I want to scan some negative films through my scanner which is hp scanjet 3500c. Somebody tell me that with a help of TMA cable it can be possible. I dont know exactly about it & confused. I checked my scanner & find three ports at back, USB, TMA & Adapter ports but unfortunately missing TMA cable. Now can anybody tell me that what is that? where can i find it? and is it really helpful for negative films?

Thanks & Regards

With the HP Scanjets the TMA cable is attached to a cover plate that replaces the original top cover and syncs another light source to allow the scanning of Positive & Negative film stocks through your scanner.

Sorry it's a bit more than just a lead that you need here it is a complete new top section of the scanner that is required. However on the up side these where very popular at one time so you may find one available on places like E-Bay and the like.
