Advanced Anywhere Print V1.0 Installation and Configuration Guide 11

Chapter 1 Introduction This chapter describes the overview of the AA-PRINT and ULM applications, and the system requirements for installing, configuring, and operating the software.

1.1 Overview of ULM ULM is a MEAP application, developed by NT-ware, which provides login capabilities to users of a Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE device. ULM supports Local Authentication and Domain Authentication modes. Local users can authenticate against a local user database, set up by the System Administrator, by using a proximity card, or by entering their user name and password on the local device. Domain users can authenticate against an Active Directory server via a proximity card or by entering their user name and password and selecting their configured domain on the local device. For more information on logging on to the machine using ULM, see the Advanced Anywhere Print User’s Guide. For more information on configuring ULM, see the Universal Login Manager Installation and Configuration Guide. ULM does not interfere with any of the MEAP device’s native functions, such as Copy, Print, and Scan. IMPORTANT • The ULM Login Service must be installed first before you can use AA-PRINT. • System Administrator knowledge of Microsoft Windows Active Directory and Canon

MFP devices is necessary to install and configure the ULM application.

1.2 Overview of AA-PRINT AA-PRINT is an integrated MEAP application. It should be installed and operated on a supported Canon MEAP-enabled device. AA-PRINT enables authenticated users via ULM to print only their print jobs from any networked MFPs that have AA-PRINT installed. AA-PRINT supports usage and function restrictions via AMS, secure printing, and does not interfere with any of the MEAP device’s built-in functions, such as Copy, Print, and Scan. IMPORTANT • The ULM Login Service must be installed first before you can use AA-PRINT. • System Administrator knowledge of Microsoft Windows and Canon MFP devices is

necessary to install and configure the AA-PRINT application.
