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.

To Add Scanners in DeviceHub

You add a scanner or multiple scanners in the DeviceHub application. Do the following:

  1. Navigate to Start > Programs > Acumatica > Acumatica DeviceHub to view the DeviceHub main window.
  2. Click File > Configure in the DeviceHub main menu.
  3. On the General tab of the Configuration window, select the Enable scanner support check box.
  4. On the Scanners tab, for each scanner you want to add to the list, click the Add button, and specify the following settings:
    • Name: Enter the name of the scanner.
      Note:
      Only digits and uppercase letters are allowed in scanner names. If you specify an incorrect scanner name, the system displays a message warning you that the scanner name must be corrected.
    • Scanner: From the drop-down list, select one of the scanners detected in the system.
    • Paper source: Leave <Glass> to use the default system settings, or specify another paper source.
    • Color mode: Leave <RGB> to use the default system settings, or specify another color mode.
    • Resolution: Leave <100> to use the default system settings, or specify another output resolution.
    • File type: Leave <Image> to use the default system settings, or specify another type of file to which the result of scanning will be saved.
  5. Click OK to close the Configuration window.
  6. Sign in to the MYOB Acumatica instance for which you have configured DeviceHub.
  7. Open the Scanners (SM206540) form.
  8. On the form toolbar, click Update Scanner List to retrieve the list of scanners from DeviceHub.
