Advanced Anywhere Print V1.0 User’s Guide 9
Chapter 1 Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the AA-PRINT 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 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. For
instructions on installing ULM, see Chapter 5, “Installing ULM,” in the Advanced
Anywhere Print V1.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.
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
• For instructions on installing and configuring AA-PRINT, see Chapters 6 and 7 in the
Advanced Anywhere Print V1.0 Installation and Configuration Guide.
• If a USB card reader is attached to or detached from the machine after AA-PRINT
has been installed and started, the machine may need to be restarted.
