Mp460 can it scan negatives

Do you want a recomendation?do you want new or used? Typically all in one users don't scan slides or film, but flat prints, so they don't have the lighted back lid needed to scan film.I know that the Epson Stylus PHOTO RX-620 & 700 had a holder for 4 slides or 1 strip of film about 8 inches long

If you only scan your photo to your printer no need to used inks for that...just click the scan icon witch located in your pc...thanks

You can try scanning negatives the same way you scan prints, but the results may not be great. Scanners that are designed to scan negatives usually have some way to put light behind the negative to make sure it scans with enough contrast. They often also come with special holders for negatives. I don't know if your model was specifically meant to do negatives, but you can't hurt anything by trying.

After you scan a negative you need to convert it to a positive. The scanner may have come with software that can do this. If not, IrfanView is a free program that can do that as well as much more. It's a great general-purpose image viewer, so it's worth downloading in any case.

You can download the manual for your printer Canon MP460 here (Click Here), open the link and click "Download" below the thumbnail. The tutorial about scanning is on page # 25.

Hello,

You should be able to find out what you need by going to the product's website:
http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&tabact=SupportDetailTabAct&fcategoryid=238&modelid=13369#DownloadDetailAct

Click on the "Drivers & Downloads" tab able halfway down the page. Click on the "User's Guide" link to open the guide. Looks like scanning information begins on page 58.

Hope this helps! : )

You must have chosen "negative" output in the scanner setup. Go through the scanner options and you should be able to find a way to undo it..

are you pressing ok on the printer? all of your scanning should be done via the MP460 navigator. check your applications under the Canon Utlitiy and click on the MP460 Navigator button. scanning needs to be done via that - not the actual printer. refer to the dialogue box when you are on the MP460 navigator. lower left area has a Save bar, when you click on it tow options: save to PC or save as PDF.
