To Add Scanners in DeviceHub
The DeviceHub application is a Windows application to which MYOB Acumatica sends push notifications when a scan job is requested.
Important: Only one scanner
can be managed by each workstation due to limitations with scanning simultaneously
from the same workstation with a single scanner driver of the manufacturer. That is,
when DeviceHub is used for scanning, it must be installed on each workstation that is connected
to a scanner for proper functionality.
