Configuring Fuji Xerox XCP ApeosPort VII

This manual was created based on Fuji Xerox ApeosPort C2570 and should be applicable to most Fuji Xerox ApeosPort MFDs, although slight differences may occur.


Requirements

  1. Device has to support the YSoft SafeQ Embedded Terminal, supported devices are listed on the Partner Portal in the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

  2. Device has to support eXtensible Customizing Platform (XCP) versions 1.2+ (for YSoft Terminal Application - 2nd Gen. is required version 1.4+).

  3. External Access Kit (Web Browser, EBW v4) is installed (Should be done by Fuji Xerox service engineer).

  4. Proper NVM is set in service mode (Should be done by Fuji Xerox service engineer).

  5. If you are planning on using Elatec TWN4 reader, make sure the reader has Keyboard standard firmware.

General notes

  • During MFD configuration, MFD sometimes requires reboot. When prompted for reboot, follow the instruction displayed either on web browser or on MFD operation panel.

  • Make sure that External Access Kit is installed and configured at the MFD.
