2. Touch the Status tab, touch Network status, scroll down on the right to view and make note of the machine’s IPv4 address. 
3. At your computer, open a web browser and search Google for Create a Gmail Account and click the link as shown below. 
4. Click Create an Account
5. Fill in the Account details with a username and password of your choosing. This account is strictly for scanning purposes and does not need to be tied to any person in general. The username here will be utilized later, make sure to make note of it. Click Next. 
6. Enter a birthdate and a gender then click Next. After clicking next, on the following page scroll down and agree to the terms. 
7. On your new account’s home screen, click Count Me In to begin the 2-Factor Authentication activation. 
8. Click Get Started 
9. Enter the password you chose in step 5 to verify your identity, then click Next. 
10. Enter a mobile phone number to use for 2-Factor Authentication, leave the radio button on Text Message and click Next.

19. Open a new tab in your web browser. Type in the IPv4 address you gathered in step 2 (only the numbers and periods) to open the Sharp device web interface. Then click the Login button in the top-right. 
20. On the login screen, type the default administrator password of admin (if this password does not work it has been changed, consult your IT group) and click Login.

- Sender Address: the email address you chose in step 5

Thank you for posting this. My company just had this issue occur yesterday and your instructions were so clear and concise I was able to get us up and scanning immediately.
Thank you about a million times-I would never have figured it out on my own!! Just wondering how you did; wow. It was flawless. We have an older MX 2640N. I just thought I should set up email forwarding but I didn’t need to do that.
