MEAP™

 

Smart Applications on Next-generation MEAP Technology

Companies spend plenty of time, money, and human resources developing a document management strategy and investing in document imaging technologies. Yet one challenge remains: How to implement that strategy and enable users to effectively utilize technologies such as multifunctional peripherals, or MFPs.

Smart, user-friendly applications, developed for—and delivered on—MEAP-compatible MFP devices, is the answer

What is MEAP™?

MEAP, or Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform, enables Canon's MFP devices to support document and other services above and beyond the standard function of digital copy, print, scan, and send-to-E-mail/File/Fax/Mail Box.

In functional terms, MEAP provides application developers the following features to build higher-level document and workflow applications:

  • Graphical User-interface (GUI) development
  • Job control of print and scan operations
  • Files, data, event control, and networking services
  • Authentication, security, device interface, encryption, and other utilities

Integrated Business Solutions

As the leader in office equipment solutions, Canon has met the challenges of the modern business environment—first, by developing the digital MFP to combine copy, print, scan, and fax functions in a single device; and second, by introducing an award-winning imageRUNNER© platform, based on a unified architecture and consistent user-interface.

The benefits of integration can mean only on thing for an organization—simplicity and higher productivity.
