Error message after installation (I followed the manufacturer's
directions to the letter):
Preparing Lexmark all-in one center for first use.
Searching for scanning applications.
Please wait.
Fix:
1) Printer must be on and connected to computer. Put some test paper
in.
2) Go to:
ftp.lexmark.com
3) Using the File/List feature (so that you see these as a list rather
than as folders) choose:
8th file from top (driver)
left click
5th file from top (inkjet_drivers)
left click
first file (1100 series)
left click
Choose APPSEARCH
left click
CHOOSE PR39X1100.exe
Save this to desktop.
4) Close all windows.
5) Turn your virus protection off. If you do not, Norton will give you
a "malicious script" error:
malicious script detected
windows script host shell object
RegWrite
and halt the execution of the file. When it halts, the screen will say
that the update worked. You will find that it did not.
6) Left click and execute. This will do an update.
7) INSTALLING THE FAX SOFTWARE:
Here is the sequence:
Left click on Start button.
Left click on Programs.
Left click on Fax Tools
Left click on Fax Tools (icon)
A wizard appears.
When you have installed, ensure that you have the proper modem
selected.
8) Reboot.
Now your "all-in-one" should work. You should be able to scan either
through the screen program or by using the button on the printer. If
you press on the scan button on your printer, there will be a slight
delay before the procedure begins. A popup screen will appear on your
computer.
Remember, when you fax you have to have your computer on but not be
connected to the Internet. You also need to have a fax modem. Your
modem will need your dialup connection to send the fax.
OTHER TIPS
YOU CAN ALWAYS USE YOUR PHOTOSHOP PROGRAM TO WORK WITH YOUR
PRINTER/SCANNER. I DID THIS UNTIL I FIGURED OUT HOW TO GET THE
ALL-IN-ONE TO FUNCTION. I SHALL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO USE IT BECAUSE I
CAN FINE TUNE THE IMAGE WITH THIS PROGRAM.
DISCONNECT PRINTER BEFORE YOU UNINSTALL IT. UNINSTALL AND REBOOT.
CHECK YOUR SETTINGS FOR PRINTERS/FAXES TO MAKE SURE IT IS GONE.
IN WIN XP PRO, THE PRINTER APPEARS AS AN IMAGING DEVICE IN YOUR LIST.
This printer does not make excellent copies. The colour copies emerge
damp so there is slight wrinkling. Then again, this is a low-end
product and is fine for those of us who need only occasional prints.
