8. In the main scanner interface click Save to save the regions to the current preset, or save them to a 
new preset using the 
Save as dialogue.
The 
Summary area in the main interface will indicate when custom regions have been defined in 
the preview window. Click on 
View or modify custom regions in the summary area to display the 
preview window.
9. Click 
Scan in the main interface to scan using the custom regions.
10. When scanning is finished, one image is created for each region set in the preview window.
The number of scan regions you can create is limited by the scanner model and installed modules. For 
instance, most scanners have only one region. When you select a paper size in the Page size list, or 
input the dimensions in the custom page size fields, you are setting a scan region.
When Visioneer Acuity is installed, you can create multiple scan regions for each image scanned. The 
maximum number of scan regions you can create when Visioneer Acuity is installed may vary between 
scanner models. When creating scan regions and you reach the maximum number of allowable scan 
regions, you will not be able to continue creating scan regions until you remove a region you have 
already created.

Move, Resize, or Delete Regions
Moving regions – to move a region, place your mouse cursor over the region you want to move. The 
region will highlight indicating that it is the active region under the mouse cursor. Click on the region 
and drag the mouse to move the region.
Resizing regions – to resize a region, place your mouse cursor over the edge of the region outline. The 
cursor will change to a dual directional arrow. Click on the line and drag the mouse to resize the region. 
If you click on the top or bottom edge, you can only resize the region up or down. If you click on the left 
or right edge, you can only resize the region left or right. Click on a corner edge and then drag the 
mouse to resize the region in all directions.
Note that you can only resize the scan regions to be within the scanner’s minimum and maximum 
supported paper sizes. Please refer to the scanner specification table, in the maintenance section of the 
user guide, for the supported paper sizes for your scanner.

User’s Guide153 Deleting regions
 – to delete a region, place your mouse cursor over the region you want to delete. The 
region will highlight indicating it is the active region under the mouse cursor. Right-click on the region 
and select the delete option from the menu.
Move, Resize, or Delete a Blocked Region
If there is a region you cannot move or resize because another region is in the way, you can temporarily 
move that region behind the other regions. Right-click on the region that is in the way and select 
Temporarily send this region to the back to move that region behind the one that you want to move or 
resize. This is a temporary change in the region ordering and cannot be undone. That region will 
automatically move back into its position when you click to move or resize a region.
Reordering Regions
If you have created multiple scan regions, you can reorder the region priority from the right-click menu 
for the regions. The priority determines which region gets processed first while scanning. For example, 
region 1 will be processed first and appear in the scanning application as the first image. Right-click on 
the region and select an option from the menu. 
						

							Xerox® DocuMate® 3115
User’s Guide 154 Make this the first region
 – select this option to set the region number to 1. This option is not available if 
the region you right-clicked on is already at position 1. After selecting this option, all other regions will 
have their number update automatically as appropriate. 
Make this region a lower number – select this option to move the region number up one in the 
processing order. This option is not available if the region you right-clicked on is already at position 1. 
After selecting this option, all other regions will have their number update automatically as 
appropriate.
Make this region a higher number – select this option to move the region number down one in the 
processing order. This option is not available if the region you right-clicked on is already the last region 
in the processing order. After selecting this option, all other regions will have their number update 
automatically as appropriate.
Make this the last region – select this option to set the region number to the last number in the 
processing order. This option is not available if the region you right-clicked on is already at the last 
position in the processing order. After selecting this option, all other regions will have their number 
update automatically as appropriate.
Clear All Regions
Right-click anywhere in the preview window where there are no regions, and then click on Clear all 
regions to remove all of the regions in the preview area. This will leave only the region labeled as 
number 1. There must always be at least one region for scanning.

