Hi there,
I have a second hand Epson 3170 scanner, and recently acquired some film holders for it. The 35mm film and slide holders work great, however disappointingly the Brownie (Medium Format) Holder isn't recognised by the scanner.
Could some with experience of this scanner or similar help me out, as I am not sure quite why it won't work?
The holders I have are for the Epson 4180, but bar an extra side lug, seem identical to the those of the 3170, and I have removed those on each holder. I have attached photos of both the slide holder and the MF holder.
If I knew how the scanner recognises each holder that would help. The 35mm ones have 2 white squares on the underside, which the MF doesn't. And the MF one features as 2 small holes below the calibration cut out, see last photo.
Anyway, any help would be great appreciated.
