Limitations
Canon Embedded cannot be installed on MFPs manufactured for North America and Latin America regions because it is not approved yet by Canon for these regions.

Prerequisites

Required files are:

1. a Java package file (ubilogin.jar)
2. an accompanying text file (A1Lan.txt). The text file contains a License Access Number that will be used to generate the license file (.lic).
   

The “Web Access” browser/software must be installed on the Canon MFP.
When this web browser is installed on the MFP, it can be verified on the printer homepage (RUI) under Status Monitor/Cancel: Device Features – Other.

License file generation

Beforehand, it is recommended that you gather the Device Serial Number for all the MFPs you need to install the application on.
