Before You Begin

Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:

The information in this guide may cover software not provided with the scanner you purchased. Please disregard any information about the software not applicable to your scanner. Visit our web site at www.xeroxscanners.com for the latest software updates for your Xerox DocuMate 510 scanner.

If your computer has AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software running, you may encounter alerts or messages during installation asking you to allow the installation to proceed. Although the messages will differ based on the software your computer is running, in each case you should allow the installation to proceed if that option is available. Alternatively, you can turn off the AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software before installing your scanner, but if you do, make sure to turn it back on again when installation is finished.

If you already have a scanner connected to your computer, it is recommended that you remove that scanner’s driver program prior to installing your Xerox DocuMate 510 scanner. While in some cases you can configure your computer to have another manufacturer’s scanner operational on your computer in conjunction with the Xerox DocuMate 510 scanner, we do not recommend this configuration as you may lose some of the driver functionality on one, or both of the units. You can remove these programs from the Windows Add/Remove programs list. Please refer to the user manual provided with your other scanner hardware for instructions about removing the driver and software for that unit.

If your computer is running Windows Vista, you may see the Vista User Access Control screen asking you to confirm system changes. Click the Continue button to allow the installation to proceed.

510 specifications

The Xerox 510, a groundbreaking model introduced in the 1970s, played a significant role in the evolution of photocopying technology. As one of the early members of the Xerox family, the 510 was designed primarily for high-volume copying tasks, making it a staple in offices and businesses of the time.

One of the standout features of the Xerox 510 was its electrostatic dry copying process. This technology allowed for a more efficient and faster reproduction of documents compared to traditional methods. The introduction of the Xerox 510 marked a shift from the cumbersome and often messy wet copying processes to a cleaner and more reliable dry photocopying system.

The machine utilized a photoconductive drum, which was coated with a photosensitive material that enabled it to capture images effectively. When exposed to light from the original document, the drum would retain the charges, allowing toner to be applied precisely where it was needed. This resulted in high-quality copies that were sharp and clear, often surpassing the quality of earlier copying machines.

In terms of operational characteristics, the Xerox 510 was capable of producing multiple copies rapidly, boasting a production rate of around 20 pages per minute. This high-speed capability was crucial for businesses needing to duplicate documents quickly, helping to streamline productivity in an era where time management was becoming increasingly pivotal.

Additionally, the Xerox 510 featured a user-friendly interface that allowed operators to adjust settings for various document sizes and types. This flexibility meant that users could efficiently handle a wide range of copying tasks, from simple text documents to more complex layouts.

The versatility of the Xerox 510 was further enhanced through optional features such as automatic document feeders and duplexing capabilities, which enabled two-sided copying. These advancements made it easier for users to manage their copying needs without having to manually handle each page.

In conclusion, the Xerox 510 stands out as a cornerstone in the history of copying technology. With its innovative electrostatic dry copying process, high-speed output, and user-centric features, it set the stage for future developments in office equipment. The legacy of the Xerox 510 continues to influence modern copy technologies, showcasing the enduring impact of its design and functionality in the realm of document reproduction.
