This policy setting is used for centralized management of scanner autoselection.
The following autoselection modes are used:
"None" - do not select scanners automatically;
"Autoselect" - automatically select the plugged scanner;
"Last used" - automatically select the last used plugged scanner;
"Specified" - the selected scanner is determined by the contents of the "Specified scanner" field.
If this policy setting is enabled, the scanner autoselection mode for the user will be set by this policy setting.
If this policy setting is disabled or not configured, the "Autoselect" mode will be used.
The user has the possibility to change the autoselection mode at any time via the settings interface, even if the policy setting is enabled.
If this policy setting is used for the computer, it overrides the policy setting for all users of this computer. In this case the user won't have the possibility to change the autoselection mode via the settings interface.
