2X Universal Scanning

2X Universal Scanning uses TWAIN redirection to allow any application using TWAIN technology to use hardware connected to the client device for scanning.

With 2X Universal Scanning there is no need to install any scanner drivers on the server. Only one scanner is shown on the server regardless of the number of users and sessions currently in use on the terminal server.  The 2X Universal Scanning drivers come in 32 and 64 bit format.
Note:  Currently only 32-bit applications are supported.

When you install the 2X Agent on any Terminal Server, VDI Agent or Remote PC,  2X Universal Scanning is automatically installed.

To enable or disable the functionality of 2X Universal Scanning from each Terminal Server, VDI Guest or Remote PC in the farm, select the Terminal Server(s), VDI Guest(s) or Remote PC’s and click ‘Enable’.  Click on ‘Select All’ to facilitate 2X Universal Printing on every type.  

To ‘Disable’ Universal Scanning, select the Terminal Server, VDI Host or Remote PC and then click on ‘Disable’.

To allow a published application to make use of 2X Universal Printing, you need to add the application from the ‘Scanning applications’ tab.

Please note that some applications make use of different executables.

For Universal Scanning to work, all the executables must be added in the ‘Scanning applications’ tab.

To add a scanning application, click the ‘Add...’ button or browse for an application that will use 2X Universal Scanning, such as Photoshop.

Once an application is added, it can easily be deleted.  Select the application then click the ‘Delete’ button. This will not affect the installation of the application. It will only disable the use of 2X Universal Scanning for the application.
