Content Delivery System
The CDS is Canon’s next generation system for the delivery and
installation of firmware and MEAP (Multifunction Embedded Application
Platform)
applications
to
imageRUNNER
ADVANCE
devices.
The
advantages of the CDS include reduced service costs (labor and travel),
and improved first-call resolution and having the latest version of firmware
always available to download and install on the imageRUNNER
ADVANCE devices.
With the CDS end-users are able to download select MEAP applications
(.jar files and license files) from the CDS server via the User Interface of
the
imageRUNNER
ADVANCE
device.
Additionally,
select
client
applications and related manuals are available from the CDS Web Site
(
http://www.canon.com/fau/downloads
).
However, the value of using the CDS is realized when updating multiple
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices. You can save up to 40 minutes per
machine for firmware downloading and installation.
There are three methods, which helps you to deliver firmware updates to
imageRUNNER ADVANCE devices:
