SOURCE: Xerox Documate 152 - Scan quality is now V.BAD!
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
Solution 2 - Clean and Calibrate the scanner
Note: Calibration only applies to sheetfed scanners.

Solution 3 - Reinstall the scanner driver Select a link below for instructions on reinstalling your scanner driver:

Hello.
I am a Support Engineer with Xerox Scanners.
I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your scanner. The problem is either the scanner, power supply, or outlet. I know that probably sounds exceedingly obvious, but I would recommend checking each individually.
If the power brick has been plugged in for a while, see if it is warm. If the brick is cold to the touch, it may not be functioning or the outlet it is connected to may be no good. Try turning the scanner on using the power outlet in another room (on an outlet that you know works).
If it still won't turn on, then you have eliminated the outlet from being the problem, and you can focus on the hardware. That leaves us with the scanner or the power supply. If the power brick was cold, and you know that both outlets work, I would recommend getting a replacement power supply. If it was warm, the scanner is more likely at fault and should be replaced.
In either of the last 2 situations, if the scanner is in warranty, you can call us for a warranty replacement (of which ever part needs replacing). Otherwise, you can call us to discuss your replacement options.
Replacement power supplies can be ordered online here.
