Help with connections

Hello,

When you press the "scan" button on the lexmark, the scanner is trying to connect to a specific software program that in this case you may not have installed.

You will want to try to test the scanner driver directly.
For windows XP and Vista, try the following.

1. Open your start menu
2. Select Control Panel
3. Select "scanners and cameras"
NOTE: for windows Vista, make sure you are in "classic view" to see scanners and cameras.
4. Check whether there is the lexmark listed in this window.

For windows 7, you will need to do something a little different.

1. Open your start menu
2. go to All programs
3. Open "windows Fax and scan"
4. Click on "new scan".
5. Check whether there is the lexmark listed in this window.

If there is no lexmark, you need to check the lexmark website for drivers. If the lexmark is there, try double clicking the icon to run the scan wizard.

Thanks,

Pat

hello there, Try Connecting the Lexmark All-in-One directly to the phone port...but make sure that Do NOT connect any phones to the EXT port.
Make sure the Fax receive mode is set to answer the fax after 3 rings. (Press the Fax button on the operator panel and then press Options three times until ANSWER FAX WHEN is displayed. Change the settings using the - or + buttons as appropriate.)
If this does not work then do get back for any further help.
Thanks

There is no Fax built in to the Lexmark X3500-X4500 printer. You can use the Lexmark Imaging Studio software to scan documents and send them with fax.
See page 68 of the 3500-4500 Series User's Guide.
1 Load an original document facedown on the scanner glass.
2 From the desktop, double-click the Lexmark Imaging Studio icon.
3 From the left pane of the Welcome screen, click Fax.
4 Select the Document option.
5 Click Start.

I don't see that the Lexmark X3430 functions as a fax machine. It is a combination Printer, Scanner and Copier. If you would like to send faxes, you would need to scan the document using this device and then fax it by way of a separate fax modem installed on your computer, which would need to be plugged into your phone line.

If this is not the right model number, let me know and I'll take a look.

You will need to uninstall and reinstall the printer driver again, since the driver installation seems to be incomplete. Please follow the steps given below:

To uninstall, please follow the steps given below:

5. Click on "Finish."
6. Click on "Restart Windows" and unplug the USB cable.
You may copy and paste the web address below to access the Lexmark X2350 Vista driver to install:

Note: Please plug the USB cable when prompted while installing the driver. The USB cable should still be removed from the system, and the on-screen prompts will remind you of this. Eventually, you will get to a screen asking you to plug in the USB cable. This screen also has an "OK" button. Do not hit this button yet. First, plug in the USB cable. The screen should automatically detect and install the Lexmark X2350 scanner and printer drivers.

Is the scanner driver installed ?. You can check this by unplugging the USB cable from the back of the printer and connecting it again. If you get any Plug and Play prompts on the computer, install the driver by pointing it to the correct scan driver location.

Possible, your printer has worked out whole its resource. Even though his(its) repair technically possible, he will be expensive. Your warranty service was expiredabout 3 years. Think about buying new. Good luck.
I have bought itself from Epson.

Too lengthy to resolve here, but goto lexmark.com to get "Fax cofiguration" info, I believe a phone line must be attached to printer in order to function as a "fax".
