Authorized Send Installation and Configuration Guide for imageRUNNER Machines 13
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.

• 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.

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