Dont know hw tp get started with lexmark printer
First, I'm assuming you are using some flavor of windows, but if not this may not be completely accurate. I'm also going to use windows XP in any directions I give, but if you are using Vista, it will be pretty close.
There are a few ways to do scanning. If you have a favorite graphics application like photoshop or paint shop pro, you can scan directly into these apps using the "Acquire" option. This is usually done by going to File->Acquire in the application, and then selecting your scanner.
The printer also probably came with a software suite for scanning as well. If you go to Start->All Programs->Lexmark 5400 Series, you should see something along the lines of All in One Center (may be slightly differently named, but it's in this folder). Once you find this application, it should be pretty easy to scan.
As a third option, if you don't have a graphics application, I like to use Paint.net, which is a free piece of software you can find at
http://www.getpaint.net/
Once you download, install it, and get it started, to scan a picture go to :
File->Acquire, and select "From Scanner or Camera"
It should present you with a selection dialog where you should see your lexmark AIO. Select it and it will bring up the scan dialog, where you can select Color Picture, Black and White, etc.
It is a good idea to hit the preview button first and let it find your picture. Then hit the Scan button and it will scan!
Hope this is helpful
I found Nikon Service Dept to be extremely helpful. They suggested I try scanning a negative with the other adaptor - that worked - They gave me a site to download the software again plus an update, to no avail unfortunately. My problem was just with the slide scanning, suddenly started telling me no scanning items!
I eventually sent it to Nikon (£20 incl insurance) Their estimate is £26.51 (unless they find something else wrong!) They are going to Check, test & clean equipment, perform test scan, check & test to Nikon standard,Service/adjust scan and film stage mechanism, and dismantle, clean & service optical system. I am especially impressed with their service (& telephone help) as my scanner was second hand.
Hope yours is sorted soon.
