Memory Card or USB Flash Drive
You can only scan to either a memory card or a USB flash drive. If you have both inserted in the scanner, the scanner 
will detect and use the memory card for scanning.
1. Remove the memory card from its case.
2. Place the memory card, with the copper strips face down, in the SD slot on the back of the scanner. Press on the 
card until it “clicks” into place.
If you have a USB flash drive, you can connect it to the USB port on the back of the scanner instead of using a 
memory card.
3. Turn on the scanner power.
4. All of the LEDs will flash as the scanner initializes. When the scanner is ready to scan, a single LED will be lit next 
to the first function represented by a camera icon.
5. Tap the function button on the scanner to cycle through the scan options until the LED is lit next to the option 
you want to use to scan.

7. The scanner detects the page and starts to feed it through the scanner.
Note that there will be a short pause after you insert the page before the scanner starts to feed the page. This 
pause allows you to straighten the item in the paper feed slot.
8. When scanning is finished, the image is saved on the memory card or USB flash drive.
Creating Multiple Page PDF Files
1. Turn on the scanner
2. Tap the function button until the light is lit next to one of the PDF function icons. The PDF functions are 
represented by the page icons on the scanner.
3. Insert an item in the scanner.
4. The scanner scans and the LED for the PDF function will flash rapidly. This means that the scanner is waiting 
for an additional item. 
5. You have 10 seconds from the last page scanned to insert a another item. Continue scanning until all pages 
have been scanned.
6. When you are finshed you can let the timer run out, or simply press the function button.
7. When the LED stops flashing the PDF file is saved with all items scanned in one file.
Retrieving the Scanned Images
1. Remove the memory card from the scanner and insert it into the memory card reader in your computer. 
If you are using a USB flash drive, remove it from the scanner and plug it into a USB port on your computer.
2. The memory card or USB flash drive will be detected by the computer as a disc drive from which you can copy 
or move the images.Scans in black & white at 300dpi and creates an Adobe PDF (*.pdf) file.

Android® Devices (Smartphones and Tablets)
You can connect the scanner to an Android mobile technology based Smartphone or tablet and scan directly to the 
device's memory card.
Before proceeding, please note the following requirements for scanning:
• Scanning to a mobile device using a USB cable is only supported when the phone or tablet is able to be used as 
a disc drive. 
To test this function for your device, attach it to your computer using its USB cable.  If the device is detected as 
a disc drive you should be able to scan directly to it when it is attached to the scanner.  If it is not detected as a 
disc drive, you will not be able to attach it to the scanner and scan.  However, as indicated in the 
troubleshooting steps in this section of the user guide, the device may have several USB connection options 
(including auto-sync, disc drive, and charging).  Please refer to your device’s user documentation for 
information about the USB connection types.
• An external memory card must be installed in the mobile device for the scanner to detect it as a storage device.
Tip: the scanner automatically powers off after 2 minutes to conserve battery power. Tap the function button 
occasionally to keep the scanner powered on while initiating the connection between your mobile device and the 
scanner.
Note: If a memory card is in the scanner, remove it before proceeding with these instructions.
1. Connect the phone’s USB cable to the phone.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port in the back of the scanner.
3. Turn on the scanner.
The LEDs on the scanner will flash until the phone is properly detected as a USB flash drive.
4. Your phone should now prompt you to choose the USB connection type. On your phone choose the USB 
connection type to mount it as a disc drive. 
This is the same prompt you would receive when you plug your phone into a computer with a USB cable. If you 
do not see this prompt, refer to the troubleshooting steps below.
5. The LEDs on the scanner will stop flashing when the phone is properly set and detected as a USB storage 
device. When the scanner is ready to scan, a single LED will be lit next to the currently selected scan function.
6. Tap the function button on the scanner to cycle through the scan options until the LED is lit next to the option 
you want to use to scan.

