Installation
Installation
Installation is a quick, four-step process:
1. Assemble the scanner
2. Install the software
3. Connect the power supply
4. Connect the USB cable and turn on the power
Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:
•The information in this guide may cover software not
provided with the scanner you purchased. Please
disregard any information about the software not
applicable to your scanner. Visit our web site at
www.xeroxscanners.com for the latest software updates
for your Xerox DocuMate 510 scanner.
•If your computer has AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software
running, you may encounter alerts or messages during
installation asking you to allow the installation to proceed.
Although the messages will differ based on the software
your computer is running, in each case you should allow
the installation to proceed if that option is available.
Alternatively, you can turn off the AntiVirus or
AntiSpyware software before inst alling your s canner , but if
you do, make sure to turn it back on again when
installation is finished.
•If you already have a scanner connected to your computer ,
it is recommended that you remove that scanner’s driver
program prior to installing your Xerox DocuMate 510
scanner. While in some cases you can configure your
computer to have another manufacturer’s scanner
operational on your computer in conjunction with the
Xerox DocuMate 510 scanner, we do not recommend this
configuration as you may lose some of the driver
functionality on one, or both of the units. You can remove
these programs from the Windows Add/Remove programs
list. Please refer to the user manual provided with your
other scanner hardware for instructions about removing
the driver and software for that unit.
•If your computer is running Windows Vista, you may see
the Vista User Access Control screen asking you to
confirm system changes. Click the Continue button to

About the One Touch Button Panel’s Names and Icons
The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original
factory settings for the Destination Application assigned to a
button. When you installed One Touch, it searched your computer
for applications that will work with the scanner, then listed them as
available Destination Applications on the One Touch Button Panel
and the One Touch Properties window.
For example, the eMail button is set up to scan documents then
immediately attach them to a new eMail message in your default
eMail program. But you can change the name, the Destination
Application, and any of the other aspects of the button.
A question mark for a button, such as shown for Button 5, means
your computer does not have appropriate software, or in some
cases the appropriate hardware for the initial factory settings (Fax
software in this example). In that case, you would probably want to
change the name and Destination Application to something else.
For example, if you scan a lot of documents that have faint images,
such as hand-drawn sketches in light pencil, you might want to
change the button’s name to Sketches, and the Destination
Application to Microsoft Paint, or some other drawing program.
A folder icon for a button, such as shown for Button 7, means that
the button is set up to archive the scanned item. This is a special
pre-configured Transfer to Storage option for your scanner. The
scanner sends the scanned image directly to a folder without
opening the image first in a Destination Application. Use the
archiving option when you don’t need to see the scanned images,
but simply want to store them in a folder.
When you scan with Transfer to Storage as the Destination
Application, the scanner sends the scanned image directly to the
default folder at C:\Documents and Settings\<your user name>\My Documents\My One Touch Archive\PDF Documents
without first opening it in an application. The file will be named with
the current date. It is named PDF Documents because button 7 is
set to scan to the PDF file format. If you set up an archive button to
scan to another format, such as TXT, the folder would be named
TXT Documents. To see a scanned image that has been archived,
open it using the appropriate application for the format. For
example, to see a TXT image, open it with Microsoft Word or
WordPad.

Image Formats
Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents
that you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF are standard
image file formats generally used if you want to do additional image
processing, such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of
those file formats tend to be larger than the JPEG format.
Because JPEG image files can be reduced in size, the JPEG
format is often used for images on web pages, or if file size might
be a problem when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are
reduced in size by lowering their image quality, and you can select
the degree of quality for your scanned images from the JPEG file
format icon.
The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You
may want to select PDF as the format when scanning text pages
that do not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF
format is also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as
pdf-readable files. As with the JPEG option, the PDF format can be
reduced in size or quality.

When using the AutoCrop to Original option with the
Automatic Document Feeder, make sure to adjust the
paper guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed
when it feeds into the scanner . Skewed pages may not crop
properly.
•Reduce Moire Patterns—Moire patterns are wavy, rippled
lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of
photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and
magazine illustrations. Selecting Reduce Moire Patterns
will limit or eliminate moire patterns in the scanned image.
This option is only available for the GrayScale or Color

•Straighten Image—Select this option to let the scanner
automatically determine if a page is skewed, then
straighten its image. The scanner detects page edges and
can sense when the page is fed through at an angle.
However, if the page is fed through at too great an angle,
the image may not straighten correctly. In that case, rescan the page using the paper guides to feed the paper in
straight.

