Please check if the Select Source is correct, or confirm the film is set correctly and execute preview".</P> Wed, 07 Sep 2022 19:32:30 GMT Uplander 2022-09-07T19:32:30Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Scanners/Lide-600F-problem-scanning-negatives/m-p/385154#M819 <P>I am using a Canoscan Lide 600F with Windows, used it for years, excellent results.&nbsp; I decided to scan some old colour negatives, the first go worked and I was delighted.&nbsp; Next day, using precisely the same settings, it produced an error message.&nbsp; I detached the film adapter, did an ordinary pdf, re-attached the film adapter (same settings as before) and once more it worked ok.&nbsp; I changed the film strip and then got the error message once again.&nbsp; I cannot see why this should work sometimes and not others and wonder if anyone has a solution.&nbsp; The error message is "The film could not be detected.
