How to fix Xerox DocuMate 6480 that won't scan?
- JJonathan GibbsAug 19, 2025
If your Xerox Scanner isn't scanning, here are a few things to try: * First, check the cable connections to ensure they are securely plugged in. * Then, verify the scanner's power is on. If the status light is off, try a different electrical outlet, avoiding UPS battery backups or power strips. * If there was a paper jam or connection error, restart your computer and power cycle the scanner. * Plug the scanner's USB cable directly into the back of the computer. The USB cable should be 6’ or less. * Finally, ensure that your Xerox[®] DocuMate[®] 6460 / 6480 is selected as the scanner.
