Is what you've been doing only possible with the 2450? I can't get the slide scanner to activate with the 1260--all I get is one flash and that's it. The function doesn't recognize that I have a transparency loaded instead of a 2 dimensional print, so no joy. The Windows software recognizes the slide immediately, and activates the slide scanning function.
