Replacing the Feed Roller
The roller will wear out and is designed to be a user-replaceable part. A worn roller can cause 
documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. Before 
replacing the roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and 
smooth. You cannot properly diagnose a worn roller until you have cleaned it. You should generally 
replace the roller every 160,000 to 200,000 scans.
Replacement parts can be purchased from the Parts & Accessories page for your scanner at 
www.xeroxscanners.com
.
The feed roller module is located in the body of the scanner. You will need a flat head and a 
Phillips head screw driver to replace the feed roller. 
1. Open the scanner.
2. Using a Phillips head screw driver, remove the screws holding the roller cover in place.
Set the screws aside, you will need them to reattach the roller cover.
WARNING: these parts are small and pose a choking hazard.

Troubleshooting
Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong? 
Check for one of these possible causes:
•Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable connections. Make sure 
the cables are plugged in securely.
•Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the status light doesn’t 
come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet. If you are using a UPS battery 
back-up or power strip, try plugging the scanner directly to a wall outlet.
•Did you restart the computer and scanner? If the scanner gets a paper jam, or looses 
connection because of an error, try restarting your computer and power cycling the scanner.
•Did you plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you’re using a USB hub to connect the scanner 
try plugging the scanner’s USB cable directly to the back of the computer. It is not 
recommended that you use the scanner with a USB hub, if you are using a hub, the hub must 
have its own power supply.
•Is the USB cable 6’ or less? If you are using a USB cable that is longer than 6’ you may lose 
connection to the scanner. The recommended USB cable length is 6’ or less, the USB cable 
provided with your scanner is within this range.
•Did you select another image source in the scanning software? If you use multiple 
imaging devices with your computer, such as a camera, all-in-one printer, or another scanner, 
you may have selected another source for images. Make sure Xerox
® DocuMate® 4760 is 
selected as the scanner.
Problem: Why does my scanner not function after performing a system restore on Windows?
The system restore process may have corrupted some of the driver components. It is 
recommended that you reinstall your scanner driver. Please refer to “Uninstalling Your Scanner” on 
page 45 for installation instructions.
Problem: Why won’t my scanner buttons work after scanning with Windows Image Acquisition 
(WIA)?
After performing a scan using the WIA interface you must close the application you were using 
before scanning with the buttons on the scanner. This does not occur when scanning using the 
TWAIN or ISIS interface.
Problem: Why won’t my scanner work after the computer has been sitting idle for several hours?
To resolve the problem, simply turn off the scanner power then turn it back on again.
This may occur after Windows goes into power saving mode to “hibernate” the computer into a 
low power state. When you move your mouse or type on the keyboard it “wakes” the computer 
back up and restores full power to the system. This power fluctuation during the computer’s 
hibernating period may sometimes cause the scanner to lose communication to the computer.

Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. If installation finishes, the scanner’s 
OneTouch options do not seem to work properly.
A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your computer for another 
scanner. They may be interfering with the installation and OneTouch options, and you need to 
remove those other drivers and re-install your Xerox
® scanner. You can remove these programs 
from the Windows Control Panel. Please refer to the user manual provided with your other scanner 
hardware for instructions about removing the driver and software for that unit.
Problem: My computer keeps giving me out of hard drive space error messages.
The minimum requirement of free hard drive space is for the installation of the scanner driver and 
basic, low resolution, scanning. High resolution scans result in files that can be over 1 gigabyte in 
size. Free up some space on your hard drive for the software to be able to save the scanned 
images.
Problem: The paper jams the ADF. 
To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, and 
adjust the guides to the paper size. Paper fed into the ADF at an angle can cause the feed 
mechanism to jam. If paper jams are occurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft 
cloth dampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller can make it appear 
worn and will cause issues feeding paper. See “Cleaning Inside the Automatic Document Feeder” 
on page 33 for cleaning instructions. 
Problem: The ADF won’t feed pages properly. 
A dirty or worn roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed 
at the same time. First, try cleaning the rollers as described in “Cleaning Inside the Automatic 
Document Feeder” on page 33. If the problem persists, the separation and/or feed rollers may 
need to be replaced. Please see “Replacing the Separation Roller” on page 34 and “Replacing the 
Feed Roller” on page 37.
Problem: If the USB cable is disconnected during a scan, the scanner does not reconnect when 
the USB cable is plugged back in.
Unplug the power cable from the scanner, and then plug it back in.
If the scanner does not reconnect:
1. Unplug the power cable from the scanner.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After the restart is complete, plug the power cable back in.
Problem: The scanner reports a Double Feed error when there is only one page in the scanner.
Try cleaning the double feed detection sensor. Dust on the sensor may prevent the sensor from 
working properly.

Error Codes
The status light indicates the current state of the scanner. If your scanner experiences hardware 
problems, the status light turns red and will flash a specific number of times, pause, and then 
repeat the same number of flashes. The number of flashes between pauses indicates the 
hardware error code. The LED display will also flash an “E” then the error code number that 
matches the status light’s blinking pattern.
Descriptions of the most common patterns are listed below. In all cases, you should turn off the 
scanner and check the scanner setup. Make sure the USB cable is plugged into the scanner and 
computer. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the scanner and into a wall outlet. Contact 
Xerox Technical Support if you experience a different blinking pattern.
