    <pre> Please excuse cross posting.

    There is a faculty member here who has a HP ScanJet 4c scanner that is not working properly. I was wondering if any of you had experience with such a scanner and whether you would provide me with some information about your experience operating/repairing said scanner. She outlines the problem she has been experiencing in the following paragraph:

    1. My scanner is a Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 4c. It has a separate hardware attachment (measures 23 1/2 x 14 3/4 x 2 1/2) that I place on top of my scanner bed (measures 4 1/2 x 23 1/2 x 14 3/4) after I remove the scanner top ( 14 3/4 x 23 1/2 x 1/4") that is used for scanning photos. The part that does not work to scan slides and transparencies is titled Hewlett-Packard ScanJet 4c/T (for transparencies). A light comes on when I hook it up but the technician over the phone thought that maybe the light is getting too weak that it is not recognizing it. The problem is that the scanner & computer do not recognize the transparency adapter. I have hardly used it but it did work when I last connected it.

    My second question has to do with lantern slides. I know there has been discussion in the past regarding successful approaches to capturing lantern slide images. I have searched the ARLIS-L archives unsuccessfully so if any of you would fill me in on your strategies I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you.
