Maintenance

Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. 
If installation finishes, the scanner’s One Touch 4.0 
options do not seem to work properly. What do I do? 

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 250 scanner. Please see the 
documentation that you received with the other scanner for the steps to 
remove its driver programs. You can also use the basic steps in the 
section “Uninstalling Your Scanner” on page 73, but in Step 3, instead of 
uninstalling One Touch 4.0, uninstall the other scanner’s driver programs. 
After uninstalling the other scanner’s driver programs, uninstall 
One Touch 4.0, then reinstall it.

Problem: With AutoCrop to Original selected, sometimes 
I get blank pages, or pages with lines. What’s wrong?

The pages were probably scanned in crooked, or skewed. To use 
AutoCrop to Original, the pages must be scanned in straight. Adjust the 
paper guides on the scanner so pages feed in straight. 

Problem: How do I uninstall PaperPort? 

See the section “Uninstalling Your Scanner” on page 73. Uninstalling 
does not delete your scanned items, and they remain in the PaperPort 
Data folder.
