Preface
General Purpose and Audience
This document provides a comparative evaluation of the features and characteristics of the
Xerox® DocuMate® 4799 against a reference scanner selected by Xerox (FreeFlow® Scanner
665), and includes additional functional specifications and/or descriptions of the Xerox
DocuMate 4790 and DocuMate 4700 (refer to Section 1: Versatile Scanning Solution for Large
Documents) scanners. It is designed to help customers understand the capabilities and
specifications of the Xerox DocuMate 4799 and DocuMate 4790 prior to making a buying
decision.
Important Note
The Xerox DocuMate range of scanners deliver high-quality black and white and office-quality
color scanned documents that may not be suitable for all scanning applications and/or
customer environments. As such, Customers should carefully evaluate the capabilities and
image quality characteristics of the specific Xerox DocuMate scanner they are considering to
ensure the scanner is suitable for their environment and Xerox printing system(s). The
guidelines outlined herein are provided for informational use only and are not intended to be
comprehensive of all factors that should be considered.
Customers who are considering the Xerox DocuMate range of scanners as a replacement for
an existing FreeFlow Scanner 665 should not expect to achieve the same levels of image
quality and productivity for most scanning applications. However, the Xerox DocuMate
scanners are still among the best quality scanners supported for use with FreeFlow Makeready
on the market today.
FreeFlow Makeready Scanner Support
For customers who require assistance selecting a suitable scanner to use with FreeFlow
Makeready® and/or are interested in purchasing scanning hardware directly from Xerox, Xerox
offers the DocuMate range of scanners.
As the newest additions to the Xerox DocuMate product range, the Xerox DocuMate 4799 and
DocuMate 4790 provide advanced document handling and image processing technology and
are designed for easy operation in a variety of environments with complex document scanning
requirements. The Xerox DocuMate 4799 also supports sRGB, making it color-space
compatible with the Xerox iGen
digital press.

1 Introduction
Since the initial introduction of the Xerox® DocuMate® product line, Visioneer has been
combining its leading scanner technology with the brand recognition of Xerox to deliver a
broad range of scanning solutions for workgroup and mid-volume production environments.
Xerox DocuMate high-performance business scanners and imaging software solutions offer
customers speed, image quality, advanced paper handling and ease-of-use with exclusive
Visioneer OneTouch® Technology.
Designed for mid-volume production environments, the Xerox DocuMate 4799 and DocuMate
4790 continue this tradition by delivering high-quality black and white and office-quality color
scanned documents to Xerox printing systems.
The Xerox DocuMate 4799 and DocuMate 4790 are integrated with FreeFlow Makeready®
via the TWAIN interface (TWAIN version 1.9 or above), which may be accessed directly from
the Makeready PC. TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive
images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices.
Xerox DocuMate 4799
The Xerox DocuMate 4799 delivers superior reliability and the most advanced functionality for
high-production environments. By employing three advanced sensor systems: ultrasonic
double feed detection, stapled document detection and intelligent feed control, this innovative
scanner ensures that documents of various sizes can be stacked together in the automatic
feed tray and will be processed at scan speeds up to 112 pages per minute.

Versatile Scanning Solution for Large
Documents
Xerox DocuMate 4700
The Xerox DocuMate 4700 is an 11.7" x 17" flatbed scanner with a built-in USB hub. The hub
enables the DocuMate 4700 to be connected directly to a PC and used as a stand-alone
flatbed scanner, or an Automatic Document Fed (ADF) scanner can be connected through its
USB port for added functionality.
When connected in tandem (‘daisy-chain’) with a Xerox DocuMate 4799 or DocuMate 4790,
the Xerox DocuMate 4700 provides the ability to scan delicate or oversized (up to
A3/11.7"x17") documents that would not otherwise be possible with the ADF alone. A “combo”
scanner driver supplied with the DocuMate 4700 provides the ability to automatically switch
between scanners to capture documents from either source without the need to manually
disconnect and reconnect devices.
The Xerox DocuMate 4700 has been designed specifically for departmental or production
scanning environments and may be a suitable option as a complement to the Xerox DocuMate
4799 and DocuMate 4790 for customers interested in undertaking a wider variety of scanning
tasks.
