Epson Scan can not recognize 6x6 strip ?

[Steven Woody]

hi,

scanner is epson 4870, software is the build-in Epson Scan. it seems
ok for 135 film stip scanning but gets problem when i inserted the 120
film holder. the preview get problem to recognize the full 6 6x6 film
in the holder, most of frames are only partily displayed in the
preview window.

had anyone met this problem?

This is a common problem which you will find discussed many times in various
forums. Auto cropping is often fooled. You need to go into Professional
mode, click on the arrow next to Preview, choose Normal, re-preview, now
manually crop. It takes a bit longer to do this but it is shorter in the
long-run since you know you are obtaining all of your images on the first
scan and won't need to take the time to rescan. You can set up a batch scan
with individual settings for each image. Here are some more detailed
instructions I have put up:
