Canon Marketing Japan’s patent “Serverless printing technology for multiple printers” received the Kanto Regional Invention Award’s “Invention Encouragement Award”.
The “Regional Invention Award” honours engineers and researchers who have created outstanding inventions, ideas, or designs in each region of Japan every year.
Serverless Anyplace Print for MEAP ADVANCE is a printer function expansion application that allows you to print from any multifunction device or laser beam printer at any time without installing a server. By temporarily storing the print data on the multifunction device after a print instruction is given, it is possible to print from any multifunction device within the same group, which is a system that ensures security, reduces printing errors, and is convenient.
MEAP is an abbreviation for Multifunctional Embedded Application Platform, which is an application platform installed in Canon multifunction devices and laser beam printers. A dedicated MEAP application can be run on the platform, that is, on the multifunction device. With the MEAP application, you can optimize your multifunction device to suit your office tasks.
