If you are scanning documents for editing or saving them as PDF, you will need to install the OCR scan software. The Lexmark OCR scan software is available only on the installation disc that came with your printer. If you lost the disc, please contact Lexmark Technical Support Center to request for one.
If your scanner was working before, it could be just a slight communication problem. A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Simply disconnect the printer from your computer (if USB connected)> reboot your pc > unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer (if USB connected). Then try to print again once the computer fully recognizes the USB connection or when the WiFi light on the printer turns solid green (if WiFi connected.).


If that doesn't help, try the steps below:

  1. Disconnect the USB cable connecting the printer from your computer.
  2. On your computer, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes.
  3. Delete the Lexmark print object.
  4. Reboot computer.
  5. Re-brick your printer by pulling out the power supply - black box where the power cord is plugged into on the back of the printer, and re-plug after 30 seconds.
  6. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to the computer.
  7. Wait until your computer fully recognizes the USB connection. To check, go to Control Panel > Printers and Faxes. If you see a new Lexmark print object in the list, try to scan a document again to verify that the problem is fixed.

    If you have a firewall enabled, you may want to allow all Lexmark print and scan process in the program rules or permission for your firewall.

SOURCE: Lexmark X5470 scanner problem

I have the same problem. I cannot scan in WiFi to this laptop but can with the USB cable. Even with the USB cable it says that it is downloading the application list and the "cannot retrieve application list."
I have Paperport Pro 11 software for scanning. I am able to use the interface with the USB.

delete the norton internet security as its blocking the scanner files of your printer software .or try reloading the printer drivers again but if reloading the printer drivers does not helps then removing the norton software is compulsary as the files of printer are getting blocked so scanner is not working.

SOURCE: X7675 Aio Wl USB Adf 32/27PPM Ocr Dir Prt Pbridg Dplx All-In-One Printer: My lexmark x7675 can not download scan application...

No solution here - just confirmation. Mine say that it (the scanner) cannot save files to my hard drive, that it is full. That's far from true, but to a dumb accessory a locked target folder/directory will look like a full disk. Does anyone know where Lexmark parks it's temporary files? I've looked in all the usual places on my Mac, and can't find anything yet. (I have previously found a Brother parks it's initial scans, before you save them, deep in a normally inaccessible corner of the System folder.)

OCR Software for Lexmark

You should be able to assign Abby FineReader 11 Pro as the OCR software in the Lexmark software (Lexmark Productivity Studio for Windows or All-in-One Center for the Mac OS). You will need this software though and to have the monitor running to "listen" for the scan button to be pressed. You will also need to ensure your firewall doesn't block communication if you connect the X6650 through the network.

In the Productivity Studio (launch Lexmark Home), click on the Settings tab and then the Scan Destinations option. Add Abby FineReader 11 Pro to the list of destinations. Click on that option and click on the Modify button to make sure that the Application button is set and is pointing to the correct program and correct file type. Then you can go back to the all-in-one and press the Scan button. Select Scan to Computer and then choose Refresh to update the list of destination programs.

I hope this helps. The steps may be slightly different in the Mac software.

I can't scan on my lexmark printer model x5650. When I scan a document it gives me the message " Install the OCR from the OCR folder". I can't find the OCR folder in my computer. What should I do".

The Lexmark OCR scan software is available in the installation disk that came with the printer. You can explore the installation disk and look for the Abby setup application in the OCR folder (for Windows). For Mac OS, right-click on the Install icon and choose Show Package Contents. Open Contents folder > open Package folder and manually install the Abby Finereader application.
However, if you don't have the installation disk, contact Lexmark technical support. Thanks.

Lexmark x6650 don't scan using windows 7

Did you upgrade the Lexmark driver for Windows 7?
If you already installed the lexmark driver for windows 7, chances are you have not upgraded the utilities software like scanner, fax, OCR
If that is the case, go to this link:
http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=recommendedDownloads&locale=en&productCode=LEXMARK_X6650&segment=DOWNLOAD&userlocale=EN_US#1
First of all, read about Upgrade to Windows 7. by clicking on the link at the top of the page and follow the procedure.
You have to uninstall the Driver first, then OCR, Fax, Toolbar etc separately

Then come back to the previous page, Choose your op system as Microsoft windows7 and download the recommended file and install
as per instructions

Hope this will work for you
Good luck

Lexmark does not distribute replacement install disk for all models.

Contact Lexmark here, to see if the disk for your printer is available.

If you do not have the disk you must download the software from Internet, follow instructions below,

Click here:Official Lexmark Drivers and Software

A web page will open, follow instructions, select model, select operative system etc., and click on download .
Chose to download the file in my documents when asked.
After downloading, find the file,double click on the file ,then if you get in troubles, follow the instructions below to reset and reinstall drivers:

  • Unplug printer USB.
  • Go to control panel >> installed printers in Windows and remove (delete ) any installed printer from printer list.
  • Download driver from website, or use the disk and run the install file.
  • Follow driver installation wizard.
  • Plug back printer when prompted from installation wizard.

OCR software is included on software and driver downloads.
