Documents  
Xerox DocuMate 4700  
The Xerox DocuMate 4700 is an 11.7" x 17" flatbed scanner with a built-in USB hub. The hub  
enables the DocuMate 4700 to be connected directly to a PC and used as a stand-alone  
flatbed scanner, or an Automatic Document Fed (ADF) scanner can be connected through its  
USB port for added functionality.  
When connected in tandem (‘daisy-chain’) with a Xerox DocuMate 4799 or DocuMate 4790,  
the Xerox DocuMate 4700 provides the ability to scan delicate or oversized (up to  
A3/11.7"x17") documents that would not otherwise be possible with the ADF alone. A “combo”  
scanner driver supplied with the DocuMate 4700 provides the ability to automatically switch  
between scanners to capture documents from either source without the need to manually  
disconnect and reconnect devices.  
The Xerox DocuMate 4700 has been designed specifically for departmental or production  
scanning environments and may be a suitable option as a complement to the Xerox DocuMate  
4799 and DocuMate 4790 for customers interested in undertaking a wider variety of scanning  
tasks.

3 Performance and  
Image Quality  
3
The following section includes both objective and subjective criteria, which is intended to  
provide a comparative evaluation of the features and characteristics of the Xerox DocuMate  
4799. The features and characteristics of this scanner, which serve as the test criteria, were  
logically split into two groups: formalizable (e.g. performance), which can be expressed  
numerically and non-formalizable (e.g. image quality), which represent general impressions.  
Important Note  
The Xerox DocuMate range of scanners deliver high-quality black and white and office-quality  
color scanned documents that may not be suitable for all scanning applications and/or  
customer environments. As such, Customers should carefully evaluate the capabilities and  
image quality characteristics of the specific Xerox DocuMate scanner they are considering to  
ensure the scanner is suitable for their environment and Xerox printing system(s). The  
guidelines outlined herein are provided for informational use only and are not intended to be  
comprehensive of all factors that should be considered.  
Customers who are considering the Xerox DocuMate range of scanners as a replacement for  
an existing FreeFlow Scanner 665 should not expect to achieve the same levels of image  
quality and productivity for most scanning applications. However, the Xerox DocuMate  
scanners are still among the best quality scanners supported for use with FreeFlow Makeready  
on the market today.  
For the purpose of the evaluation, the tests were performed using the Xerox DocuMate 4799  
and the Reference Scanner using a set of first generation copies of original test patterns/  
images scanned directly to a PC running FreeFlow Makeready. The obtained scans were  
captured independent of applying image enhancement software, which might otherwise  
improve or enhance the appearance of the test patterns/images.  
Note:  
The following performance and image quality evaluation focuses on the Xerox DocuMate  
4799 only. Customers interested in the Xerox DocuMate 4790 (or DocuMate 4700) should  
evaluate the features and characteristics of this scanner to determine if it is a suitable solution  
for their environment  
Performance  
The Xerox DocuMate 4799 (and DocuMate 4790), as well as the Reference Scanner, are  
equipped with Duplex Automatic Document Feeders (ADF), allowing them to scan multi-page,  
duplex (two-sided documents). The Xerox DocuMate 4799 achieves optimal throughput by  
scanning both sides of a document simultaneously through the use of dual-image sensors  
versus the Reference Scanner, which scans each side of a document independently using a  
single image sensor. The Reference Scanner also incorporates a stationary glass surface  
(flatbed) for scanning delicate or oversized (up to 12"x18") documents that cannot be  
accommodated via the ADF.

Performance and Image Quality  
Xerox® DocuMate® 4799 and 4790  
Other factors, such as the color depth and resolution (dpi – dots per inch) of the scanned  
image, as well as the scanning interface itself, also contribute to the overall speed of the  
scanner. The Reference Scanner was connected to the FreeFlow Makeready PC via an Ultra-  
Wide SCSI interface, which provides the best performance especially for high volume scanning  
operations (large data). The Xerox DocuMate 4799 utilizes a Hi-speed USB 2.0 interface, which  
offers plug-and-play convenience and is more widely used in the industry today.  
FreeFlow Makeready allows customers to scan black and white or color documents and save  
them as RDO (Raster Document Object) or Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files.  
Makeready provides two options for saving scanned documents as PDFs: a Xerox option and  
an Acrobat (Distiller) option. Both options produce an Adobe PDF file, however, the resulting  
file size may vary depending on the option selected and/or the scanner driver.

