Abstract
A processing device in a server computer system generates multiple instances of a universal scanner driver on a server, each instance corresponding to a different scanner connected at separate user devices. The processing device receives requests for an application running on the server to scan documents using the multiple scanners concurrently. The processing device sends, using the different instances of the universal scanner driver, the requests to each user device concurrently and receives scan data corresponding to the documents from the user device.
