DocuMate 250 Scanner Installation Guide 49
Maintenance
Problem: I got the error message: PaperPort cannot 
allocate enough memory to perform internal critical 
operations. What do I do? 
Close any other active applications so that additional memory is 
available. If you click Continue, PaperPort moves the file to the 
PaperPort data directory and renames the file with the prefix “bad”. 
This allows you to recover the file later.
To recover the file, you can import it into PaperPort by using the 
Import command in the File menu.
Problem: How do I uninstall PaperPort? 
See the next section. Uninstalling does not delete your scanned 
items, and they remain in the PaperPort Data folder.
Problem: What do the different status light 
conditions mean?
The status light indicates the current state of the scanner. 
Descriptions of the most common patterns are listed below. 
Contact Xerox Technical Support if you experience a different 
blinking pattern.
• Blinking green: indicates the scanner is waking up from power 
saving and preparing to scan.
• Steady green: indicates the scanner is ready to scan.
• Blinking red, 1 long + 13 short blinks: indicates the scanner 
cover is open.
