    Canon MP160 digitize slides

    I acquired recently the printer multifunction Canon MP160 and all functions correctly, but I would like to be able to digitize my slides… I know that in theory, this scanner does not do it. Does there exist a “trick house” to repair me?

    Thank you in advance for your answers

    you need a scanner able to treat what is transparent. Example scanner:
    CanoScan 4400F

    there existed, a special support which with the assistance of a small mirror returned the light on the slide, for the scanners which did not have the function.
    because a slide must be backlighted.

    I do not know if this accessory is always in the trade, and if the results were satisfactory. I Google and I return if I find.

    Indeed an accessory was provided with certain scanner to one time. It is possible of one with two small mirrors of identical size, a little paperboard and the adhesive Scotch tape.

    The goal being to place them at right angle one of the other so that the light generated by the interior of the scanner comes retro-to light the slide. The device of course should be placed in order to of the light is returned at the same time as the scannage.
