It is designed to help customers understand the capabilities and specifications of the Xerox DocuMate 4799 and DocuMate 4790 prior to making a buying decision.

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.