Scanning with the TWAIN Interface from PaperPort
Scanning with the TWAIN
Interface from PaperPort
Instead of using the One Touch Button Panel to scan, you can scan
from the TWAIN interface. The PaperPort application you receive d
with your scanner uses the TWAIN interface for scanning. This
scanning method is particularly helpful when you’re using
PaperPort to file and save scanned items, or to adjust scanning
settings prior to scanning.
A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a
widely recognized procedure that software applications use to
receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital
devices. This guide shows how to scan with the TWAIN interface
from PaperPort. But you can also open the same TWAIN interface
from many other graphics and imaging applications and scan from
them as well. Because the TWAIN interface is the same re gardless
of the software you use to open it, you can still u se the inst ructions
in this User’s Guide for scanning with your Xerox DocuMate 510
scanner. To access the TWAIN interface from other software,
please refer to their user’s guides, then return to this User’s Guide
for the steps to scan.
NOTE: If the One Touch configuration you’re using to scan is
set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is
TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away without opening
PaperPort first. See the section “Configuring Before Scanning”
on page 62 for details.

Adjusting the Resolution
Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the
scanned image. The resolution setting for a scan is in dot s-per-inch
(dpi). The higher the resolution, the finer the details. However,
higher dpi settings also take longer to scan and produce larger file
sizes. Usually the higher resolution settings are used for precision
work, such as photographs or fine artwork.
The following figure shows the resolution options.
NOTE: The location of various buttons on the panels may be
slightly different on your Advanced Interface window. The
appearance of the window depends on your computer monitor’s
screen resolution.
To adjust the resolution:
1. To use one of the preset resolutions for typical scanned items,
click one of the options in the list.
For example, to set the resolution for scanning a business card,
select Business Card. That setting is preset to read small print
on a typical business card.
2. To set the resolution manually, drag the Resolution slider to
the left to decrease the resolution or to the right to increase it.
You can also type a number directly into the resolution setting
box, or click the up and down arrows to increase or decrease
the setting. The resolution settings on your Xerox DocuMate
510 scanner range from 50 dpi to 600 dpi.

3. Click Reset to return the resolution to its original setting.
The resolution panel also includes an advanced setting for Moire
patterns. Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines that sometimes
appear on the scanned images of photographs or illustrations,
particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. To scan the
image and limit or eliminate moire patterns, select the Reduce
Moire option. This option is only available from 50 to 300 dpi.
Adjusting the Brightness and Contrast
Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set
to be too light or too dark. For example, a note written with a light
pencil may need to be scanned darker to improve legibility.
The following figure shows the brightness and contrast options.
Contrast is only available for Color and Grey Scale configurations.
To adjust the brightness and contrast:
1. Drag the Brightness slider to the left to make the item darker
or to the right to make the item lighter.
2. Drag the Contrast slider to the left to decrease the contrast or
to the right to increase the contrast.
You can also type a number directly into the brightness or
contrast setting boxes, or click the up and down arrows next to
the box to increase or decrease the setting.
3. Click Reset to return the settings to their original numbers.

Adjusting Gamma, Saturation, and Color Hue
If you’re using the Color Configuration to scan, you can adjust a
group of color settings. Gamma controls the brightness of the color
midtones. Saturation is the strength or purity of a color and hue is
the color your eyes see as reflected from the image.
The following figure shows the color options.
To adjust the color settings:
1. Drag the Gamma, Saturation, and Color Hue sliders to the left
to decrease the settings or to the right to increase the settings.
You can also type a number directly into the setting boxes, or

Adjusting Input Size
You can scan documents up to 8.5" x 14" with the Automatic
Document Feeder, and up to 8.5" x 11.69" on the Flatbed Glass,
but you can also select other scan sizes, or adjust the input size to
scan only specific sections of an image. For example, if you’re
scanning a photograph and want to focus on one section, adjusting
the input size removes the rest of the photograph from the final
scanned image.
The following figure shows the input size options.
