Installing Applications
You can install MEAP applications. There are two types of installation: installing a new MEAP application, and updating an existing MEAP application to a newer version.
IMPORTANT
You will need a valid license file in order to install a MEAP application.
If your application comes with a License Access Number, you must access the License Management System at the following URL to acquire your license file:
http://www.canon.com/lms/license/
Follow the online directions to create and download your license file. You will need to have your License Access Number and your MEAP device serial number(s) available in order to complete the license generation process.
If your application does not come with a License Access Number, your license file will be provided by your MEAP Application provider.
If you are updating an existing MEAP application to a newer version, stop the application before installing the new version. You cannot update the application unless you stop it first. (See "Stopping Applications.")
The maximum number of applications that can be installed is 19.
The maximum amount of hard disk space allocated to install MEAP applications is 1GB.
You can confirm the hard drive space allocated to MEAP applications in [Hard Disk], under [Resource Information] displayed in the [MEAP Application Management] page.
There may be other system requirements for installation, depending on the applications.
For instructions on settings, see the manual provided with the application.
If the machine enters the Shutdown mode while installing a MEAP application, an error message may be displayed on the [Install] page for SMS, and the installation cancelled.
In this case, try installing the MEAP application again after the machine is restarted (the main power switch is turned OFF, and then back ON again). For instructions on how to turn ON/OFF the machine, see "Main Power and Control Panel Power."
Depending on the application installed, the icon may be displayed on the Main Menu screen of the touch panel display.
When the icon is not displayed on the Main Menu screen after you have finished the installation, press [Show All] on the Main Menu screen.
