Lexmark 8300 print/scan/fax

To scan pages in color, open Lexmark Printer Home > Advanced Scan. If you're still having problem with the print, please contact us at http://bit.ly/boldchat or [email protected] .

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.

Here is the site for your drivers.

The printe will not scan or print. When I fax documents it is recieved witha balck shadow in teh background. I get error 2200 when I try to print or scan.

make sure glass is totally clean and pad is clean, also could be an issue with your scanner bulb

This print defect can be caused by a foreign object or substance on the outside of the scanner assembly, usually located on the plastic cover that the paper passes over.

Lexmark sent me a new black ink. That fixed the printing problem. the one I purchased was dryed up.

If the scanner is clicking than it is a scanner issue. Make sure there is not a lock button on the machine. They sometimes have these for when the printer is being moved. As for the faxing software it would seem that that part didn't not get installed so if you can update it.

i have read the manual end to end and I don't think you can.
Only thing I see is this.
