Installing Custom MFP UIs

3 minute read Last updated on March 13, 2024

Installing a custom MFP UI onto a device requires a license for the device - either a purchased license or a trial (demo) license. A custom MFP UI can be installed on any device on which a purchased MFP UI Device license is currently installed. Only one MFP UI Device License is required per device, regardless of the number of MFP UIs you install on it. For more information, refer to the MFP UI Quick Start Guide.

The trial version of your UI can be installed on any device on which a purchased MFP UI Device license is not currently installed and a trial of the UI has not already been installed. Trial UIs expire after 15 days, and can be used only once per UI.

To install a custom MFP UI on a device, do the following:

  1. Publish the custom MFP UI.

  2. Install it either from the MarketPlace store or from MarketPlace at the MFP.

Publishing UIs

To make the MFP UI available for installation on a device, you must first publish it on MarketPlace. Do the following:

  1. On the MFP UIs page, click on the More button.
  2. Select the Publish option.
  3. On the Publish MFP UI pop-up window that appears, enter notes about the version you are publishing, if desired.
  4. Select the Publish button. See the following illustration for an example:

Notes:

  • If you edit and then publish an existing MFP UI, the version number of the UI increments to reflect the change.

  • Editing an unpublished MFP UI does not change the MFP UI’s version number.

Installing UIs Remotely

To install your MFP UI on a device remotely, from the MarketPlace store, do the following:

  1. Select the Apps and Licenses link from the MarketPlace menu bar. A drop-down menu appears.

  2. From the drop-down, select My MFP UIs. Note that for this option to appear on the menu, you must have published one or more MFP UIs. See the following illustration for an example:

  1. The MFP UIs panel displays all the MFP UIs currently available for installation. Select an MFP UI from the panel. See the following illustration:

  1. In the Available panel, check the box next to the device(s) on which to install the UI.

  2. Click the Install button.

  3. The Install Options window appears, where you can position your custom MFP UI button anywhere on the device panel.

  4. Click Install when you are done. The device with the installed UI appears in the Installed panel, as shown in the following illustration:

Once the device performs its next synchronization with MarketPlace, the UI will be available on the device.

Installing UIs at the Device

To install your MFP UI directly, at the device, do the following:

  1. Log into App Manager at the device.

  2. Tap on the MFP UIs tab.

  3. Select the Install button next to the MFP UI you want to install. See the following illustration:
