110 negative scanning on Epson V500

[ProgramPlus]

I have been trying to figure out the best way to create a holder for 110 negatives to scan them on my Epson V500. Fortunately I was at the local Mike's Camera and noted in the discount section a 110 film negative holder for a Pana-Vue scanner. For less than $4 it seemed like a no-brainer. Laying it directly on the scanner and scanning, it's formatting things oddly. The negative holder had 8 small windows. The result of the scan is 5 images in which the 110 negative image is small (ie not blown up to fill the box) and not in any way formatted. On some images, the there are parts of 2 pictures (with the sides cut off) and on some, there is 1 picture.
Any idea what must be done to get the scanner to isolate each image separately. Thanks.

In EpsonScan on the Professional window at the bottom of the page is a thumbnail check box, deselect it. Open the Configuration tab and do some changes in the format size section.
I believe Epsonscan only identifies 135 and 120 formats.
With the thumbnail deselected use the Marque tool to outline the first frame then click the multiple marque tool to get the subsequent boxes for the remaining frames one at at a time. Time consuming but accurate and each box can be custom sized for that frame.

Thanks. That works well. Correct me if I'm wrong but for 110 there is no need to go into the Configuration tab. Seems like the ability to changes sizes is just for the various medium format sizes.
Unfortunately this negative holder doesn't solve all my problems since most of the pics don't line up with the squares on the mask when I scanned the film I had cut down from 35mm. The Pentax just doesn't advance the film the same amount each time without the tiny perforations of the true 110 film.

Have you tried the drop-in holder from Negative Solutions? I haven't tried their 110 holder, but I did purchase a 126 holder for my Epson V550, and am happy with it.

Lomography has a 110 DigitaLIZA film holder for flatbed scanners, but the Lomography site says it is out of stock. There are no frame separaters, so it ought to be OK with uneven spacing. I suppose it will also work for 16mm films other than size 110.

How about putting the strip directly on the glass, scan the whole and just crop in post?

Never tried that. I always thought you had to put it between pieces of special glass or something. I'll try.
I've been looking for the Lomography Digitaliza but haven't seen them on Lomography or other sites for many months.

I just tape one side to the end of my 120 film holder and string it over to the other side taping it there. Then I scan it (not using thumbnails) and use the marquee tool to select each frame and scan. works well.
