● Device's resources
When 1 MEAP application operates, the resource volume allocated to each device is as
follows (loaded resource list). Since the following value is an estimate, when installing the
MEAP applications, it needs to check the available resource of SMS.
Since the indication of SMS resource volume fluctuates by the login service (authentication
function) and configuration (future model), which the user selected, it may show a bigger
value than the following values.

LBP7680Cdn
i-SENSYS LBP6680x/ imageCLASS LBP6680x
Note:
• As for memory, check the available resource when starting up the application. For other
resources other than memory, check them when installing.
• Some applications call for a specific set of conditions for installation. For details, see the
User's Guide that comes with the individual applications.
• Maximum installable application is up to 20 even if the remaining resource is adequate.
(However, the Send function consumes 1, it must be 19 in practice.) Authentication
application is not included in this number.
• The MEAP application, which can be started simultaneously, is up to 19. (Authentication
application is not included in this number.)
CAUTION:
To install an application, the user needs to use the following URL when accessing the
license control system to obtain a license file. In doing so, he/she needs to register the
license access number of the application and the serial number of the device.

MEAP Specifications

■ 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.
● About Name
MEAP Specification is shown as 'MEAP Specifications' in the screen to check the version
on the side of device that supports MEAP (counter confirmation button) and MEAP
platform (SMS). On the other hand, in the manifest file of MEAP application, it is shown as
'MeapSpecVersion' (described in the same way in the SDK document)
(Note) 'MEAP Specifications' hereafter in this document.
● Mechanism
MEAP platform judges whether MEAP applications can be operated on it using on the 2
information below:
• Device Specification ID
• 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 the side of
MEAP platform machine. The machine which doesn't support the version declared by the
application rejects installation of such an application.
