Pre-installed applications
On the Smart Operation Panel, applications such as the GW applications (Copy/Printer/Document
Server/Scanner/Fax), Control Panel Browser, the standard keyboard, Installer, Gallery, Self Check are
pre-installed. Unlike those installed on the controller board (PCB15) of the MFP, GW applications that
are installed on the Smart Operation Panel are for controlling operation and display of the Smart
Operation Panel.
Pre-installed applications are provided as part of the control panel firmware (Cheetah System) together
with the Android firmware. When you update the control panel firmware using the recovery mode or
another method, the pre-installed applications will also be updated.
Applications that can be installed
On the Smart Operation Panel, applications can be installed in addition to the pre-installed applications.
Applications that can be installed include optional applications that customers can purchase,
applications that are installed only on machines sold in specific regions, and custom-made applications.
Communication Specifications
The Smart Operation Panel and the GW controller are connected by a USB 2.0/3.0 cable. They
communicate with each other via the Android OS on the Smart Operation Panel, using protocols called
“OCS Library” and “Flair-API (System/Application)”.
