■ Device compatibility with the MEAP application
To find out whether the device is compatible with the MEAP application, check the devices supported by the MEAP application.
Depending on the application, the device's firmware may require version upgrade.
■ Resources availability (remaining amount)
The necessary resources (free storage space and free memory available) must be secured for an MEAP application to run;
otherwise, you cannot install the MEAP application.
To check the resource information, see [ Resource Information ] .
■ What is MEAP Specifications (MEAP Spec Version)?
MEAP Specifications is one of the information required to judge whether MEAP applications can be operated or not. With MEAP
Specifications, you can prevent an application that uses a specific function of device from being installed onto the device that
does not have the function.

Mechanism
MEAP platform judges whether MEAP applications can be operated on it using on the 2 information below:
• DeviceSpecificationID
• MEAP Specifications
Device Specification ID shows information such as the original functions of MFP (including print, scan, and copy), and one that
differs by model such as maximum copy number, thus each model has a different ID. (It is easy to determine the IDs for this
reason.) MEAP application declares 1 or more Device Specification ID required for its execution. Declaration of multiple Device
Specification IDs means that the application is operable in all the models declared. Upon installation of MEAP application in
(using) SMS or MEAP Enterprise Service Manager, matching of Device Specification ID is executed on the side of MEAP platform
machine. The machine which doesn't support the ID declared by the application rejects installation of such an application.
Meanwhile, MEAP Specifications shows other information than defined by Device Specification ID above, including network and
security. Thus each model does not always have the same version.
MEAP application declares 1 or more MEAP Specifications required for its execution.
Declaration of multiple Device Specification IDs means that the application is operable in all the environments declared. Upon
installation of MEAP application in SMS or MEAP Enterprise Service Manager, matching of MEAP Specifications is executed on
