Canon Terminal

Limitations

Canon Terminal can be installed on MFDs registered in Europe or Oceania. Each region requires a different embedded terminal package, which can be downloaded from the web management UI. Installation in other regions is not approved by Canon at this time.

Prerequisites

• A custom login application will be installed on the MFD. This requires obtaining the necessary files from the SAFEQ Cloud folder: /opt/safeqcloud/conf/canon
  Required files are:

• • a Java package file (YSoft SAFEQ Embedded Terminal_1.6.0.jar)

  • an accompanying text file (A1_YSoftSAFEQEmbe_160_20230905085252_0001.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 MFD.
  When this web browser is installed on the MFD, it can be verified on the printer homepage (RUI) under Status Monitor/Cancel: Device Features – Other.

• You have configured your secondary gateway according to Secondary Gateway mapping.

License file generation

Beforehand, it is recommended that you gather the Device Serial Number for all the MFDs you need to install the application on.
To generate the license file, we need to follow the steps and instructions available on the Canon website for the License Management System.

• Enter the License Access Number provided in the downloaded text file, then press ‘Next’:
