Chapter 1111-111.1 MEAP11.1.1 Overview 0011-9562iR7105 / iR7095 / iR7086The term MEAP stands for Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform, and is used to generically refer to a platform for software built into MFPs and periph-eral equipment. The architecture is based on Java (J2ME, i.e., Java 2 Platform Micro Edition), and is designed to enable the execution of Java applications.A MEAP application behaves independently from its host printer's system software, and may be installed or uninstalled using SMS (Service Management Service),which is an interface that runs as part of the browser on a PC. As long as the device supports MEAP, most MEAP applications may be added to the device in the field.11.1.2 MEAP Counter 0011-9564iR7105 / iR7095 / iR7086In addition to the commonly found print counters, a device that supports MEAP is equipped with a counter mechanism used to keep track of which functions areused as well as how often they are used for individual MEAP applications that are installed. The MEAP counter readings may be checked by making the followingselections on the device control panel: Counter Check Key>MEAP Counter Check. A device may possess the following MEAP counters, and which counter to useand, therefore, to display all depend on the application in question.A counter reading may be of a type that is forced to increase as a job is expected or of a type that is increased when the application sends instructions; or, it may beof a type that increases independently of the host device, thus increasing solely in response to the application being run; specifics are as follows:T-11-1MEMO:forced: the device forces the counter to increase its reading in response to execution of a job.in response to instructions from application: the counter increases its reading only in response to instructions from the application.application independent: the counter operates according to the specifications of the application.11.1.3 Construction of the MEAP Platform 0011-9565iR7105 / iR7095 / iR7086In addition to the installation of the system software, language file, and RUI, a printer equipped with MEAP functions calls for the installation of MEAP content,which offers functions (system services) needed to run MEAP applications and class libraries needed by the MEAP applications to control the device.Type Count itemforced total 1total (black-and-white small)total (black-and-while large)total (black-and-white 1)scan (total 1)black-and-white scan (total 1)in response to instructions from application black-and-white scan 1black-and-white scan 2black-and-white scan 3black-and-white scan 4application-independent free 1free 2free 3free 4free 5free 6free 7free 8free 9free 10free 11free 12
