how do I scan negatives ?

[clarelouise]

Can someone tell me how to scan negatives on my new cx5200 printer/scanner/copier. Do I have to buy a transaprency adaptor. Or is there a special way I can scan them without having to buy a transparency adaptor. Any advice would be great. Thank You. clarelouise.

It looks like you have one of the best rated machines going by the reviews, but as far as I can see it doesn't have a facility for negatives. This was the very reason I've just bought the CanoScan3000F because of the negative/slide adapter. Have a good look on your instruction manual for all the features, or look here: http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache:Yy5EF6UksP8J:

thanks cetti for the information. I have looked and I can't seem to find anything about negatives so it looks like I am going to have to buy a transparency adaptor. I must say though. I am extremely pleased witht his printer/scanner/copier. I scanned a picture of one of my wedding photo's that I wanted enlarging.The quality is amazing and you would think I had taken it to a photo lab to have it done. I have framed it and it looks wonderful.I am over the moon. We have some negatives of our wedding that we didn't choose and I just wanted to print some of those off but it looks like I will have to buy the transparency unit. Thanks for you help cetti. clarelouise.