Summary  
The Xerox DocuMate 4799 achieves fast scanning speeds for duplex (two-sided) black and  
white and grayscale documents as a result of the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (ADF),  
which supports simultaneous two-sided scanning— and speeds, on average (simplex/duplex),  
which are comparable to the Reference Scanner for color documents for most scanning  
applications.  
While not as efficient at transferring large amounts of data as the SCSI interface on the  
Reference Scanner, the Hi-speed USB 2.0 interface on the DocuMate 4799 is suitable for most  
scanning applications, offers the added convenience of plug and play and does not require  
adding a separate controller board to the PC.  
Saving files to PDF using the Xerox option produces noticeable larger file sizes for grayscale  
documents and is not recommended.  
Image Quality  
A variety of industry standard test patterns and images were used to objectively evaluate the  
Xerox DocuMate 4799 and its ability to accurately capture (and reproduce) fine detail (text  
and line art), or shades of gray and different colors (color depth). Both the Xerox DocuMate  
4799 and the Reference Scanner support 24-bit color depth and are capable of assigning one  
of 16.8 million values to a color. For scanning monochrome or grayscale images, the Xerox  
DocuMate 4799 supports 8-bit grayscale (1-bit black and white) while the Reference Scanner  
supports 1-bit black and white.

Performance and Image Quality  
Note  
In order to simulate grayscale (8 bits per pixel), the Reference Scanner captures halftone  
images at 1 bit per pixel (black and white) and renders them using halftone screening at  
different frequencies (lpi – lines per inch) based on the content of the document (fine or course  
halftone) versus the Xerox DocuMate 4799, which renders a grayscale image at 8 bits per  
pixel. As a result, the Xerox DocuMate 4799 is capable of reproducing images that more  
closely approximate the original document  
The captured digital images were then compared to equivalent scans (digital images)  
obtained from the Reference Scanner, which served as the baseline, or reference for  
comparison. The results of this comparison have been documented below. All scans were  
captured independent of applying image enhancement software, which might otherwise  
improve or enhance the appearance of the images during or post-capture.

The Xerox DocuMate 4799 achieves very good results for black and white (bi-tonal text and  
line art), and acceptable results for grayscale scanning applications; producing captured  
images that are, in some cases, comparable to the Reference Scanner. Black and white mode  
should not be used to reproduce grayscale or color images.

Support for the Xerox DocuMate range of scanners is provided directly by Visioneer. All  
DocuMate scanners come with US-based, toll-free technical support by contacting Visioneer at  
1(800) 648-0410. Warranties are valid in the U.S. and Canada. An online Knowledgebase for  
troubleshooting and support information is also available 24/7 at www.xeroxscanners.com.  
Note  
If you require training and/or support for FreeFlow Makeready, or the Makeready Scan and  
Print application, contact your local Xerox Analyst for assistance. The scope of support  
provided by Visioneer for the Xerox DocuMate scanners as part of the initial installation is  
limited to installing the scanner and device drivers, and performing a test scan to validate  
operability.  
Service/Maintenance Kits  
Over time, all scanners require occasional cleaning and maintenance in order to keep the  
product in good working order. Visioneer offers maintenance kits that may be purchased to  
maintain the scanner. Each kit contains cleaning supplies, as well as replacement rollers, and  
pads.  
Frequent paper jams are a symptom of a worn roller assembly. A worn roller can cause  
documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. A worn  
roller should be replaced to avoid damage to the scanner’s internal parts. Before replacing the  
roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and smooth.  
For questions regarding replacement parts or ordering information, refer to the scanner User’s  
Guide or contact your local authorized Visioneer distributor.  
FreeFlow Scanner Support  
Comprehensive TWAIN support falls outside of the Xerox Field Service Maintenance  
Agreement (FSMA). Issues found with FreeFlow Makeready and a supported Xerox DocuMate  
scanner will only be addressed if they can be reproduced on a reference scanner available to  
the Xerox Customer Support Center (XCSC).  
In addition, the following limitations may apply when scanning from Makeready via a  
supported Xerox DocuMate scanner and the TWAIN (version 1.9 or above) interface:  
Image quality or performance-related problems are not supported  
Optimization and targeting for a particular Xerox black and white or color printer is not  
supported  
The [Fit to output stock size] selection under [Reduce/Enlarge] in FreeFlow Makeready is  
not supported  
The input page size passed from the FreeFlow Makeready Scan and Print user interface  
may not match Data Source capabilities and, thus, may not be effective. To choose an  
exact input page size, customers should make a selection from the [Advance Scanning]  
user interface  
The [Rotate] selection under [Image Orientation] in FreeFlow Makeready is not supported
