  I have 126 negs and would like to scan them in the 135 holder. The scan driver automatically divides at 135 size. I'd like to scan whole strip without frame divides and use software to divide them myself. Is this possible? How? Thanks. Dale

  Some of the previous question was cut off. Here is the whole question:
  I am mainly interested in scanning documents such as pages from bound books. While I may also scan slides, photos, and negatives (if possible), this is a secondary use. How does the 8800F do on documents? Is it worth getting this scanner, or am I better off with the 4400F? The information I have indicates that the 4400F comes with OCR software while the 8800F does not. This could be a benefit. From what I've found I do not see any significant difference in the quality of photo scans from the two, except that the 8800F can apparently scan more slides at once. I do not even understand why this is the case, since the scan area is the same for both. A point by point comparison of the two, especially for scanning documents (and better than available on the Canon web site) would be helpful.
