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.
