Overview

The Xerox® Extensible Interface Platform allows independent software vendors and partners to develop personalized and customized document management solutions EIP is a software platform that allows you to install customized applications on your device, and access the applications directly from the control panel These applications can leverage existing printer infrastructure and databases Examples of applications include ScanFlow Store, Scan to PC Desktop®, Equitrac Office, and others. For more information on Xerox® Extensible Interface Platform applications for your printer, contact your Xerox representative, or refer to www.xerox.com/en-us/office/eip on the Xerox website. You can configure Xerox® Extensible Interface Platform services from the Properties tab in the Embedded Web Server. Configure Extensible Services To configure extensible services: Extensible Service Scan Settings You can configure EIP settings that are specific to scan applications. To configure scan settings: Extensible Service Diagnostics The Diagnostics page displays device connectivity information You can use this page to verify device connectivity settings, and to enable or disable the EIP Remote Web Inspector feature. Connectivity settings directly impact EIP apps Improper settings can impair functionality for these applications. The following settings impact EIP apps: To test connectivity for a connection type: EIP Remote Web Inspector The EIP Remote Web Inspector feature allows developers to use a client computer to debug remotely an EIP app or weblet that is running on the device. The EIP Remote Web Inspector provides access to common Web development tools, such as a node inspector, a resource inspector, an app source-file viewer, and the JavaScript console This functionality enables a developer to identify what is wrong with a weblet page or why the page appears in a certain way. Note : The Second Gen EIP Browser Remote Web Inspector is a powerful debugging tool that enables EIP app developers to debug their apps that are running within the Second Gen EIP Browser. Before you can debug an app using the EIP Remote Web Inspector, perform the following steps: To enable the EIP Remote Web Inspector, perform the following steps: While the EIP Remote Web Inspector is enabled, the following messages appear on the device control panel touch screen: Extensible Service Setup for Apps The Extensible Services Apps page lists the EIP applications that are registered on the device You can use this page to test the application settings and to test device access to specific URLs. Accessing Extensible Services Setup for Apps Testing Individual Application Settings Testing URLs Extensible Service Advanced Setup The Extensible Service Advanced Setup page displays the device memory allocation and usage for the EIP browser You can use this page to determine memory usage for EIP applications and appropriate memory allocation for the EIP browser. To configure memory allocation for the EIP browser: In the Embedded Web Server, click Properties > General Setup . Click Extensible Service Setup > Settings .

In the EIP Advanced Setting area, enter the number of times that EIP apps are allowed to load before the EIP browser restarts This setting determines when the embedded browser performs a hard reset. Note: The Number of EIP application loads before restart setting does not need adjustment typically, unless otherwise directed by Xerox. In the Proxy Server area, configure the settings as needed. To use a proxy server, from the list, select Proxy . To configure HTTP proxy server settings, in the HTTP area, click Edit . To use the same proxy server for HTTPS, select the check box for Use settings for all protocols . To use a separate proxy server for EIP apps that use HTTPS, in the HTTPS area, configure the HTTPS proxy server settings. In the Bypass Proxy Rules area, type the required values Separate the required values with commas. Note : The Bypass Proxy Rules do not apply to the following features: Remote Services:  HTTP(S) File Destinations:  HTTP(S) Template Pool:  To use a proxy server, from the list, select Proxy . To configure HTTP proxy server settings, in the HTTP area, click Edit . To use the same proxy server for HTTPS, select the check box for Use settings for all protocols .

Note : The Bypass Proxy Rules do not apply to the following features: Remote Services:  HTTP(S) File Destinations:  HTTP(S) Template Pool:  Remote Services:  HTTP(S) File Destinations:  HTTP(S) Template Pool:  In the Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) area, configure the settings as needed Typically, EIP app developers use these settings For more information, refer to the EIP Software Developers Kit. To allow resource sharing across domains, select the check box for Enable Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) Validation . Note : When Cross Origin Resource Sharing is disabled, you can still enter trusted domains. To add trusted domains, in the Trusted domains area, type the domain information Separate multiple domains with commas The maximum number of characters allowed is 1024.
