Chapter 1 Overview

Authorized Send is a customized MEAP application. It should be installed and operated on a Canon MEAP-enabled device, and provides authenticated scan to e-mail, scan to fax, and scan to folder functionalities. Authorized Send does not require the user to be authenticated to use the native functions of the machine, such as Copy, Print, and Scan, and does not interfere with any of these functions.

MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform) is a software platform embedded in Canon imageRUNNER and imagePRESS machines that enables the development of custom applications, which run alongside native functions, such as Copy, Print, and Scan.

MEAP, developed by Canon, is based on Sun Microsystems’ Java and Java 2 Micro Edition technology.

“MEAP device” is a MEAP-enabled Canon imageRUNNER or imagePRESS that is running the Authorized Send application. It may also be referred to as “MEAP imageRUNNER” or “machine.”

imageRUNNER machines are the Canon imageRUNNERs, Color imageRUNNERs, and imagePRESS multifunctional machines.

Authorized Send is designed to perform the following functions once configured from the Authorized Send Configuration servlet:

•Authenticate against an LDAP server.

•Ability to disable LDAP authentication.

•Authenticate to an address book server anonymously.

•Retrieve a user’s e-mail address and home directory.

•Search the LDAP address book server for e-mail addresses.

•Browse a network for valid share folders.

•Provide the ability to configure preset shares.

•Scan and send a document to a valid e-mail address, networked folder, or fax server.

•Enables a System Administrator to control the features that are available to a user.

•Enables a System Administrator to set default values for the Scan to E-Mail function.

•If activated, enables the use of the Searchable PDF, Encrypted PDF, and Compact PDF modes.

•Logs error and debugging information that is generated by the application to your local hard drive and to optional remote syslog servers.

•Scan in the PDF, TIFF, TIFF(Single), and JPEG file formats.

•Create folders that do not exist dynamically (in particular, using the user’s User Name).
