iR2270 / iR2870 / iR3570 / iR4570
The term MEAP stands for Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform, and is used to generically refer to a
platform for software built into MFPs and peripheral 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.
