Device monitor application problem

I have purchased the Lexmark X 4550 today. I have installed the program, but I have a problem with the scan mode. When I press scan mode the message on the control panel reads: Downloading application list, but after a minute the message reads: cannot retrieve application list.
Also on my c.p. screen I get the following message:
Device monitor application has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
I rang Adam on 1300 362 192 and tried to explain the problem. He was very helpful but it is difficult over the phone to get a clear picture.
Therefore I hope with this e-mail that you can give me some advice and feedback how to solve this problem
Adam provided me with a Job nr. 569208
I have the following installed:
Lexmark 3500-4500 series size 136.00 MB
Lexmark Fax solutions size 35.29 MB
Lexmark Toolbar size 5.46 MB

With regards Leonard Steynis


I have a Lexmark 4550 and have the exact same problem, when I select scan the "cannot retrieve Application list" appears after a minute or so and I also get the Device monitor message. I'm running XP have plenty of disk space an 1GB of memory. I have also uninstalled Lexmark and installed the latest software with no luck.

How do set up my lexmark pro901 to scan to my pc so that I can email the scans

Make sure the Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 printer driver is installed on your computer. If you have the install disc that came with your printer, just insert it to your computer hard driver and follow the instructions on your computer screen. You can also the download the printer driver from the Lexmark website at http://bit.ly/d3ftso. Select your operating system > download > execute the file. Again, just follow the instructions on your computer screen.
Note: The install disc contains the Lexmark OCR scan software necessary for scanning documents for editing and saving them as PDF files. The downloaded driver does not contain the OCR software.
To scan to your computer using the printer operator panel:

1. From the home screen, navigate to Scan to Computer: Scan > Scan to Computer

2. Touch USB-Connected Computer or the name of a network computer. The local or network computer is the destination that will receive the scan. Wait until the printer has finished downloading a list of the scan applications available on the selected computer.

3. Select an application (in your case your email), and then touch Accept.

4. Select the color, resolution quality and the original image size. If necessary, touch Accept each time you make a selection.

5. Press the start button to start scanning. The scan is complete when the application you selected in step 4 opens on the destination computer, and the scan appears within the application as a new file.

To scan to your computer using the printer software (Lexmark Printer Home):

For Windows:


1. Click Start.

2. Click All Programs or Programs, and then select the printer program folder from the list.

3. Select Printer Home.

4. Choose your printer from the printer drop-down list.

5. Click Email, and then select Photo, Document or PDF.

Note: You can select Document only if an OCR application is stored on your computer. Scanning starts and the scan progress dialog appears.

6. When the scan is finished, a new e-mail message is created with the scanned document automatically attached.

7. Compose your e-mail message. Note: If your e-mail program does not open automatically, then you can scan the document to the computer and then send it through e-mail as an attachment.


For Mac:


1. From the Finder desktop, double-click the printer program folder.

2. Double-click the printer Center to open the All-In-One Center.

3. From the "What is being scanned?" menu on the main screen, select a document type.

4. From the "How will the scanned image be used?" menu, choose To be viewed on monitor/web page.

5. From the "Send scanned image to" menu, choose an application.

6. Click Scan.

7. Retrieve the scanned image from the application, and then send it through e-mail as an attachment.



I hope this information has been helpful.

My Lexmark 4550 will not sacn wirelessly, how do I

Hello. Try to run the installation cd in your computer again. If you haven't tried to uninstall the software from your computer, the cd should give you three options: Install a Printer, Repair/Update and Install Additional Softwares. Choose Repair/Update and just let it run and finish the installation. Also, make sure to allow all Lexmark and printer communications in your firewall. Try to scan wirelessly again. If problem needs further troubleshooting, I advise you to call Lexmark.

Device monitor application problem

Make sure that the Lexmark Imaging Studio program is running. This was installed when you set up your printer.
If you see the multi-colored icon in your task bar for Lexmark Imaging Studio then try pressing the scan mode button twice. You should be able to scan then.
