can you scan slides on this printer

You are supposed to be able to. I never used it to scan slides but did scan negatives and it worked great.

As in projector slides? I'm not sure. I haven't had the need to try. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

... Is one speaking of photographic slides or PowerPoint slides? If the former, no. If the latter, then one would either just print the *.PPT or *.PPTx file or if handed a stack of printed slides, yes, scan them.

no you can not..without the print cartridges the printer looks for them and will not scan. Try Kodaks web-site

No. The scans are low-quality. It doesn't even do a decent job with print. The color is not accurate in scanning or in printing. Go with a different model.

Yes, but I have not used it yet. All that I scan is on Illustration board. I am a dinosaur. I paint and illustrate on Cresent Illustration which is ridged. If you are ever on Linkedin,go to my profile page to see the result of my scans. Link..... http://lnkd.in/bQuVAAW I love this printer/scanner. If you choose to buy it, you will as well.

I bought it specifically to scan a collection of Kodak color slides taken in the 60s - 70s along with old prints and it has done an excellent job. I would recommend it. Here's a review from PC Magazine written in November 2009: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2355184,00.asp

I have never used the scan feature on my printer, so I cannot answer you Question

I'm not sure what you mean with this question. Can you elaborate a bit? If you mean, can you make a copy of something else, then the answer is no. This is just a printer. Not a scanner, or fax or copier.

As below, the answer is yes, you will be able to scan your slides, 12 at a time when inserted into the slide holder that is one of the parts you will recieve with this scanner. You will have to remove the metal frames to insert the slides into the holder. I did 15,000 of my parents' slides. It took a long while, but DONE now.

If your slides deviate from the standard 35 mm frames, you need to select the advanced menu, but yes this scanner will do them.

yes -- you can actually copy a slide with this camera, as long as you stop down to f 5.6 or smaller.

I do not believe the scanner can process negatives. It does come with a special tray for slides.

The scanning quality is excellent (max = 600dpi). I have not tried to scan in negatives, but the scanning that i did perform caught sufficient detail i would suspect it would be fine. As for slides, that is a different question, as they are in the cardboard; i don't know if that will mess with the focus (being off the glass). Scanning resolution: Max = 600dpi in Jpeg or Tiff. I will run a negative through the scanner hopefully tonight and will let you know for sure.

the slide trays hold the slide for you to scan digitally. You can then print them any size you like.

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.

It does scan mounted slides beautifully. I just got this scanner yesterday and have been busy scanning years old family slides. All of mine are mounted in cardboard frames. A very slight learning curve to scan slides (or else I had my stupid hat on yesterday) but I'm happy with my results so far.

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.

I also have thousands of slides that I want to digitize. The 8600 does scan slides, but only if you remove them from their mounts. My advice: Buy a dedicated slide scanner instead.
