Scanning 35mm slides with PIXMA TS8220

[PeterB]

I have had multifunction printers in the past with which I was able to scan 35mm slides into my computer. I am not aware if this is possible with my TS 8220 printer?

Hello.

The TS8220 is not able to scan film or slides.   It has been many years since we've had an all-in-one product that can scan film.  The last products that we had that were able to scan film were our "F" series CanoScan models such as the CanoScan 5600F or the CanoScan 9000F Mark II.

OK. Thank  you!

I have the 5600F and I still use it on my old Windows XP computer for scanning slides.  I don't understand why canon don't provide software for the MX 900 series printers running on Windows 11 64-bit computers.  The 5600F scanner is not very speedy, but that is OK for scanning a few 35MM slides or a few negatives.  I would love to free up the space by not having to use the 5600F to scan slides and negatives by being able to use my MX922 printer.
