About the Xerox DocuMate 252 Scanner:


  • This scanner allows for single or dual-sided document scanning to various programs and destinations.

For additional assistance with this peripheral, please ask an DMC staff member.

    Other features:
  • 600 x 1200 dpi optical resolution
  • 48-bit internal color

Checking the scan settings before scanning:


  • Checking the scan settings before scanning:
  • To check the scan setting before scanning, press, hold down,
    and then release, either the Simplex or Duplex button.



  • The OneTouch Properties window for that setting also appears
    in case you want to change scanning options before scanning.
    You use this window to reset the configuration, destination
    applications, file formats, and so forth.

    Loading Documents:


  • Load the documents with their top side down into the automatic document feeder. For Simplex (one-sided) and Duplex (two-sided) scanning, load the documents face down.

  • Click on start > all programs > Document Production & OCR > ScanSoft OmniPage Pro 14.0 > OmniPage Pro 14.0
  • In box with the green triangle (pictured below) that says "1 - 2 - 3," select "Text Default" from the pulldown menu
  • Ensure that your documents are in the scanner and press the green start button in the software
  • Follow the on-screen prompts and save your file to "SaveWorkHere" on dekstop
