Okay I have a HP Laserjet 3050 and I was wondering if you scan a picture,will it
be affected by the heat? Will it jam in the roller?:confused: I have pictures of camp and I want to put them on the computer to show some of the natural features of the place on my computer so I'm using kodak pictures and my dad wants to know if it is safe. Is it safe to do it?:confused:

It would be best to take the negatives to a film developer and have them put it on a CD. The quality will be higher and you won't have to worry about the prints.

Exaclty, or, if you have a flatbed scanner, use that, the heat shouldnt affect it, if you dont have time to go to the photo place or local walgreens/cvs/ect.

I don't see why it wouldn't be safe It has a built in scanner so nothing should get hurt. Test it out on some old pics first.

That's the best solution for this problem of yours. Also 0= is quite correct about the photo quality being much better. As some people are replying that they don't see a problem, rhere might be one. Since you are not using a flatbed scanner, it's a much more compressed space when scanning. This compressed space will trap the heat on the photo and may result unwanted yields. If you're not sure,do a test and see what happens. Lastly, you should check the printers manual.
This is all info from Ryandel :)
