MEAP Specifications
■ What is MEAP Specifications (MEAP Spec Version)?
MEAP Specifications is one of the information required to judge whether MEAP applications
can be operated or not. With MEAP Specifications, you can prevent an application that uses
a specific function of device from being installed onto the device that does not have the
function.
■ About Name
MEAP Specification is shown as 'MEAP Specifications' in the screen to check the version
on the side of device that supports MEAP (counter confirmation button) and MEAP
platform (SMS). On the other hand, in the manifest file of MEAP application, it is shown as
'MeapSpecVersion' (described in the same way in the SDK document)
(Note) 'MEAP Specifications' hereafter in this document.

Mechanism
MEAP platform judges whether MEAP applications can be operated on it using on the 2
information below:
• Device Specification ID
• MEAP Specifications
Device Specification ID shows information such as the original functions of MFP (including
print, scan, and copy), and one that differs by model such as maximum copy number,
thus each model has a different ID. (It is easy to determine the IDs for this reason.) MEAP
application declares 1 or more Device Specification ID required for its execution. Declaration
of multiple Device Specification IDs means that the application is operable in all the models
declared. Upon installation of MEAP application in (using) SMS or MEAP Enterprise Service
Manager, matching of Device Specification ID is executed on the side of MEAP platform
machine. The machine which doesn't support the ID declared by the application rejects
installation of such an application.
Meanwhile, MEAP Specifications shows other information than defined by Device
Specification
ID above, including network and security. Thus each model does not always have the same
version.
MEAP application declares 1 or more MEAP Specifications required for its execution.
Declaration of multiple Device Specification IDs means that the application is operable
in all the environments declared. Upon installation of MEAP application in SMS or MEAP
