A quick fix for most communication errors can be achieved by resetting the printer and/or rebooting the PC. Disconnect your printer from your computer. Reboot your computer. Unplug and re-plug the printer into the power source to reset it. When the printer turns on, reconnect it to your computer. Try to scan again. Also, make sure the Lexmark OCR scan software is installed on your computer. The scan software is available on the installation disc that came with your printer.

My Lexmark X6170 scans but the scanned document is not clear or visible , the words are very light .
You could try to increase the Scan Resolution to improve scan quality using the Lexmark All-In-One Center application on your computer.
  1. Go to Start menu > Programs or All Programs > Lexmark 6100 Series > Lexmark All-In-One Center.
  2. Click Scan menu.
  3. Click See more scan settings.
  4. From the scan resolution dropdown, select a higher resolution value. 300 dpi is the default setting. Note: Increasing the resolution value also increase the scan file size.
  5. Try to scan again.

I have a lexmark X6170. Running Windows XP. Recently installed Micorsoft Office 2007. When I double click on the desk top icon or choose to open the program through all programs, the all in one...
To scan, you probably have to use Microsoft Fax and Scan program. It works just fine with the X6170 ... it just took me all afternoon to figure that out.

If this helps you, please come back and vote Yes so that I know I helped someone. Thanks!!

Hi, I downloaded the software for Lexmark X6170, but the scanner does not work. a) is a download available, b) what are the steps to download the windows scanner thanks
If you're using Windows 7 (and perhaps XP), you have to use Microsoft Fax and Scan program. It works just fine with the X6170 ... it just took me all afternoon to figure that out. It has to do with 32 vs 64 bit issue.

If this helps you, please come back and vote Yes so that I know I helped someone. Thanks!!

Cant copy or scan in my All in One Lexmark X6170.
You must have a CD.

Make sure the scanner is unlocked.

Try copying from ADF and scanner glass.

Scanner does not work. I have Lexmark x6170 All In One. My OS is Vista. The printer will print, copy, fax but ir does not scan when I hit the scan then start button.
The Vista drivers available on the Lexmark website do not contain the All-In-One Center. They are minimum drivers. Although the scan drivers are shipped with the web package, they cannot be used by the All-In-One Center since it is not included. Please use Windows Scanners and Cameras or Photo Gallery for Scanning.
