documents using the scan configuration with the appropriate storage
location for that set. Then switch to another scan configuration and scan
the next set of documents to store them in their folder.
NOTE: The selections you make using the Storage Options tab
override the storage location that is set in the Storage Link Properties.
Setting up multiple folders for transfer to storage:

Scanning from the TWAIN Interface
Scanning from the TWAIN
Interface
You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of scanning
from the One Touch buttons on your scanner or the One Touch button
panel.
A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a
widely recognized standard that computers use to receive images from
scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. The TWAIN
scanning interface can be accessed from any TWAIN scanning
application you have installed on the computer. Applications such as
Nuance PaperPort and OmniPage, which were provided with your
scanner, and many other applications, can use the TWAIN interface for
scanning. Because the TWAIN interface is the same regardless of the
software you use to open it, you can still use the instructions in this User’s
Guide for scanning with your Xerox DocuMate 515 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: You can access the TWAIN interface when you’re scanning
from the One Touch software. If the One Touch configuration you are
using is set to Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is
TWAIN, the TWAIN interface opens right away when pressing the
button on your scanner without opening any other TWAIN-compliant
software first. See the section “Configure Before Scan” on page 36 for
details.
The PaperPort and OmniPage user guides are located on the installation
disc you received with the scanner.
The PaperPort software includes a complete set of help topics that
answer questions about each feature of the software. To open the Help
Topics window, press the F1 key on your keyboard or choose PaperPort help from the Help menu.

Scanning from the TWAIN Interface
Adjusting the Resolution
Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned
image. The resolution setting for a scan is in dots-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. For black and white
documents, 150 dpi will make a copy of similar quality to the original. If
you are scanning photographs to make copies, 300 dpi will make a direct
size copy of similar image quality to the original. You would use a higher
dpi setting to enlarge a picture from the original size.
To adjust the resolution:
1. To use one of the preset resolutions for typical scanned items, click
one of the options in the list.
2. To set the resolution manually, drag the Resolution slider to the left
to decrease the resolution or to the right to increase it.
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
not available for high resolution settings.

Regular maintenance of your scanner can help to ens ur e con tin u al
optimal performance.
You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if documents do not
feed easily into the ADF, or several feed in at the same time.
To clean the ADF:
1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol).
2. Open the ADF cover.
3. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its
entire surface.
NOTE: Please be careful when cleaning the roller. The roller is
designed to rotate in one direction only. As you’re cleaning the roller,
make sure it rotates easily, and continue rotating it in that direction
while wiping it clean. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite
direction. Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it, and may cause the
scanner to feed pages incorrectly.
4. Wipe the ADF pad from top to bottom. Be careful not to snag the cloth
on the springs on either side of the pad.
5. Close the cover when you’re finished.

Cleaning the Scanner Glass
Clean the raised, thin
plate of glass here if

Scanning items that have excessive amounts of dirt or dust may dirty the
glass. To ensure the best quality scanned item, wipe the scanner glass
with a soft, dry, clean cloth to rid the glass of dust or other debris.
If any residue remains after wiping the glass with a dry cloth, try adding a
few drops of Isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol ) to the cloth and wipe off
the residue.
NOTE: If lines appear on the images scanned with the ADF, but not on
the Flatbed glass, the raised, thin plate of glass used by the ADF may
be dirty. This plate is at the side of the glass and has the white
reference frame. When pages are pulled through the ADF during
scanning, this thin glass plate is where the images are captured by the
scanner.

Troubleshooting
Maintenance
In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this section,
please see the Readme file on your installation CD. The Readme file
contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems with
the scanner. Also visit our web site at www.xeroxscanners.com for
additional technical information.
Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong?
Check for one of these possible problems:
•Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable
connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.
•Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power . If the
status light doesn’t come on, plug the power supply into another
electrical outlet.
•Is the scanner’s locking tab in the locked position? Slide the
locking tab to the unlocked position. If you tried to scan with the
scanner locked, you must restart your computer after unlocking the
scanner.
•Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you
didn’t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software
files. Try restarting your computer.
•Did you select another TWAIN source for acquiring images? If
you use multiple TWAIN devices with your computer, you may have
selected another source for images. S tart the PaperPort softwa re and
make sure TWAIN:Xerox DocuMate 515 is selected as your
scanner.
Problem: I got the error message: PaperPort cannot
allocate enough memory to perform internal critical
operations.
Close any other active applications so that additional memory is available.
If you click Continue, PaperPort moves the file to the PaperPort data
directory and renames the file with the prefix “bad.” This allows you to
recover the file later. To recover the file, import it into PaperPort by using
the Import command in the File menu.
Problem: The installation will not complete successfully.
A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your
computer for another scanner. They are interfering with the installation
and One Touch options, and you need to remove those other drivers and
re-install your Xerox DocuMate 515 scanner. Please see the
documentation that you received with the other scanner for the steps to
remove its driver programs. After uninstalling the other scanner’s driver
programs, uninstall One Touch 4.0 using the steps on page 82, then
reinstall it using the steps on page 7.
DocuMate 515 Scanner User’s Guide79
Maintenance
Problem: Paper is jamming constantly in the ADF.
To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper
before scanning, and adjust the guides to the paper size. Paper fed into
the ADF at an angle can cause the feed mechanism to jam. If paper jams
are occurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft cloth
dampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller
can make it appear worn and will also cause issues feeding paper. See
“Cleaning the Automatic Document Feeder” on page 76 for cleaning
instructions.
Problem: The ADF won’t feed pages properly.
A dirty or worn ADF pad assembly or dirt on the roller can cause
documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multip le p ages to feed a t the
same time. Try cleaning the roller first. See “Cleaning the Automatic
Document Feeder” on page 76. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the p a d
assembly may need to be replaced. See “Replacing the ADF Pad
Assembly” on page 78 for the steps to replace the pad.
Problem: The paper jams about halfway through the
scan.
Check the Flatbed glass to make sure no items are on it when you scan
from the ADF. Multiple items placed on the Flatbed glass will raise the lid
slightly , thus preventing the p ages feeding through the ADF from touching
the glass. When that occurs, the pages are unabl e to feed back out of the
ADF and the pages can jam.
Problem: The scans from the ADF are always crooked.
Make sure to align the paper guides to the edges of the paper. If you are
scanning small items that are smaller than the paper guides’ minimum
adjustment, scan these items on the Flatbed glass instead.
Problem: If the USB cable is disconnected during a scan,
the scanner does not reconnect when the USB cable is
plugged back in.
Unplug the power cable from the scanner, and then plug it back in.
If the scanner does not reconnect:
1. Unplug the power cable from the scanner.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After the restart is complete, plug the power cable back in.
