Close all the programs that are running and restart your computer. also turn off the scanner and disconnect it from the PC and power. plug it back after 5mins, reboot your computer, start the scanner program and reconnect the scanner. try to scan again. if it fails, disconnect the scanner and unistall the driver, there might be a conflict somewere. reboot your computer and reinstall the software then connect the scanner and try to scan again.

You can actually scan directly to an application(ex. MS Word application). Also, make sure the Lexmark OCR scan software is installed on your computer (the software is available on the install disc that came with your printer).
1. Load an original document into the ADF or on the scanner glass.
2. Press Scan Mode.
3. Press ? or ? repeatedly until the MS Word application is highlighted.
4. Press check button.
5. Press Start Color or Start Black to start scanning.

In the software or function selections there should be a reset to factory settings. That worked for my scanner. Also, if that does not work try callig the manufactorer for technical help.
The Lexmark OCR scan software is available in the installation disk that came with the printer. You can explore the installation disk and look for the Abby setup application in the OCR folder (for Windows). For Mac OS, right-click on the Install icon and choose Show Package Contents. Open Contents folder > open Package folder and manually install the Abby Finereader application.
However, if you don't have the installation disk, contact Lexmark technical support. Thanks.