Retrieving the Scanned Images
Please follow your normal process for viewing, saving, or forwarding files on your phone. In most cases, you will need 
to disconnect the device from the scanner to be able to access the scanned files.
Troubleshooting Connection Issues
While several models of Google Android mobile technology devices have been tested to work with the scanner, we 
cannot guarantee that every Androidbased device will work, nor guarantee that every device will work as described 
above.
Here are some basic troubleshooting steps you can try if your scanner is unable to recognize the device as a 
destination drive.
Problem: The device did not display a prompt to choose the USB connection type.
Refer to your device’s user manual for the available USB connection options when you plug the device into a 
computer. 
Most devices have at least 3 USB options and they are usually to either “charge” the phone via the USB cable, “sync” 
the phone with the software on the computer, or mount it as a “disc drive” to transfer files to/from the phone. 
These are the same options you should see when you plug the USB cable into the scanner instead of to the 
computer. If you do not see the prompt, check your device’s USB connection settings and change it to be a disc 
drive if that option is not already selected.
The phone may have an option to always choose the previously selected USB connection and never prompt you to 
make the selection again. This may be why you are not getting a prompt to choose your connection type. 
Problem: The phone is connected as a disc drive but the LEDs never stop flashing.
•Solution 1: 
Check to see if you have a memory card installed on the phone (such as a mini-SD or micro-SD card).  
						

							Xerox Mobile Scanner
User’s Guide27 •Solution 2:
Some of the devices we tested did not work immediately when selecting the option to use it as a disc drive. If 
you run into this problem with your device, try the workaround steps listed below. If you find that this 
procedure works, it must be used each time you connect the scanner to the device:
1. Connect the device’s USB cable to the device.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the USB port in the back of the scanner.
3. Turn on the scanner.
4. Select the “disc drive” option on your device when prompted.
5. At this time the scanner LEDs just continuously flash.
6. Change the device’s USB connection type from the “disc drive” option to the “sync” option.
7. Immediately change the device’s USB connection type back to “disc drive”.
8. The device should now initialize its storage properly and the scanner LEDs should stop flashing.

Apple iPad
Important: you must have an iPad Camera Connection Kit from Apple to use the scanner with an iPad. The camera 
connection kit contains a USB adapter that plugs into the dock connector on the iPad. You need to attach the USB 
adapter to the iPad before proceeding with these instructions.
You can only scan using the JPG function, represented by the camera icon, when scanning to the iPad.
1. Insert a memory card into the memory card slot on the scanner.
2. Plug the small end of the scanner’s USB cable into the mini-USB port on the back of the scanner.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the tablet.
4. Turn on the scanner power. 
5. All of the LEDs will flash as the scanner initializes. When the scanner is ready to scan, a single LED will be lit next 
to the first function represented by a camera icon.
6. Make sure the camera function on the scanner is selected.

8. The scanner detects the page and starts to feed it through the scanner.
Note that there will be a short pause after you insert the page before the scanner starts to feed the page. This 
pause allows you to straighten the item in the paper feed slot.
9. When scanning is finished, the images show in the iPad gallery ready to be imported. Please follow your normal 
process for importing and viewing files in the iPad.
Please disconnect the scanner’s USB cable from the iPad after scanning and transferring images using the CCK.  
When the scanner is plugged in, but turned off, the scanner will attempt to charge the battery.  This is the expected 
behavior and will result in a message displaying on the iPad that the device is requiring too much power.

Other Mobile Devices
iPod and iPhone, Blackberry, and Windows Mobile Devices
The device you want to scan to must have external media installed (e.g. a mini-SD or micro-SD card), and the device 
must be able to be recognized as a disc drive when connected with a USB cable (i.e. assigned a drive letter in 
Windows Explorer or detected as a removeable disc drive in Mac Finder). 
Because of these requirements, the scanner cannot connect and scan directly to an iPhone or iPod using a USB 
cable at this time. Some BlackBerry and Windows based mobile devices may have similar limitations. For example, 
we connected and successfully scanned to the BlackBerry Curve 8530, but we were unable to connect and scan to 
the BlackBerry Curve 9300. If you have a BlackBerry or Wndows mobile device, you can try following the directions 
in Android® Devices (Smartphones and Tablets) on page 25 to see if you can connect your scanner and scan.
