Using the ScanBack utility

Using the ScanBack Utility

You can use the Lexmark ScanBackTM Utility instead of the Embedded Web Server to create Scan to PC profiles. The ScanBack Utility is on the Software and Documentation CD.

  1. Set up your Scan to PC profile.

    1. Launch the ScanBack Utility.

    2. Select the printer you want to use.

      If no printers are listed, then see your system support person to obtain a list, or click the Setup button to manually search for an IP address or hostname.

    3. Follow the instructions on the screens to define the type of document being scanned and what kind of output you want to create.

    4. Make sure to select:

      • Show MFP Instructions—if you want to view or print the final directions

      • Create Shortcut—if you want to save this group of settings to use again

    5. Click Finish.

      A dialog box appears with your scan profile information and the status of the received images.

  2. Scan your original documents.

    1. Locate the printer you specified in the scan profile.

    2. Load all pages in the ADF or on the scanner glass.

    3. From the printer control panel, press Scan/Email.

    4. Press the arrow buttons until Profiles appears, and then press select button.

    5. Press the arrow buttons until your scan profile name appears, and then press select button.

    6. Press black only start button or color start button to send the scanned image.

      Note: The scan settings determine if the image is sent in black or color. Pressing the black or color button does not change these settings.
    7. Return to your computer.

      Your output file is saved in a directory or launched in the application you specified.
