo scanned. This was cited as a problem that other users have had as well.

Yes, it does slides. I am not where the device is, but I do think it has a holder. I know we talked about scanning all the diviing slides my husband has. It does also have a holder for smaller photos. We used the holder so that the scanner stays clean and does not pick up anything from the photo surface.

No, Kathleen, your slides won't be damaged in any way and this scanner does a good job. I was real satisfied with the negatives I scanned also and glad I ordered the negative carriers when I ordered the slide carriers.

Not sure about scanning from phone however it will from a computer. Hope this helps.

it didn't seen to be at first, but there is an ICON called "IJ SCAN Utility" this does everything for you. It will copy and scan negatives and slides etc, just by pushing that button. It puts up a white rectangle, with about five choices in it, and you simply click what you want it to do. There is a complete manual that installs on your PC too. But reading that is more difficult then using the icon. rr

Yes, Epson's recommendation is correct. Double-clicking the scanner in the print & scan section of system preferences gives you Apple's rudimentary scanning capability. I highly recommend a third-party scanning program like VueScan.

The scanner is a Human Interface Device (HID), so you would need an app on the tablet to work with it. In theory, any iPad or Android tablet could work with it, but you'd need to find a 3rd party app to do that. I doubt the manufacturer of this scanner makes any apps.

Hi Shane - Absolutely you can use the scanner from your iPad! You will need to download the Epson iPrint app. When you open the app you will find menus that will let you print and manipulate photos, saved documents, things you've stored in your Cloud (Evernote, Google Drive, Dropbox or Box), print Web pages (you can also do this directly from the iPad via Airprint), scan and even buy ink. To scan with your iPad (I had fun doing this a couple of days ago) put the item that you want to scan onto the scan bed, then press the scan button in the bottom right corner of the app page. Your scan will appear in the window. From there you can print it, save it or even email it if you would like. Have fun and don't hesitate to drop me a line if I can provide any further information.

You can certainly scan receipts with it but I do not believe that it will take the information off of the receipts and categorize it or anything. It is a very good scanner for basic light-weight purposes.

It scannes slides as soon as you hit the button. Since you have to advance the slides manually, its irrelevant how fast the system works. It scans faster than you can advance the slides is a better answer. Hope this helps.
