To Develop a Total Remote Hardcopy Job Submission Application using MEAP MEAP Manning Early Access Program MEAP Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform MEAP Michigan Education Assessment Program MEAP Maryland Energy Assistance Program MEAP Minority Ethnic Achievement Project (UK) Technology for Canon imageRUNNER MFPs LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y. -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., and Rochester Software Associates (RSA), Inc., a leading provider of digital document workflow solutions, today announced that RSA will license Canon's innovative Multifunctional Embedded Application An application that permanently resides in an industrial or consumer device. Providing some type of control function and/or user interface, the software is typically stored in a non-volatile memory such as ROM or flash memory. Platform (MEAP) Software Developers Kit to design and develop a customizable remote hardcopy job submission application for Canon imageRUNNER devices. With the new MEAP application, users will be able to simply scan and submit jobs, including finishing and billing preferences, to their internal print center directly from a Canon imageRUNNER device. The planned MEAP based application will complement and extend the capabilities of RSA's existing suite of print center-centric workflow applications A workflow application is where various applications, components and people must be involved in the processing of data to complete an instance of a process. For example, consider a purchase order that moves through various departments for authorization and eventual purchase. , particularly the QDirect enterprise print workflow management solution and WebCRD solutions. RSA's MEAP application is scheduled to be available later this year. "We are proud to expand upon our existing relationship with RSA through development on the MEAP platform. RSA's heritage in the production printing marketplace, coupled with the convenience afforded users through their MEAP application, is yet another example of how Canon and its partners are enhancing user workflow," said Dennis Amorosano, director and general manager, Solutions Business Development Division, Canon U.S.A., Inc.

Canon was the first manufacturer in the industry to launch an MFP (MultiFunction Printer, MultiFunction Peripheral) See all-in-one and MFD. software development platform in 2003. The Java-based MEAP development environment provides a platform for the creation of unique applications, simplifying the interaction between users and Canon's devices, while tying tightly into a user's specific workflow. Since the introduction of MEAP, Canon has been working with third-party software vendors, customers and dealers to develop customized document workflow tasks on Canon imageRUNNER MFPs. MEAP based applications are currently in use by organizations in the legal, hospitality, education and healthcare markets.
