Configuring Scanner Redirection
By using scanner redirection, View users can scan information in their remote desktops and applications
with scanning and imaging devices that are connected locally to their client computers. Scanner redirection
is available in Horizon 6.0.2 and later releases.
Scanner redirection supports standard scanning and imaging devices that are compatible with the TWAIN
and WIA formats.
After you install View Agent with the Scanner Redirection setup option, the feature works on your remote
desktops and applications without further configuration. You do not have to configure scanner-specific
drivers on remote desktops or applications.
You can configure group policy settings to change default values to adapt to particular scanning and
imaging applications or environments. You can also set a policy to disable or enable the feature altogether.
With an ADM template file, you can install scanner redirection group policy settings in Active Directory or
on individual desktops. See “Configuring Scanner Redirection Group Policy Settings,” on page 166.
When scanning data is redirected to a remote desktop or application, you cannot access the scanning or
imaging device on the local computer. Conversely, when a device is in use on the local computer, you
cannot access it on the remote desktop or application.
System Requirements for Scanner Redirection
To support scanner redirection, your View deployment must meet certain software and hardware
requirements.
