It took me a while to find the Windows 7 64-bit driver for the XE-A506, but apparently it is located under the XE-A406 version. Eventually, this one worked for me: but don't forget to run the program as administrator (properties - compatibility - "Run this program as an administrator").
By the way, the manual was a bit unclear on how to install the drivers (for me at least). This is the whole process that actually got it working in my case:
- Go to "Devices and Printers"
- Right-click the device under Unspecified - select "Properties"
- Select the "Hardware" tab
- Open "Properties"
- In the "General" tab, select "Change Settings"
- Select the "Driver" tab
- Here the option for "Update Driver..." should be available, open it
- Select "Browse my computer for driver software"
- Select "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"
- Press "Have Disk" (sometimes this option isn't immediately available, first press "Next" in that case)
- Select "Browse"
- Head to the location where the driver (*.inf) is downloaded, something like "Downloads\SHARP XE-A406_A506 SOFTWARE - 64bit\Sharp XE-A406_A506\Setup\program files\SHARP ECR TOOL\XE-A406506 Customer Support Tool\Driver\Win64" and select it
- Press "Open"
- Press "OK"
- Press "Next". The driver should now install.
And again, don't forgot to Run as Administrator when starting the software: without this, I still couldn't upload data to the device.
