Installation
Before You Begin
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 150 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 installing your
scanner, 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 150 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 150 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 Account Control screen asking you to confirm system
changes. Click the Continue button to allow the installation to
proceed.

Installation
5. Select the option you want then click Next.
• Full Install (OneTouch and TWAIN)—This is the recommended
installation. It installs the One Touch 4.0 software which provides
the necessary driver software for the scanner. It also installs the
scanning interface for the TWAIN driver. Installing this option
means that you can use several different methods to scan, as
explained in this User Guide.
• TWAIN Only—The TWAIN driver is installed. The One Touch 4.0
Monitor will not run and you cannot use the One Touch features.
You can use the TWAIN driver to scan from applications with a
TWAIN interface. You also will not be able to scan with the Scan
button on the scanner.
NOTE: If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows Vista,
Microsoft’s Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) interface for scanning is
always available, regardless of your selection on this window.
6. During installation you will see this window asking you to select one of
the images for the Color Space setting.
The Color Space setting sets the gamma value for the scanner so
scanned items look good on your monitor.
7. Select the option that looks best to you and click Next.

Step 3: Connect the Power Supply

USB
Step 4: Connect the USB Cable and Turn on the Power
The Xerox DocuMate 150 scanner connects to any available USB port.
Check your computer’s manual for USB port locations.
1. Remove any protective tape from the USB cable.
2. Plug the USB cable into the USB port on the scanner then into a USB
port on the computer.
If the plug does not attach easily, make sure that you are plugging it in
correctly. Do not force the plug into the connection.
3. Turn on the power switch, located on the back of the scanner to the
left of the power port.
The status light comes on and flashes indicating that the scanner is
receiving power.
If you are using Windows XP or Windows Vista, and have plugged the
USB cable into a USB 1.1 port, an information bubble may open
explaining that “A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non-HISPEED USB hub”. Plug the USB cable into a USB 2.0 port (if
available) or just disregard the message. If you leave it plugged into
the USB 1.1 port, your scanner may scan a bit slower than the 25
pages per minute, and 50 images per minute available with a USB 2.0
port.
Your computer then recognizes that a scanner has been plugged into
the USB port and automatically loads the appropriate software to run
the scanner.
If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you will
see a message similar to the following.

Scanning
If you selected the recommended Full Install option for your scanner’s
driver (see page 9), then you have several different scanning options with
your Xerox DocuMate 150 scanner. Each method scans equally well, so
use the one with appropriate options for the item you are scanning.
The scanning methods with your Xerox DocuMate 150 scanner are:
• Scan Button—When you press the Scan button, documents are
scanned using the scan settings indicated by the LED number. The
scanned images are then sent to a software application on your
computer. See “Loading Documents to Scan” on page 18. To cancel a
scan in progress, click the Cancel button.
• One Touch—Use this option to scan from the computer screen.
Scanning from on-screen One Touch Button Panel is the same as
pressing the Scan button on the scanner, except you click an icon
that represents the scanner button. See “Loading Documents to
Scan” on page 18.
• TWAIN Interface—The TWAIN interface is for scanning from various
programs on your computer. The TWAIN interface can be access
from the PaperPort software, as well as from other programs such as
Microsoft Word. See “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface” on
page 58.
• Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Interface—If your computer is
running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can use this option to
scan with the Microsoft WIA interface. See “Scanning with the WIA
Interface” on page 64.

Loading Documents to Scan
When you press the Scan button, documents are scanned using the scan
settings indicated by the LED number. The scanned images are then sent
to a software application on your computer.
NOTE: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents
before inserting them into the scanner’s Automatic Document Feeder.
Staples and paper clips can jam the feed mechanism and scratch the
internal components. Also remove any labels, stickers, or Post-It™
notes that may come off during the scanning process and get stuck in
the scanner. Misuse as described here will void your scanner’s
warranty.
1. Adjust the paper guide for the width of paper, and make sure the input
and output trays are fully extended.
2. Load the documents face down with the top of the pages inserted into
the Automatic Document Feeder.

Scanning from One Touch
Press the Function button
to cycle through the 9
One Touch scanning
options.
Click these arrows to
cycle through the 9
One Touch scanning
options.
One Touch is your main scanning interface for using the scanner. The
One Touch functions on the scanner mirror the One Touch Button Panel
on screen.
The Default One Touch Settings
Based on the recommended installation of PaperPort and the scanner
driver, your scanner is pre-configured to scan items for various basic
tasks, such as email or fax, then send the scanned image to a Destination
Application. The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the
original factory settings for the Destination Application assigned to a
button.
Scanning
You can change any of these settings. Please see “Configuring the One
Touch Buttons” on page 23 for instructions.
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. The email application will default to the email program specified
in the internet options of Internet Explorer.
A folder icon for a button means that the button is set up to archive the
scanned item. The scanner sends the scanned image directly to a folder
without opening the image first in a Destination Application.
A question mark for a button means your computer does not have the
appropriate software or hardware for the initial factory settings. In that
case, you would probably want to change the name and Destination
Application to something else.
If PaperPort, OmniPage or One Touch OmniPage is not installed, then the
options for sending to word processing applications such as Microsoft
Word will not be available.
NOTE: The default page size in each configuration is based on your
computer’s Windows setup of United States or Metric Units.
• If United States is the selected measurement, the default page size
in each profile will be based on the United States standard page
sizes such as 8.5” x 11”.
• If Metric is the selected measurement, the default page size in each
profile is based on the ISO 216 standard and the majority of the
profiles will default to A4.