Document Source Configuration
Some options in the interface may be grayed out and cannot be selected. Grayed out options are either 
not appropriate for the current scanner, the software needed to enable the feature is not installed, 
or 
the feature is dependent on another setting in the scanner's interface. Hover the mouse cursor over a 
grayed out feature to see information about why the feature is unavailable.
Select 
Basic or Advanced from the list to show the basic or advanced document source configuration 
options as described below.
Basic Options
•Auto source—when scanning in basic mode, this option is always enabled and cannot be changed.
•
Duplex—select this option to scan both sides of the item in the scanner.
Click the drop down menu to select the color mode you want to use.
•
Color scans the document in color, creating a full color copy of an original document or 
photograph. Color scans have the largest file size.
•
Gray scans the document using varying shades of gray to reproduce the document. The grayscale 
scan mode is often used when scanning documents or graphics where the original color does not 
need to be retained, but the graphics need to be legible. Grayscale scanning preserves the graphic 
quality while keeping the file size less than that of a full color scan.
•
Black and White scans the document in bitonal where everything on the page is either black or 
white. This setting is often used when scanning typed or written documents. When there are not a 
lot of graphics, or if the graphics are not needed, this setting is ideal for archiving documents to a 
server or on a disc, send through email, or posting to a web page, as the file size is smaller than the 
other scanning modes.
Advanced Options
•Auto source—select this option to have the scanner automatically determine where the paper is in 
the scanner. This option is only available if your scanner has more than one paper source option, 
such an ADF with a front feed tray scanner, or an ADF with a flatbed combination scanner. When 
this option is not selected, you can select which source you want to use in the scan mode list.

User’s Guide 156
•Multi-stream—select this option to have the scanner create an image of each item scanned in 
each color mode selected in the source list.
•
Duplex—select this option to scan both sides of the item in the scanner. Note that if you deselect 
the Back side options in the source configuration list, this option will automatically deselect.
Click the drop down menu to select the scanning options you want to use.
The available color modes are:
•Automatic determines the color of the document as it is being scanned.
•
Color scans the document in color, creating a full color copy of an original document or 
photograph. Color scans have the largest file size.
•
Gray scans the document using varying shades of gray to reproduce the document. The grayscale 
scan mode is often used when scanning documents or graphics where the original color does not 
need to be retained, but the graphics need to be legible. Grayscale scanning preserves the graphic 
quality while keeping the file size less than that of a full color scan.

Sources identical
If the scanner has multiple paper source options, select this option to have the settings you choose in 
the interface apply to all paper sources in the scanner. For instance, if you select color scanning when 
scanning from the input tray, then the flatbed or front feed tray scans will also be in color. 
(Example: Sources are identical)(Example: Sources are different) 
						

							Xerox® DocuMate® 3115
User’s Guide157
While the option to enable or disable Sources identical is in the source configuration list, the color mode 
is not the only option that can be individually configured for each source. Other options in the scanner 
interface, such as resolution, brightness, contrast, etc... will also be individually set for each source. After 
you deselect 
Sources identical, any changes you make in the scanner interface will only be applied to 
the option that appears at the top of the list (for example, “Input tray (Front side) Black and White”).
To set the scanner options individually for each source:
1. Click the drop down menu and deselect Sources identical.
2. Select the color mode you want for the first source.
3. Click the top of the menu to collapse the list. Select the options in the scanner interface that you 
want to use for the first source.
4. When you are done making changes for the first source, click in the source configuration list and 
select the color mode for the second source.
That source selection will now be displayed in the top of the source configuration list.
5. Click the top of the menu to collapse the list. Select the options in the scanner interface that you 
want to use for the second source.
Tip: Save the changes to a Preset when you are done selecting options for each source. Please refer to 
Presets for more information. 
Sides identical
If the scanner supports two-sided (duplex) scanning, you can individually set the color mode and other 
options in the scanner interface for each side of the page. This option is always selected and grayed 
out if the scanner hardware does not support the feature.
While the option to enable or disable 
Sides identical is in the source configuration list, the color mode is 
not the only option that can be individually configured for each side. Other options in the scanner 
interface, such as resolution, brightness, contrast, etc... will also be individually set for each source. After 
you deselect 
Sides identical, any changes you make in the scanner interface will only be applied to the 
option that appears at the top of the list (for example, “Input tray (Front side) Color”).
To set the scanner options individually for each side:
1. Click the drop down menu and deselect Sides identical.
2. Select the color mode you want for the first side.
