DEVICE CUSTOMIZATION
Savin understands that every business is unique. To meet your customers’ specific workflow requirements, the Savin Series features Savin’s new Embedded Software Architecture™. This innovative
The Software Development Kit (SDK) for the ESA™ is a package of
customer solution partners (ISVs, SIs, VARs, etc.) to create and embed unique applications that run inside the MFP to meet the specialized workflow needs of businesses. These may include forms printing, unique fonts, barcodes, retail transaction printing, automated document routing, or report printing applications. After an application has been created and tested, the code is transferred to the MFP and stored in the system’s HDD. Savin’s Embedded Software Architecture will help to level the playing field against other customization solutions, such as Canon’s MEAP (Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform).

Same Technology, Two Approaches: Network Appliance and Embedded Technology
1.Remote Communication Gate – Network Appliance Type
The @Remote network appliance is designed and developed by Savin. During its development, our product development groups have worked diligently to continue to enhance GW Architecture to enable these devices to communicate with the remote management system. Newer GW architecture devices can communicate about their status including toner levels and error conditions, furnish meter data, automatically send service call requests, receive firmware and be adjusted remotely. @Remote technology makes this functionality possible. In specific, the Remote Communication Gate (RC Gate) network appliance is a small footprint, thin server that is connected to the network. It enables meter collection of network connected
