If you want to use the original software, 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,
Click here:Official Lexmark Drivers and Software

A web page will open, follow instructions, select model, select operative system etc., and click on download .

Alternatively you can use free OCR software, check links below, try a couple of programs, and keep the best free one:

The lexmark x2650 doesn't have the OCR software in it. I try to scan a document and edit it but can't because no OCR software included

To install the OCR scan software from the printer installation CD:

Cant install printer without disk

Here ya go. Just choose your operating system. Be sure to unplug the printer from the USB, and only plug it in once the on-screen instructions tell you to plug it in.
