Problem Statement:

Using ShareScan, on the Fax Via SMTP connector form where the Fax number is inputted, External Keyboard data is ignored. The user must type the Fax number using the ShareScan soft keyboard number pad displayed. The External keyboard will be functional with other connectors or with other areas.

ShareScan 6.1 and 5.4: No hotfix required.  Follow the steps below.

ShareScan 5.2: Ensure Service Pack 2 or later cumulative release has been installed. Follow the steps below.
