Instructions

1. Install the software application that comes included with the Lexmark CD. There are several helpful applications that will allow you to edit photos and create custom made flyers. Having these editing tools included with the installation CD will prevent you from purchasing additional software. If you need to retouch some of your favorite photos, then the included editing program will help to make your photos look their best. For special events, you can quickly create fancy flyers to distribute everywhere. Adding graphics, special fonts and colorful text will allow you to display your decorative personality.

2. Plug your brand new Lexmark all-in-one printer into your primary computer system using a USB cable. As soon as you do this, the Lexmark all in one printer will automatically recognize that there is a new device plugged in. The device drivers were included with the installation CD and have already been added to your computer system. In order to have your Lexmark all in one printer work fully, you should reboot your computer system to complete your entire installation process. Once your computer has been turned back on, the Lexmark all in one printer will be ready for almost any task you throw at it.

3. Send and receive faxes with your Lexmark all-in-one printer. There is a fax program included with your installation software. Instead of having to purchase a separate fax machine, you can access this same feature from your Lexmark all-in-one printer. Connect it to a standard phone line and start faxing away. Each time you receive a fax from someone, your Lexmark all-in-one printer will automatically print it for you to view. To begin faxing, you'll need to insert the papers into the document feeder area, press fax, and enter the number you would like it sent to. Within a few moments, the Lexmark all in one printer will begin sending the information.

4. Scan all of your important business receipts. This is a great way to convert all of your paper receipts into electronic format. Scanning these receipts will make it extremely convenient to locate a specific business purchase without searching through tons of paper. When tax season rolls around, your Lexmark all-in-one printer can be credited with organizing your finances. In order to get started, just place your documents on the scanner bed, put the cover down, press the scan button, and decide if you want it in color or black. After a few minutes, your document will be saved on your computer for later access.

5. Print photos with your Lexmark all-in-one printer. Your photos will be displayed in colorful detail and won't begin to fade as time goes on because of the fade resistant ink that is compatible with this device. Connect a USB digital camera to the printer or insert a memory card into one of the available slots on the front. As soon as you do this, a pop up window will display a folder with the included digital images for you to start printing. After selecting the photos to print, decide on the size you would like to print. When the pop up window appears with the printer settings, click the properties button to change the media type to glossy, premium, or matte. Select the appropriate paper layout by selecting letter size, postcard size, or even wallet sized.

6. Use the built-in wireless feature that comes with the Lexmark X6570 all-in-one printer. Instead of connecting it to your computer system with a USB cable, you can allow it to work on your wireless network. When you are ready to print something on the wireless connection, just simply click the print button and all available printers will be displayed in the printer window. Select the Lexmark all-in-one printer from the drop down window and then click the "OK" button to start printing.
