The HP website mentions Vista compatibility, but I wonder if it would be like my HP PSC2210v all in one scanner. It works with Vista, but to a very limited degree. One of my favorite features, scanning an article to a PDF file does not work. In fact the entire HP Director software will not run in Vista. <br>Thanks,<br>Jon Does anyone know if the all HP Software that comes with this scanner work with Windows Vista?

However, the scans are still slow. In my estimation, the quality bottleneck now is in the slides themselves. Also, J&R advertised that you just need "a couple of afternoon" to scan all your old photos. Not true at all! It takes half an hour easily to just work with each photo.

There is no feeder, although you can place multiple photos on the bed at once. The maximum scan size is 8.5" x 12.3". The adapter is built in. Hope this helps!

Is there a way to scan several at one time ? If so, how many. Is there an adapter included with light source ? Is there a feeder, and how does that work ? Please give us some information. I am interested. I need information on how one can scan 35 mm slides. Is there a way to scan several at one time ? If so, how many. Is there an adapter included with light source ?
