Need help scanning 35mm slides on Canon PIxma MG7520

There must be a way to do this but I can't find it anywhere. Thanks in advance.

Hi swami7774,

The PIXMA MG7520 does not have the ability to scan slides or film.

To scan that type of media, a light must shine through the film/slide so the scanning element can detect the image. The PIXMA MG7520 does not have this feature.

Ugh. Thanks. I was afraid of that.

If I want to scan slides I have to buy a new Canon, correct?

Hi swami7774,

Canon no longer makes scanners that are capable of scanning film/slides.
