If you selected the recommended Full Install option (see page 11), then you have several different options to scan with your Xerox DocuMate 272 scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one with appropriate options for the item you are scanning.

NOTE: During installation, the One Touch 4.0 software searches your computer and links to all the applications (known as the Destination Applications) where it can send and open scanned documents. To make sure that all the Destination Applications are linked to One Touch 4.0, Xerox recommends that you refresh One Touch 4.0 before using your scanner for the first time. Please see “Check the Scan Settings Before Scanning” on page 25 for the steps to Refresh One Touch 4.0.
