Questions about Nikon SA-30 roll film adapter



I have some questions about the aperture/scan range and the frame
detection of this Nikon SA-30 roll film adapter. I am looking for a
film scanner than can continuously scan a whole roll of film without
frame separations. Actually, there is overlap between frames in my
film, but I want to reconstruct the whole sequence of the frames
digitally as that in the film. I hope that the scanned images also have
overlapped area that I can put them together in software.

I find that in Nikon's manual, the scan range has a 38 mm length while
with a 36 mm effective length. What does this effective length mean
here? Does it mean that the scanned area has to be or smaller than that
size? If that, it looks that there must be a 2 mm separation between
the nearest frames.

I heard that the scanner will automatically determine frames. For my
case, there is no real meaning separated frames, then how will the
scanner work? Can I manually set where is the first frame and start
scanning? Anybody has experimence on my issue?
