				Preface   
					General Purpose and Audience   
					This document provides a comparative evaluation of the features and characteristics of the   
					Xerox® DocuMate® 4799 against a reference scanner selected by Xerox (FreeFlow® Scanner   
					665), and includes additional functional specifications and/or descriptions of the Xerox   
					DocuMate 4790 and DocuMate 4700 (refer to Section 1: Versatile Scanning Solution for Large   
					Documents) scanners. 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.   
					FreeFlow Makeready Scanner Support   
					For customers who require assistance selecting a suitable scanner to use with FreeFlow   
					Makeready® and/or are interested in purchasing scanning hardware directly from Xerox, Xerox   
					offers the DocuMate range of scanners.   
					As the newest additions to the Xerox DocuMate product range, the Xerox DocuMate 4799 and   
					DocuMate 4790 provide advanced document handling and image processing technology and   
					are designed for easy operation in a variety of environments with complex document scanning   
					requirements. The Xerox DocuMate 4799 also supports sRGB, making it color-space   
					compatible with the Xerox iGen digital press.

					1 Introduction   
					Since the initial introduction of the Xerox® DocuMate® product line, Visioneer has been   
					combining its leading scanner technology with the brand recognition of Xerox to deliver a   
					broad range of scanning solutions for workgroup and mid-volume production environments.   
					Xerox DocuMate high-performance business scanners and imaging software solutions offer   
					customers speed, image quality, advanced paper handling and ease-of-use with exclusive   
					Visioneer OneTouch® Technology.   
					Designed for mid-volume production environments, the Xerox DocuMate 4799 and DocuMate   
					4790 continue this tradition by delivering high-quality black and white and office-quality color   
					scanned documents to Xerox printing systems.   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4799 and DocuMate 4790 are integrated with FreeFlow Makeready®   
					via the TWAIN interface (TWAIN version 1.9 or above), which may be accessed directly from   
					the Makeready PC. TWAIN is a widely recognized standard that computers use to receive   
					images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices.   
					Xerox DocuMate 4799   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4799 delivers superior reliability and the most advanced functionality for   
					high-production environments. By employing three advanced sensor systems: ultrasonic   
					double feed detection, stapled document detection and intelligent feed control, this innovative   
					scanner ensures that documents of various sizes can be stacked together in the automatic   
					feed tray and will be processed at scan speeds up to 112 pages per minute.

					Documents   
					Xerox DocuMate 4700   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4700 is an 11.7" x 17" flatbed scanner with a built-in USB hub. The hub   
					enables the DocuMate 4700 to be connected directly to a PC and used as a stand-alone   
					flatbed scanner, or an Automatic Document Fed (ADF) scanner can be connected through its   
					USB port for added functionality.   
					When connected in tandem (‘daisy-chain’) with a Xerox DocuMate 4799 or DocuMate 4790,   
					the Xerox DocuMate 4700 provides the ability to scan delicate or oversized (up to   
					A3/11.7"x17") documents that would not otherwise be possible with the ADF alone. A “combo”   
					scanner driver supplied with the DocuMate 4700 provides the ability to automatically switch   
					between scanners to capture documents from either source without the need to manually   
					disconnect and reconnect devices.   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4700 has been designed specifically for departmental or production   
					scanning environments and may be a suitable option as a complement to the Xerox DocuMate   
					4799 and DocuMate 4790 for customers interested in undertaking a wider variety of scanning   
					tasks.

				3 Performance and   
					Image Quality   
					3 
					The following section includes both objective and subjective criteria, which is intended to   
					provide a comparative evaluation of the features and characteristics of the Xerox DocuMate   
					4799. The features and characteristics of this scanner, which serve as the test criteria, were   
					logically split into two groups: formalizable (e.g. performance), which can be expressed   
					numerically and non-formalizable (e.g. image quality), which represent general impressions.   
					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.   
					For the purpose of the evaluation, the tests were performed using the Xerox DocuMate 4799   
					and the Reference Scanner using a set of first generation copies of original test patterns/   
					images scanned directly to a PC running FreeFlow Makeready. The obtained scans were   
					captured independent of applying image enhancement software, which might otherwise   
					improve or enhance the appearance of the test patterns/images.   
					Note:   
					The following performance and image quality evaluation focuses on the Xerox DocuMate   
					4799 only. Customers interested in the Xerox DocuMate 4790 (or DocuMate 4700) should   
					evaluate the features and characteristics of this scanner to determine if it is a suitable solution   
					for their environment   
					Performance   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4799 (and DocuMate 4790), as well as the Reference Scanner, are   
					equipped with Duplex Automatic Document Feeders (ADF), allowing them to scan multi-page,   
					duplex (two-sided documents). The Xerox DocuMate 4799 achieves optimal throughput by   
					scanning both sides of a document simultaneously through the use of dual-image sensors   
					versus the Reference Scanner, which scans each side of a document independently using a   
					single image sensor. The Reference Scanner also incorporates a stationary glass surface   
					(flatbed) for scanning delicate or oversized (up to 12"x18") documents that cannot be   
					accommodated via the ADF.

