Question 1

How many 35mm negatives will it hold and transfer at one time?

Accepted Answer

The plastic mask holders that come with it will hold 4 color slides, and two 35mm film strips about 9.5 inches long.

Question 2

Does this have any networking/WiFi built in?   Will it work well with a modern Mac OSX system.

Accepted Answer

This is an older question. But yes, it works with the current MacOS X system, including Catalina (10.15.x). The Mac Drivers/software are most easily downloaded from the Epson website (who knows what's in the box or how old the CD might be). However, unlike earlier Epson scanner software, the current Epson version is not particularly flexible (though I often use it for a "quick and dirty" scan). For Mac users, they offer a free version of SilverScan 8, a "third party" scan controller that's been around for many years. It is fully featured with both "easy" and "pro" interfaces. For "final" scans, it's the go to choice. (After registering your Scanner with Epson, then you'll get a link to the SilverFast web site, and upon entry of the scanner serial number, you can download the SilverFast product.

It requires an "a-b" USB cable (comes with one) to connect to the computer. I use mine with a longer cable (that I had to buy) so it can sit on a table behind the desk with my computer. There seems to be no problem using a 12" USB cable.

Question 3

I am interested in scanning 35mm slides.  Does this scanner do a good job and does it have a slider feeder or do you have to scan one at a time?

Accepted Answer

The scanner comes with a plastic frame into which you can either place two strips of negative film or, by turning the frame 180 degrees, place four mounted slides in it for scanning. The Epson Scan software allows you to select from many options for resolution, color correction, etc, and scanning four color slides at 2400 dpi takes only about 2.5 minutes. You can go higher than that, of course, but with attendant increases in time. In fact, if you're not preserving the slides but merely scanning a few for some presentation, you could get by with 1200 dpi or less, and much less time to scan. I recently scanned about 3,200 slides of my father's from 1950 - 1990 or so, all at 2400 dpi. He used Kodachrome most of the time, but many he had taken with Ektachrome film were badly discolored and faded, often looking entirely magenta. The "Color Correction" option did a nice job of restoring some color to these, and I was delighted with the overall results. If you have a large number to scan, you'll find you can get into a rhythm and move along quickly.

Question 4
