Embedded Application

Use the Embedded Applications template to install, activate, update, or uninstall embedded applications on the device.

Please note the following important information:

If the target devices do not have a built-in HDD installed, you must install an HDD before deploying an RICOH CloudStream Print&Scan Embedded. Please refer to Supported Printers for the list of printers that require additional storage.

When installing the RICOH CloudStream Print&Scan Embedded, configure the required access accounts before executing the Embedded Applications template. For more details, refer to Access Profiles and Accounts.

When the RICOH CloudStream Print&Scan Embedded is installed on the Ricoh devices without the VM Card option, the device does not enter Sleep mode.

By default, the system creates three default embedded templates.

• RICOH CloudStream Device Management Agent Update: Use this embedded template to update the DM Agent application installed on the devices. Follow the instructions in Update the DM Agent Application to use this template.

• RICOH CloudStream Print&Scan Embedded Install: Use this embedded template to install the Print&Scan embedded in target devices. Refer to Install Print&Scan Embedded App for details.

• RICOH CloudStream Print&Scan Embedded Uninstall: Use this embedded template to uninstall/remove the Print&Scan embedded from target devices. Refer to Uninstall Print&Scan Embedded App for details.

The default embedded templates are marked as checked under the System column, indicating that they are embedded templates that use the global version of the embedded application, and you cannot delete them. You can view the application version in the Version column.

If you want to create a new embedded template, follow the steps below.

1. Login as an administrator

2. Go to Device Configuration, expand the Device Configuration Template, then click Embedded Application.

3. Click [Add].

4. Enter the Template Name.

5. (Optional) Enter the Description.

6. Select an option from the drop-down menu. Choose one of the following options:

   Options	Description
   Use File in Repository	When selected, the list of embedded application files uploaded to the cloud repository is displayed.
   Uninstall	Select the Embedded Application to be uninstalled from the [Application Name (Product ID)] menu. The list of applications obtained from device information is displayed for the selected items in the menu.
   Upload New File to Repository	This method uploads the Embedded Application file to the repository. After uploading, you can select the uploaded file in the list to create an embedded application template. This method is used only to apply a custom package and is not normally used.

   Option: Use File in Repository

   If required, upload the target embedded application file to the cloud repository first before picking the file when you create the embedded application template. To do so, please check Option: Upload New File to Repository.

   1. Select Use File in Repository as an option.

   2. Select the embedded application from the table. You can select only one application to create the template.

    

   Option: Uninstall

   Choose this option to uninstall the embedded application from the target devices.

   1. Select Uninstall as an option.

   2. Select the Application Name (Product ID) to be uninstalled.

   3. Depending on the Application Name selected, the Version to uninstall will list all versions available for the selected application. The drop-down Version to uninstall has a default value of "All," allowing users to uninstall all versions of the application from the target device.

    

   Option: Upload New File to Repository

   To upload a new file to the repository, select "Upload New File to Repository", then do the following sub-steps:

   1. Click [Choose files].

   2. Select the embedded application from your local drive. You can select only one application at a time.

   3. Enter the description of the embedded application to be uploaded.

   4. Click the [Upload] button. By doing so, the embedded application will be uploaded to the cloud repository.

   5. Check the uploaded embedded application in the table. If the upload fails, an error message will display, and the embedded application will not be listed in the table.

   You can repeat steps a to e if you plan to upload more embedded application files.

7. After selecting an embedded application, click [OK].

The embedded application template is listed in the Embedded Application table. The template can now be used to create a Configuration Task or Device Policies.
