Is it possible to scan slides on this printer?

Yes, it IS possible, but not worth the effort. They will not come out well at all. However, Epson makes some slide trays to be use on a V500 Photo Scanner. While I have not tried them on the 835 ( I no longer have mine because it was poorly designed and Epson did not care - I highly do not recommend it) I do have the V500 and the trays work well. You insert your slides into this tray and they lay it flat on the scanner bed. Might work on an 835 - I just don't know. The problem with the tray process is that it is SLOW to do. You have to do a few slides at a time and it takes several minutes to change slides in the copy tray. I suspect that would be true on any printer/scanner. If you have a lot of slides, it is worth it to pay a company to scan them for you!

There are 2 ways. Use the software that came with the printer. Just press the scan button on the printer.

Agree with BigBadBalrog - it works fine with mounted slides. But, it is a one at a time process. We have mostly used the scanner for 35mm negatives and that works well as long as the film piece is long enough - otherwise you need to insert the negative in a holder (included).

Kathleen,No, this printer has no ability to scan 35mm slides. It just has a normal flatbed (document-size) scanner. While another answer suggests that it might be possible, flatbed and 35mm scanners work differently. I would never attempt to use this to scan film. You might also check Epson. They have good printers and models that do scan both documents and slides or film negatives.

The feature comes with the software provided with the photosmart premium. You cannot do it directly on the printer.

Yes, should be able to. Just make sure all the cartridge slots at least have the empty ones in them, and run the scan via the software on your computer. Not via the buttons on the face of printer.

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.

There are two caddies that come with the scanner. One does normal slides and 35 mm negatives. The other one has an opening that is 2 1/4 x 8 1/2. I think you could do the slides there. I have used it for older over-sized negatives with good results.

I think you press the on button and then scroll through options. There is a single negative holder as opposed to the strip holder -- perhaps one slide at a time would fit into that, or could simply be slid into the slot from above, scanned like a negative, then pulled out. A typical slide is the same size as the negative holder. I have been working on negatives so far and have not yet tried slides myself, but that is what I will try when I get around to it. There is an instruction booklet that comes with the scanner, pretty basic but check it out again. Hope this helps a bit.

I've been mostly caught up by the phrase "all-in-one with slide/neg scanning", that is exactly what I was looking for the many years! Thanks for the link - but there is very expensive slide-scanner talk mostly.Thanks again!

i put my Dad's old slides in this and it scanned to my computer. i haven't tried the 110 film yet but the slides worked great

I could not find where you could scan by hitting a button on the printer. I scan through the computer. I would rather it be otherwise.

... 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.

The scanner is capable of scanning them, the problem is you will need to make a special holder for the negatives. 126 slides are no problem.

I use the slide holder that came with my scanner. Can't help you on this one

I have only fooled with this a little, but yes, you insert the slides one at a time and the slide is scanned to a memory card (you supply). I think there is a way to scan to a file on your computer but I haven't been home to try all the features. The operation is very simple, there is a way to specify bw negatives, color negative, or slides. I am a little concerned about the quality of the images, but I need to get an image from a slide I've had professionally scanned, and then compare the two scans.
