If you try the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and in the Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, you may have a malfunctioning scanner. Refer to the technical support card that you received with your scanner.
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.
Maintenance Status Light Troubleshooting Codes A green status light indicates the normal state of the scanner. Normal Operation • Blinking green: indicates the scanner is waking up from power saving and preparing to scan. • Steady green: indicates the scanner is ready to scan. Error Codes If your scanner experiences hardware problems, the status light will blink red. The number of times it blinks indicates the error code. In all cases you should turn off your scanner and check your scanner setup.
