5. Insert the left end of the new roller assembly into the hole in the roller channel. Angle the 
roller module up and into the roller channel. Align the tab on the lock flange with the slot in 
the scanner.
Hold the feed roller module fully in the scanner door while you lock it in place. 
6. Use the lever to rotate the locking tab into the slot in the scanner.  Push on the lever until it 
clicks in place and locks the roller in the scanner. 
The lock will “click” into place when it is secure. However, if it does not rotate easily into the 
housing, make sure the flange is properly seated in its latch.
7. Close the scanner when you’re finished.
Troubleshooting
Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong? 
Check for one of these possible causes:
•Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable connections. Make sure 
the cables are plugged in securely.
•Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the status light doesn’t 
come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet. If you are using a UPS battery 
back-up or power strip, try plugging the scanner directly to a wall outlet.
•Did you restart the computer and scanner? If the scanner gets a paper jam, or looses 
connection because of an error, try restarting your computer and power cycling the scanner.
•Did you plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you’re using a USB hub to connect the scanner 
try plugging the scanner’s USB cable directly to the back of the computer. It is not 
recommended that you use the scanner with a USB hub, if you are using a hub, the hub must 
have its own power supply.
•Is the USB cable 6’ or less? If you are using a USB cable that is longer than 6’ you may lose 
connection to the scanner. The recommended USB cable length is 6’ or less, the USB cable 
provided with your scanner is within this range.

•Did you select another image source in the scanning software? If you use multiple 
imaging devices with your computer, such as a camera, all-in-one printer, or another scanner, 
you may have selected another source for images. Make sure Xerox
® DocuMate® 4830 is 
selected as the scanner.
Problem: Why does my scanner not function after performing a system restore on Windows?
The system restore process may have corrupted some of the driver components. It is 
recommended that you reinstall your scanner driver. Please refer to “Uninstalling Your Scanner” on 
page 37 for installation instructions.
Problem: Why won’t my scanner buttons work after scanning with Windows Image Acquisition 
(WIA)?
After performing a scan using the WIA interface you must close the application you were using 
before scanning with the buttons on the scanner. This does not occur when scanning using the 
TWAIN or ISIS interface.
Problem: Why won’t my scanner work after the computer has been sitting idle for several hours?
To resolve the problem, simply turn off the scanner power then turn it back on again.
This may occur after Windows goes into power saving mode to “hibernate” the computer into a 
low power state. When you move your mouse or type on the keyboard it “wakes” the computer 
back up and restores full power to the system. This power fluctuation during the computer’s 
hibernating period may sometimes cause the scanner to lose communication to the computer.
Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. If installation finishes, the scanner’s 
OneTouch options do not seem to work properly.
A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your computer for another 
scanner. Or you previously had another Visioneer
® or Xerox® scanner and that driver program is 
still on your computer. They are interfering with the installation and OneTouch options, and you 
need to remove those other drivers and re-install your Xerox
® scanner. Please see the 
documentation that you received with the other scanner for the steps to remove its driver 
programs. 
Problem: My computer keeps giving me out of hard drive space error messages.
The minimum requirement of free hard drive space is for the installation of the scanner driver and 
basic, low resolution, scanning. High resolution scans result in files that can be over 1 gigabyte in 
size. Free up some space on your hard drive for the software to be able to save the scanned 
images.
Problem: The ADF won’t feed pages properly. 
A dirty or worn ADF pad assembly or dirt on the roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at 
an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. Try cleaning the roller first. See “Cleaning 
Inside the Automatic Document Feeder” on page26. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the pad 
assembly may need to be replaced. It is user replaceable. See “Replacing the ADF Pad Assembly” 
on page 29 for the steps to replace the pad.

Problem: If the USB cable is disconnected during a scan, the scanner does not reconnect when 
the USB cable is plugged back in.
Unplug the power cable from the scanner, and then plug it back in.
If the scanner does not reconnect:
1. Unplug the power cable from the scanner.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After the restart is complete, plug the power cable back in.
Problem: When using "Create single image files" not all of the pages scanned are sent to the 
destination I chose.
There are a limited number of times that an application can open. When "Create single image 
files" is selected and you are scanning to a destination application, each side of the page scanned 
will open a new instance of that application. If you want to have an image open in an application 
immediately, limit your scan batch to less than 5 pages.
Alternatively, you can set your destination to be a folder location on your computer or network 
using "Transfer to Storage". Select any file format and then scan a large batch of papers. At the 
end of scanning, the driver will immediately save all pages scanned to that folder location without 
opening an application.
Problem: I have selected "Skip Blank Originals" but not all of the blank pages have been removed. 
If you are scanning light weight paper, such as 16lb or 18lb printer paper, the scanner may be 
picking up faint images through the paper and the driver will not drop those pages out of the final 
file. The "Skip Blank Originals" result will vary based on the DPI range and paper weight. Generally 
100 dpi or 150 dpi produces the best results.
Problem: I tried to 'Repair' the OneTouch application by using the 'Change' function through the 
Add/Remove Program within the Control Panel and was not able to repair it. 
1. Before attempting to repair OneTouch, unplug the USB cable connected to the scanner. 
2. Perform the Change/Repair function again. If you are asked for the Install DVD, insert the disc 
into the DVD-ROM player and click OK. 
3. When prompted, plug the USB cable back into the scanner. 
4. When the installation process finishes, click OK on the Complete The Installation window, and 
then click Close. 
5. Reboot your computer.
Problem: OneTouch no longer functions after installing Internet Explorer on Windows XP. 
This is a known issue where OneTouch stops responding when Internet Explorer is installed after 
the scanner. To resolve the issue:
1. Open the Windows Add/Remove Programs feature from the Control Panel. 
2. Find Windows Internet Explorer and uninstall it using the change/remove options. Follow the 
wizard through a complete removal of the Internet Explorer software.

3. Find OneTouch and uninstall it using the change/remove options. Follow the wizard through a 
complete removal of the OneTouch program. 
4. Unplug your scanner's USB cable from the computer. 
5. Reboot your computer. 
6. Install Internet Explorer. 
7. Install your scanner driver.
Problem: With AutoCrop to Original selected, sometimes I get blank pages, or pages with lines. 
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: The paper jams the ADF. 
To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, and 
adjust the guides to the paper size. Paper fed into the ADF at an angle can cause the feed 
mechanism to jam. If paper jams are occurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft 
cloth dampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller can make it appear 
worn and will cause issues feeding paper. See “Cleaning Inside the Automatic Document Feeder” 
on page 26 for cleaning instructions. 
Problem: The scanner reports a Double Feed error when there is only one page in the scanner.
Try cleaning the double feed detection sensor. Dust on the sensor may prevent the sensor from 
working properly.
Problem: The scans from the ADF are always crooked.
Make sure to align the paper guides to the edges of the paper. If you are scanning small items 
that are smaller than the paper guides’ minimum adjustment, scan these items on the Flatbed 
glass instead.
Problem: The paper jams about halfway through the scan. 
Check the flatbed glass to make sure no items are on it when you scan from the ADF. Multiple 
items placed on the Flatbed glass will raise the lid slightly, thus preventing the pages feeding 
through the ADF from touching the glass. When that occurs, the pages are unable to feed back 
out of the ADF and the pages can jam.