				Performance and Image Quality   
					Xerox® DocuMate® 4799 and 4790   
					Other factors, such as the color depth and resolution (dpi – dots per inch) of the scanned   
					image, as well as the scanning interface itself, also contribute to the overall speed of the   
					scanner. The Reference Scanner was connected to the FreeFlow Makeready PC via an Ultra-   
					Wide SCSI interface, which provides the best performance especially for high volume scanning   
					operations (large data). The Xerox DocuMate 4799 utilizes a Hi-speed USB 2.0 interface, which   
					offers plug-and-play convenience and is more widely used in the industry today.   
					FreeFlow Makeready allows customers to scan black and white or color documents and save   
					them as RDO (Raster Document Object) or Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format) files.   
					Makeready provides two options for saving scanned documents as PDFs: a Xerox option and   
					an Acrobat (Distiller) option. Both options produce an Adobe PDF file, however, the resulting   
					file size may vary depending on the option selected and/or the scanner driver.

					Summary   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4799 achieves fast scanning speeds for duplex (two-sided) black and   
					white and grayscale documents as a result of the Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (ADF),   
					which supports simultaneous two-sided scanning— and speeds, on average (simplex/duplex),   
					which are comparable to the Reference Scanner for color documents for most scanning   
					applications.   
					While not as efficient at transferring large amounts of data as the SCSI interface on the   
					Reference Scanner, the Hi-speed USB 2.0 interface on the DocuMate 4799 is suitable for most   
					scanning applications, offers the added convenience of plug and play and does not require   
					adding a separate controller board to the PC.   
					Saving files to PDF using the Xerox option produces noticeable larger file sizes for grayscale   
					documents and is not recommended.   
					Image Quality   
					A variety of industry standard test patterns and images were used to objectively evaluate the   
					Xerox DocuMate 4799 and its ability to accurately capture (and reproduce) fine detail (text   
					and line art), or shades of gray and different colors (color depth). Both the Xerox DocuMate   
					4799 and the Reference Scanner support 24-bit color depth and are capable of assigning one   
					of 16.8 million values to a color. For scanning monochrome or grayscale images, the Xerox   
					DocuMate 4799 supports 8-bit grayscale (1-bit black and white) while the Reference Scanner   
					supports 1-bit black and white.

					Performance and Image Quality   
					Note   
					In order to simulate grayscale (8 bits per pixel), the Reference Scanner captures halftone   
					images at 1 bit per pixel (black and white) and renders them using halftone screening at   
					different frequencies (lpi – lines per inch) based on the content of the document (fine or course   
					halftone) versus the Xerox DocuMate 4799, which renders a grayscale image at 8 bits per   
					pixel. As a result, the Xerox DocuMate 4799 is capable of reproducing images that more   
					closely approximate the original document   
					The captured digital images were then compared to equivalent scans (digital images)   
					obtained from the Reference Scanner, which served as the baseline, or reference for   
					comparison. The results of this comparison have been documented below. All scans were   
					captured independent of applying image enhancement software, which might otherwise   
					improve or enhance the appearance of the images during or post-capture.

					Xerox® DocuMate® 4799 and 4790   
					Summary   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4799 is capable of reproducing color images suitable for most scanning   
					applications with acceptable results in comparison to the Reference Scanner. To achieve the   
					best results, Customers should ensure that they have the latest drivers, which can be   
					
					and Acuity Image Processing software.   
					The Xerox DocuMate 4799 achieves very good results for black and white (bi-tonal text and   
					line art), and acceptable results for grayscale scanning applications; producing captured   
					images that are, in some cases, comparable to the Reference Scanner. Black and white mode   
					should not be used to reproduce grayscale or color images.

					Support for the Xerox DocuMate range of scanners is provided directly by Visioneer. All   
					DocuMate scanners come with US-based, toll-free technical support by contacting Visioneer at   
					1(800) 648-0410. Warranties are valid in the U.S. and Canada. An online Knowledgebase for   
					
					Note   
					If you require training and/or support for FreeFlow Makeready, or the Makeready Scan and   
					Print application, contact your local Xerox Analyst for assistance. The scope of support   
					provided by Visioneer for the Xerox DocuMate scanners as part of the initial installation is   
					limited to installing the scanner and device drivers, and performing a test scan to validate   
					operability.   
					Service/Maintenance Kits   
					Over time, all scanners require occasional cleaning and maintenance in order to keep the   
					product in good working order. Visioneer offers maintenance kits that may be purchased to   
					maintain the scanner. Each kit contains cleaning supplies, as well as replacement rollers, and   
					pads.   
					Frequent paper jams are a symptom of a worn roller assembly. A worn roller can cause   
					documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. A worn   
					roller should be replaced to avoid damage to the scanner’s internal parts. Before replacing the   
					roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and smooth.   
					For questions regarding replacement parts or ordering information, refer to the scanner User’s   
					Guide or contact your local authorized Visioneer distributor.   
					FreeFlow Scanner Support   
					Comprehensive TWAIN support falls outside of the Xerox Field Service Maintenance   
					Agreement (FSMA). Issues found with FreeFlow Makeready and a supported Xerox DocuMate   
					scanner will only be addressed if they can be reproduced on a reference scanner available to   
					the Xerox Customer Support Center (XCSC).   
					In addition, the following limitations may apply when scanning from Makeready via a   
					supported Xerox DocuMate scanner and the TWAIN (version 1.9 or above) interface:   
					 
					 
					Image quality or performance-related problems are not supported   
					Optimization and targeting for a particular Xerox black and white or color printer is not   
					supported   
					 
					 
					The [Fit to output stock size] selection under [Reduce/Enlarge] in FreeFlow Makeready is   
					not supported   
					The input page size passed from the FreeFlow Makeready Scan and Print user interface   
					may not match Data Source capabilities and, thus, may not be effective. To choose an   
					exact input page size, customers should make a selection from the [Advance Scanning]   
					user interface   
					 
					The [Rotate] selection under [Image Orientation] in FreeFlow Makeready is not supported
