[title] Make sure that the scanner will work with your pc. [step] If you are using a mac, ensure that the scanner is mac compatible; likewise with a pc running microsoft windows, or linux. Ask if they have either " select " or " final scan " options. Select whichever method can work better with the machine. That way you can scan through multiple slides at once. Select the one that you like the best before you start scanning. You may also be able to print, download, and save your slides you want to use as a copy. If you are more interested in scanning slides by hand, consider a dolly.
