Introduction
The EWS solution installer page can be used to install example applications that come as part of the software
development kit (SDK).
If the solution partner develops applications similar to those provided in the SDK—for example, a custom menu
(create a custom menu under administrator menu), a custom internal page (that displays on the EWS), a custom
pdl (page description language) using OPI interface, a custom authentication agent—they can be installed by
making use of the Solution Installer page on EWS.
Many current third party solutions use OXP 1.5 interface apis in the solution to install the bundle. For example,
when Safecom or HPAC (versions before 15.0) secure pull-print applications are congured, they install the
solution bundles containing the custom authentication agent by using OXP 1.5 "Install" api automatically without
requiring the user to go to EWS to install.
Before you begin
Before installing a solution, verify that there is a non-blank administrator password set on the General Security
page under the Security tab.
For solutions that require a restart of the printer to complete the installation, click the Restart Now button to
restart the printer immediately, or click the Restart Later button to delay the restart.
Before reinstalling a solution, look for the solution in the Installed Solutions area, and then remove the solution.
If an existing solution is installed again, a message displays warning that the installation is about to overwrite the
existing solution. In this message, click OK to continue, or click Cancel to stop the installation.
After-market solutions require a digital signature to ensure that they come from a trusted source and have not
been modied.
Firmware upgrades cannot be performed using the Solution Installer page. Install rmware upgrades on the
Firmware Upgrade page.
Step one: Install a solution
Use the following steps to install a new solution.
1. Using the top navigation tabs, click General.
2. In the left navigation pane, click Solution Installer.
