Scanner does not work. I have Lexmark x6170 All In One. My OS is Vista. The printer will print, copy, fax but ir does not scan when I hit the scan then start button.

You must have a CD.

Make sure the scanner is unlocked.

Try copying from ADF and scanner glass.

I have the same printer, Windows Vista, and also only use the device drivers, but do not experience the problem you are having. The only problem I have with it is that scanning using MS Office 2007 times out before the image can completely transfer. So uninstalling your existing drivers and then reinstalling may do the trick.

If you still wish to install the All-In-One Center software, Lexmark will only provide the device drivers, as you have discovered. However, there are reports that the Lexmark X6100 series AIO (All-In-One) is identical to the Dell A960 AIO. And, fortunately, Dell is kind enough to provide the similar All-In-One Center software.

Click here for the 32-bit Windows XP version. (just in case)
Click here for the 32-bit Windows Vista version.

Give it a try and please report back as to whether or not it worked for you.

You can get the drivers here, please choose the driver appropriate to your OS.

Hi,
The all in one solution software you used in XP doesn't work fully with Vista.

But you can still scan and copy by using Windows Photo Gallery.

1. Click on files tab at the top in Window Photo Gallery.
2. Click on import from camera or scanner.
3. Highlight your scanner icon (ie Lexmark X4270) then click import.
4. New scan window will popup, now you can preview or scan using this basic looking Vista utility.

Hope that helps.

not just the driver, you need to get the software fo rthe printer in order to fax and san. they are different function aside from print.

Received fax is unreadable or blurry
Please go through the checklist below to see if the suggested action(s) can resolve the issue.

* Make sure the copy function is working well.
* Print a Clean nozzle page from the Maintenance menu. If the printout has unexpected white or color horizontal streaks or missing portions, print the Clean nozzle page again. If you are still experiencing streaks or mission portions, you may need to replace your cartridge(s).
* The cartridges may need to be aligned.
* You may need to ask the sender to increase their fax quality.

Sent fax is unreadable or blurry.

1. If the receiving party indicates that the fax output is unreadable or blurry, you may want to try increasing the fax quality.
2. Check the scanner glass for excess amounts of smudges and/or fingerprints. If the scanner glass needs cleaning, moisten a clean, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the scanner glass. Make sure the scanner glass is dry before scanning the next document.

Try resetting you machines by turning off and unplug, reverse steps and try again. If no go, repost and we will try again. Cheers lilacgerry xxx

It will work only on Basic WIA drivers..(windows image acquisition) untill lexmark will make software, Its possible that they might not.
SCAN from WINDOWS Photo Gallery is possible...

Open windows photo gallery>Click File>Click Import from scanner>Import & thats it...
The scanned image will be saved on pc >My document/scans automatically & then later if u want to change the formats thats possible using 3rd part softwares
