I just "discovered" that cut and sleeved slides are a much better option for scanning. I've had major dust issues and with no slide mounts it makes it easier to clean the strip before it goes in the scanner. I also think that the film strip is flatter and gets a better scan.
I use an HP photosmart scsi scanner. It's old and honestly I don't know what model it is (I think S20 but the scanner software says S10/S20). It gives me many options as far as film, transparency, or print format is concerned. The past few days it has been handling "color slide strips" at 2400dpi beautifully. I hope this answers your question about "teaching" your scanner.
