Do you have the appropriate drivers installed? http://support.lexmark.com/index?page=recommendedDownloads&locale=EN&productCode=LEXMARK_X2470&segment=DOWNLOAD&userlocale=EN_US#1 has the drivers for supported OS versions. Uninstall any generic driver and disconnect the data cable before installing the Lexmark software if using the USB cable. Are you starting the scan from the computer or the scanner? (Is the monitoring program running on the computer to hear the buttons?) Try launching a scan from the computer.

Try a new USB cable and a direct connection if you use a USB hub or print server. Scanning requires two-way communication so a bad cable will block scans even when the printer works.

Some scanners have a transportation lock; make sure that it is unlocked. (Usually located near the hinge of the scanner cover).

I hope this helps.

Not sure what kind of scanner you have, but on my Lexmark, I have to push the scan button on the printer to scan. It then downloads the application list to the scanner, and scans. After it scans, then the Lexmark Imaging Studio (the downloaded program on the computer) comes up on the computer screen, and received the scan. Not knowing what kind of scanner you have, I can only explain in generalities. Good luck, and hope this helps.

On this model there is a SCAN in black and white or color buttons but you need to have something on the glass to scan. Once it scans it prints!!!

Now lexmark software if installed comes with a program to scan with. you need to check under your prgrams folder under lexmark for the scanning software that was installed with the print driver.

If you open the lid and you do not see the white light chances are your scanner has and needs a bulb inside and at the point to install one of these you might want to concider a new printer.

Please be considerate and leave your feedback and comments and ratings before you leave, Thanks
