What to do if the Xerox DocuMate 3220 Scanner won’t scan?

If your Xerox Scanner won't scan, begin by inspecting the cable connections to ensure they are secure. 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 USB hub to connect the scanner try plugging the scanner’s USB cable directly to the back of the computer. If the scanner gets a paper jam, or looses connection because of an error, try restarting your computer and power cycling the scanner. The recommended USB cable length is 6’ or less, the USB cable provided with your scanner is within this range. Also, verify that Xerox[®] DocuMate[®] 3220 is selected as the scanner in your scanning software.
