Slide holder assembly Epson 1673579 for film/slide scanning, compatible with Epson scanners

Slide holder assembly Epson 1673579 for film/slide scanning, compatible with Epson scanners is a replacement accessory designed to hold photographic slides and short strips of film securely in place during the scanning process. The holder aligns media with the scanner’s imaging area to produce consistent digital captures, reducing the risk of skewed or uneven scans. It is intended for use with compatible Epson flatbed or dedicated film scanners that accept this style of slide holder.

Advantages

The slide holder provides stable positioning and accurate alignment of slides and small film strips, which improves scan consistency and image quality. Made to fit compatible Epson scanners, it simplifies batch scanning sessions by allowing quick insertion and removal of multiple slides or short film segments. Its rigid frame reduces bending and racking of film, helping to minimize handling damage and repeat scans caused by misalignment.

Suitable for

• Digitizing photographic 35mm slides
• Scanning short strips of 35mm film (frames of compatible format)
• Home photo archiving and office digitization projects
• Batch scanning where consistent alignment is required

Key specifications

• Form factor: rigid slide/frame holder designed for slides and short film strips
• Compatibility: designed for use with compatible Epson scanners that accept this type of holder
• Capacity: holds multiple individual slides or short film segments depending on holder design
• Material: durable plastic frame to maintain flatness and alignment during scanning
• Purpose: passive mechanical alignment and stabilization of photographic film and slides

How to use

Open the scanner’s lid and place the slide holder on the scanner’s intended film/slide area according to the scanner’s user guide. Insert individual slides or short strips of film into the designated slots of the holder so that emulsion and orientation match the scanner’s guidance. Close the lid gently to avoid shifting media, then start the scanner software and select the appropriate film/slide type and resolution. After scanning, open the lid and remove the holder, carefully taking out the scanned media.

Recommendations

Handle slides and film by their edges to avoid fingerprints on the image area. Consult your scanner’s manual for exact placement and supported formats before use. Clean the holder and scanner glass regularly with a lint-free cloth and appropriate cleaner to reduce dust and artifacts in scans.
