MakeReady®Application
The purpose of this document is to assist in the installation/
upgrade/set-up of Xerox®DocuMate®scanners (models
DM4700/DM4790/DM4799/DM6710) and their associated
drivers/software for correct functionality with Xerox®
FreeFlow MakeReady®software.
The following topics will be covered:
1. Configuring Xerox®FreeFlow MakeReady®software for use with
TWAIN™ drivers
2. Installing the latest Visioneer®DriverPLUS drivers and Visioneer
Acuity Image Processing software
3. Configuring scanners in ‘Combo’ mode (A3 flatbed and A3 ADF)
4. Brief overview of key settings
Important:
Before starting any of the following tasks, ensure you are logged
into Windows as a Local Administrator. Attempting these tasks
as anything else can lead to unpredictable consequences and
unfavorable results.

1. Configuring FreeFlow MakeReady
i) To ensure the installation and testing goes smoothly, you are
required to check the following registry entry is set correctly.
a) Close the FreeFlow MakeReady application
b) Open the Registry Editor (Start>Run>regedit>’Enter’)
c) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Xerox\
Documents On Demand\CurrentVersion\Installation
(See screenshot above)
d) Open ‘ScannerSelection’ for editing, and set for ‘0’. Click ‘OK’
e) Close the Registry Editor
ii) FreeFlow MakeReady should now be ready to use with your TWAIN
scanner driver.
2. Driver Installation
i) Before any installation/upgrade begins, ensure that you have
the latest drivers for the scanner(s) you will be installing. These
can be found at www.xeroxscanners.com. You will need both the
DriverPLUS driver and the Acuity installer packages for all scanners
being installed. (See below)
ii) When carrying out a driver upgrade, before proceeding ensure that
the scanner(s) are powered off or disconnected from the PC, and all
currently installed drivers and/or software related to the scanner(s)
are uninstalled completely using the Windows Control Panel installed
programs removal option.
iii) The drivers and software should be installed in the following order.
Deviation from this could cause undesirable results and/or non-
functionality of the scanner drivers with FreeFlow MakeReady. If no
flatbed scanner is being used, ignore a) & b), and just install the ADF
scanner packages.
a) A3 flatbed scanner (DM4700) driver msi package
b) A3 flatbed scanner (DM4700) Acuity msi package
c) A3 ADF scanner (DM4790, DM4799 or DM6710) driver
msi package
d) A3 ADF scanner (DM4790, DM4799 or DM6710) Acuity
msi package
iv) When prompted during the installation process, connect the scan-
ner to the PC and power on. It is strongly advisable to connect the USB
cable(s) directly to the back of the PC, and not use the front USB ports
or an external USB hub, as this can cause communication issues.
v) When using a flatbed scanner (DM4700), they have the function-
ality to allow the ADF scanner (DM4790, DM4799 or DM6710) to
connect directly into the back of the scanner, creating a ‘daisy chain’.
This option is useful when there are a limited number of available USB
ports on the back of the PC, but can increase image transfer times.
vi) After all drivers and software have been successfully installed, open
FreeFlow MakeReady, and go to ‘File>Select Scanner Data Source’.
A window will open showing the available scanner sources.
Note:
When installing more than one type of scanner,
do not attempt to use older non-DriverPLUS drivers
with DriverPLUS drivers.

vii) Select each scanner in turn to verify the installation was
successful by scanning a test page.
Do not select a scanner source with ‘WIA’ in the listed name.
Results will be less than desirable due to a limited feature set,
and are untested in this environment.
viii) During the test phase, when the ‘Scan’ button has been clicked,
the Driver UI will be displayed. First, set driver to ‘Advanced’
(Dropdown 1), and then navigate to the following tabs (shown below)
for your installed scanner(s).
ix) Locate the ‘Color Correction’ drop-down. There are two choices
available:
“Monitor” uses Gamma tables optimized for LCD display and should
be used for image archiving.
“Printer” uses Gamma tables optimized for reproduction and
recommended for use with FreeFlow MakeReady in a production
print environment.
x) Select the Color Correction best suited to your work environment,
and click ‘Save’.
Note:
If using flatbed and ADF scanners, it is advisable to
set the Color Correction the same for both.
xi) Once testing has been concluded, and your scanners are working
as expected, you can either combine the scanners as shown in the
next section, or move directly to the last section.
3. Combining Scanner Drivers
i) This can only be achieved after completing section ‘2. Driver
Installation’. If you are not using a flatbed scanner, or wish to keep
the scanners drivers separate then this section can be skipped.
ii) Depending on your Operating System, navigate to the
corresponding hardware device page in the Windows Control Panel.
For Windows XP and Windows Vista
Navigate to
“Scanners and Cameras”
window
Right-click on the flatbed
scanner, and select
‘Properties’
For Windows 8 and Windows 7
Navigate to “Devices and
Printers” window
Right-click on the flatbed
scanner, and select ‘Scan
Properties’

iii) From the following window, select ‘Application Settings’ tab.
iv) From the drop down box, select your installed ADF scanner.
Click ‘OK’
v) A pop-up will appear asking to power cycle the scanner. After
doing so and the scanner is ready, click ‘OK’. Close all remaining open
windows.
vi) Open FreeFlow MakeReady, go to ‘File>Select Scanner Data Source’.
A window will open showing the available scanner sources.
(See Section 2. vi) Select the flatbed scanner you have installed
(DM4700).
vii) Initiate a scan. The driver UI will appear.
Note:
The combined driver’s settings are applied to either
scanner when called by FreeFlow MakeReady. The
subtleties of this are covered in the next section.
4. Driver Settings Overview
This section shows where in the driver UI the key features can be
enabled/disabled, and how to set default presets in the driver.
i) To enable access to the advanced features, first select
‘Advanced’ from the drop-down menu. ‘Basic’ is the default.
ii) When using the ‘Combo’ mode, it is advisable to enable both ‘Auto
source’ and ‘ADF’. This means that when you click ‘Scan’ in the UI, if
there are no documents in the ADF, the flatbed will automatically
scan, and vice-versa.
iii) To change the scan mode from Black & White to Color, use the
dropdown as shown below. To enable your selection, place a check
mark in the relevant box. (Advanced view shown below)
iv) The next few images show where in the driver UI key features can
be found and a brief summary. For more detailed information, please
refer to the manual on the scanner’s DVD, or click the ‘Help’ button.
Also, there are tooltips which display when hovering your mouse
pointer over the item in question. It should also be noted that not all
features are available in all scan modes (Color/B&W/etc.)
