I would go to Xerox.com and look up their knowledge base. Here is a copy of data from their site related to this problem:

Symptom: Scanned images have poor image quality, are fuzzy, unclear, or hard to read.
Cause: There are several things that can lead to poor image quality including the scan settings, dirt on the scanner, and driver problems. Solution: Note: If you scan as a PDF file and your scans look fuzzy when viewed in PaperPort, try right clicking on the file and selecting "Open" to open them in Adobe Reader. If they display fine in Adobe Reader then there is nothing wrong with the scans, it is simply that they are not being displayed well in PaperPort.

The following solutions can help resolve poor scan quality.

Solution 1 - Adjust the scan settings

Try increasing the resolution of your scan. 300 dpi to 400 dpi should be clear for most images

  • If you are scanning in Black and White, try Grayscale or Color. Some images will not display correctly in Black and White
  • You can also try adjusting the brightness and contrast
  • Note: For information on adjusting your scan settings, refer to the user guide for your scanner
Solution 2 - Clean and Calibrate the scanner

Note: Calibration only applies to sheetfed scanners.

Use the link below for instructions on cleaning and calibrating (if applicable) your scanner:
Solution 3 - Reinstall the scanner driver Select a link below for instructions on reinstalling your scanner driver:

Scans two pages and stops midway through the next page. This just started happening. I scan in bulk, archiving payables. I've tried restarting both my computer and the documate and problem still continues....

I've seen this issue happen when the wrong driver was being used. When you install the documate, it installs 2 drivers. The WIA driver (windows acquisition driver) and the TWAIN driver. Make sure that you are using the TWAIN driver.

My Documate 152 is saying paper jam but no paper jam

E08 error message which indicates papert jam is caused by lose or mis-alligned input paper tray (automatic document feeder).
Resolve issue by powering off the scanner, opening the paper path section, removing the adf, and then re-seating the adf.

Xerox ducuMate 152, password recently does not work

You could reset the device, that usually resets everything - the downfall is that you will have to re-configure everything.
  1. Right-click on the One Touch icon and choose Show Hardware from the pop-up menu.
  2. The Hardware Properties dialog box opens and shows information about your Xerox DocuMate 152 scanner.
  3. Click the Properties button.
  4. To return the scanner to its factory settings, click Reset Device.
  5. Click OK to save the changes and close the dialog box.
If this doesn't fix the problem please post a comment, I will do some more research into it.
