     Look into the Nikon 3100 slide scanner. High resolution (4,000dpi),
and roll feed capability.

I'm planning to scan newspaper microfilm -- using Screen Scan most likely. Now newspapers are usually 11x17. I need to scan the whole image at once which means I need to project that image on the screen of my microfilm printer reader Canon MP-90. In essence, I have the opposite problem of most microfilm users in that I want my image to be smaller not larger. Has anyone done this or have suggestions? I was thinking perhaps using a slide scanner with some kind of roll carrier attachment e.g. treating each microfilm image as a 35mm slide.
