Installing Applications to Printers

This section describes the method for creating a task for the batch installation or update of an application registered in this software to multiple printers.
IMPORTANT
MEAP applications cannot be installed to devices that support AddOn applications.
Do not select an older version of an application that is already installed in a printer for the task. The application in the printer will be overwritten with the older version of the application, and the application may also become unable to start.
If the printers need to be restarted, this software restarts them after installation of the application is complete.
NOTE
If the same version of an application that is already installed in a printer is selected for a task, it is not installed.
