User manual CANON MEAP BROCHURE

[. . . ] Stand-alone analogue copiers and printers gave way to productive digital devices culminating in the development of our 'intelligent' MFP systems, capable of sending and receiving digital documents to and from a vast array of sources. Now Canon is ready to implement the most important stage of all, using embedded applications in the MFP device to deliver simple and effective solutions. Transforming the device into whatever the customer needs it to be. A JAVA-BASED PLATFORM FOR OPTIMUM VERSATILITY MEAP has been expressly designed as a development environment, facilitating the creation of Java-based applications and thus allowing developers to maximise the utility of Canon MFP dynamic devices. [. . . ] · Utility Native Component: Provides security algorithms, image processing functions, and USB interface. · Utility Class Library: Wraps the Utility Native Component for access from the Java environment. MEAP SYSTEM SERVICES The following MEAP System Services provide functions to MEAP applications running on the Platform: · SIS (System Interface Service) Redirects events from the device to Services. · AVS (Applet Viewer Service) Shows the user interface provided by Services on the local console. · HTTP Web server that supports the servlet interface. · LMS (License Management Service) Manages the licensing of applications. · SMS (Service Management Service) Provides a user interface on the Web for managing the life cycle of applications. · LLS (Local Login Service) An application that displays a modal dialogue on the local console for entering and processing user authentication information (e. g. user name and password, or a smart card). · RLS (Remote Login Service) An application that displays a Web page on a remote browser for entering and processing user authentication information (e. g. user name and password). MEAP technology overview MEAP APPLICATION CLASSIFICATIONS MEAP applications are classified into three different types, based on the user interface: · Applet Type: An application that displays a user interface on the console. · Servlet Type: An application that displays web pages on a remote web browser. · Esplet Type: An application that does not have a user interface. · Copy, scan, print job submission · Job management (cancel, hold, resume) · Device management (get device status, get/change device settings) · Log management (get job history) · Mailbox and document management (list documents in mailbox, retrieve documents in mailbox, move/ copy documents to other The MEAP architecture, consisting of these core elements, allows for flexible integration and/or redesign of MEAP Device functions into customised applications. mailboxes and/or locations) · Resource management (fonts, colour calibration, etc. ) MANAGING NUMBER OF PRINTS CPCA CPCA (Common Peripheral Controlling Architecture) performs a very important role within the overall MEAP architecture. CPCA is implemented in MEAP as a Java class library. Any application built under MEAP can submit and control a printer, scanner, copier job by invoking the class library.
