How Do I Scan 35 MM Film in HP 3800?
The HP 3800 comes with a "transparency materials adapter," or TMA, for scanning 35 mm slides and negatives. Scanning either of those requires using the built-in slide holder on the inside of the scanner cover and the HP Solution Center software. Although scanning is relatively easy, allow yourself time. Slides and negatives need to be treated carefully. Fingerprints or scratches can ruin the images.
