First, does your scanner have a negative attachment?
If not, you really can't scan negatives with it.

You need to be able to turn the normal lamp inside the scanner off, and shine a light through the negative in order to scan the image.

If your scanner is capable, you need to use one of the imaging software packages to convert the image from a negative to a positive.

If you need more specific help, please provide the model number of the scanner, and a list of software that came with it. Or, what imaging software you have.
