(notice nowhere on the product info page does it ever say it is for scanning prints)

 Yeah, because in the U.S it's actually illegal to own a 35mm copy of a copyrighted movie.

 There is still an international convention protecting motion pictures i thought.   They don't enforce it anymore? 

I heard that although it is illegal that in the United States they simply no longer enforce the law.  Not that i am wealthy enough to own the equipment and or films and would be willing to test the waters to see if the NSA and FBI would not come after me.
