Problem scanning odd-sized negs with Epson V750 Pro

[Rhonda]

I'm hoping someone here has had experience with this.

I have to scan tons of 110 negatives on the V750 Pro. There is no film
holder for that size and putting them on the glass created too many
Norton rings to deal with.

Epson suggested I make my own cardboard holders for all of the odd
negatives. I've done that, but cannot marquis the individual frames
properly.

I do a preview scan (in professional mode) of the whole bed. I then
marquis each negative frame. The scanner moves the marquis over and
catches only half the frame when scanning.

The only way that has worked is to marquis one frame, hit "zoom" which
previews again and enlarges -- and shows the marquis in the wrong place.
I then move the marquis to the frame edges in that window and scan.

I can't do this for every frame, I have hundreds to scan. I also have to
scan the old Kodak wheel film, where every frame will be at an angle.
The scanner is moving the marquis and missing the frames on those too.

Can anyone help? Is there some setting I'm missing?

Thanks,

Rhonda

According to this, the scanner comes with Silverfast.

Have you checked for updates or patches for the software ?
For example, Silverfast is here, but because of their gatekeeper scheme,
I cannot look for you. And if, say, the Silverfast was a special
version just for Epson, then perhaps you'd find your patch
or update on the Epson site.

If the problem is software, look for an update. If an
update is not available, try their tech support.

If all else fails, post on:

HTH,

Thanks, Paul. We haven't been using Silverfast, maybe that's part of the
problem. I will have to take another look at it tomorrow.
