Most of the better film scanners have a holder for strips of 6 frames
unmounted, or also a holder for 4 mounted 2x2 slides. There is a motor
that moves the holder so it can batch scan that group.

Except some of the Nikon models only accept one mounted slide, and some do
four. And some of the top end Nikons have an optional (very expensive)
holder for 50 mounted slides.
