Understanding your software
Your All-In-One software consists of three main components:

•The Lexmark X74-X75 All-In-One Center (scanning, copying, and

maintenance, and cartridge ordering information)
While each component has a distinct function, they all work together to
optimize the performance of your All-In-One.

screen is displayed.
