Ricoh Embedded (JavaSDK/J) Terminal

Support for this terminal will end on 1st January 2025.

With Dispatcher Paragon Cloud version 3.1 onwards, we have updated Ricoh’s rxop libararies which requires that SSL is enabled on Ricoh devices prior to installing the embedded client

Ricoh Java SDK/J based embedded client can be installed from Dispatcher Paragon Cloud directly to the device where Java SDK/J is available on device by default. Follow steps in section Install Embedded on Ricoh devices from Dispatcher Paragon Cloud.
For IMC devices, where Java SDK/J is not present by default, additional installation of SD card with Java SDK/J is required. For installation in this scenario, follow steps in section Sideload Java Embedded on Ricoh IMC Device.

Before you begin, make sure your secondary gateway is configured according to Secondary Gateway mapping.

Install Embedded on Ricoh devices from Dispatcher Paragon Cloud

After setting up the printer on the network and configuring in Dispatcher Paragon Cloud, push out the Embedded configuration from the embedded screen in Dispatcher Paragon Cloud.

Sideload Java Embedded on Ricoh IMC Device

Prerequisites

Get java embedded client bundle (Xlet) with support for SDK 10.xx and forward for supported Ricoh devices:

The java embedded client bundle is available on the gateway. The file is located in /opt/DispatcherParagon/clients folder, the command for listing the folder is:
ls -al /opt/DispatcherParagon/clients/*xlet*. If you don’t have access to an Dispatcher Paragon Cloud gateway, contact solutionssupport@kmbs.konicaminolta.us.
For list of supported devices, please visit https://paragon.konicaminolta.com/.Once logged in, go to Dispatcher Paragon Cloud > Technical Documents > Embedded client device support and open pdf file corresponding to the Ricoh device.

Verify if SDK/J is on the Ricoh device:

  • Go to Ricoh Web Image Monitor (type IP address of Ricoh device in browser)
  • Login as admin and go to Device Management > Configurations (Some models have direct link to Configuration)
  • Navigate to Extended Features Settings > Administrator tools
  • Confirm there are memory settings in Heap/Stack Size Settings section in the Heap Size and Stack Size fields. For example, it would look similar to as shown below which says “72” as Heap Size and shows heap in use etc. You can set Stack Size to 512.

    If SDK/J is not running, the fields would be there, but there would be no entries.
    NOTE – If SDK/J not running, check that SD card is in the device in the right slot. See section on Installation of SD card below. Otherwise, if SDK/J is present and running, follow steps in section Preparation

Installation of SD card and SDK/J

  1. Installing the SD card – Turn OFF the device and remove SD card slot cover [A]
  2. Install the VM Card in SD card slot2 [A: Lower Slot]
  3. Reattach the SD card slot cover and turn ON device

Installing the Java Platform

Insert the SD card and turn the main power on as described in section above, then the Java platform is automatically installed. Automatic installation takes around 1-2 minutes.
NOTE – If you turn the power off during installation, the VM card may be damaged.

Preparation

For every Ricoh device, push the configuration with the Embedded Configuration action. For configuring the Embedded Configuration follow this link and see the section Setting the Embedded Configuration.
