Technesis Solution Overview
This section describes the basic overview of all the software components required for Technesis’
integration with the Ricoh Embedded Software Architecture (ESA) or Java Platform.
Technesis Ricoh ESA Applications
Technesis provides (2) applications that are installed within the Ricoh ESA infrastructure.
Technesis Servlet – Programmatic interface into the ESA platform that enables Technesis to
retrieve information from the device.
Technesis Xlet – Graphical user interface that displays on the Ricoh device panels for users to
enter user and/or billing information.
Integration Overview
The following diagram illustrates the basic communication between the Technesis Print Control System
and the Technesis ESA applications running on the Ricoh Controller.
Server Running Technesis Console
The Technesis Console is the base system to the entire print management and cost recovery
system. This must be installed and configured before beginning. Please consult the
Technesis NetDeploy Quick Start guide for details.
The Technesis database stores all activity and configuration information. This database can
be based on Jet or SQL Sever.
Server Running Technesis iBridge
Technesis iBridge is the component that links the main Technesis Print Control System and
the Technesis applications running within the Ricoh ESA platform.
The Technesis Ricoh ESA Vendor must be installed within the Technesis iBridge
infrastructure.
Ricoh Controller
The Ricoh Java Platform (ESA) must be installed and running on the Ricoh Controller.
The Technesis Servlet provides a programmatic interface into the ESA platform that enables
Technesis to retrieve information from the device.

Integration Guide
Technesis®, Inc. Page 5 of 50 Technesis Ricoh Java Application
The Technesis Xlet provides the User Interface for users to enter user and/or billing
information.
Before you Begin
•These installation instructions assume that the Ricoh Java SD™ card has already been installed
by an authorized Ricoh service technician.
•These installation instructions also assume that you have already installed the Technesis
Network Deployment version 5.5 or higher on a centralized workstation or server.
•SNMP with TCP/IP protocol must be enabled for the Technesis application to obtain meter reads
for copy and fax functions. Please verify these settings with your authorized Ricoh service
technician. These settings can be found with the Configuration – Network settings of the device.
•GLOBALSCAN NOTE: There have been reported problems with installation of the Technesis
Java application when GlobalScan has already been installed. Technesis recommends
uninstalling the GlobalScan application and reinstalling GlobalScan after the Technesis
application is installed on the device.

Installation of Technesis Java Applications
This section describes the installation and removal procedures for the Technesis java based applications.
Technesis strongly recommends installing the Technesis application with an authorized Ricoh service
technician. The installation and removal process is different for Java 1.x and Java 2.x based Ricoh
devices.
Java 1.x Devices
oOverview of the Java 1.x installation process.
oGeneral expectations when installing Java.
oManual installation via a SD Card.
Preparation of Java 1.x Devices
Supported Java 1.x Devices
Please refer to Appendix D – Ricoh Models Reference for a complete list of the Java 1.x Ricoh family
devices that Technesis supports. These devices will require the Java VM Card Type B provided by Ricoh.
Verify Ricoh Java 1.x Platform
The Technesis installation instructions require that the Ricoh Java SD™ card has already been installed
by an authorized Ricoh service technician. Java 1.x requires that the Java runtime engines be installed
manually via Extended Feature Settings. The Java 1.x implementation has a platform to run Xlets and
also a platform to run Servlets. Both Java platforms must be verified that they are installed and running.
Also verify the Ricoh Java Platform is version 1.4 or higher.
At this time, there is not a way to check for the Java 1.x Platform remotely and must be checked on the
device panel.
***NOTE*** Technesis only support Java Platform version 1.4 or higher.
Please contact your Ricoh service representative to upgrade your
existing Ricoh VM Card Type B.

technician.
Set Java 1.x Platform as Default Function Priority
The default function priority on the Ricoh device must be set to the Java Platform. This will ensure at
system startup the Technesis Java application launches at system startup and locks out the panel.
The following instructions can be followed to set Java as the default function priority. At this time, there is
not a way to enable this via Web Image Monitor and must be set manually at the device panel.
