4. Locate the "Image Send" section.  Select the radio button for "Mode Key".  Select "PC Scan" from the drop menu (located directly to the right).

5. Click the Submit button.


Downloading/Installing/configuring the Twain Scan (LAN) driver:

1. Download the driver from: http://lesolson.com/support/drivers-and-software/sharp/. Select the Model of Sharp > Microsoft > Windows Operating System (i.e. Windows XP, Windows 7, etc) > Select Twain Scan (LAN) for the driver type.

2. Double-click the application icon to initiate the installation.  "The installation of the SHARP software is complete" pop-up screen will appear when finished.
