A software package consisting of the Android Firmware and the manufacturer’s own pre-installed applications is installed on the Smart Operation Panel.
The following three types of software are installed on the Smart Operation Panel.
Android Firmware (Android OS)
Pre-installed applications
Applications that can be installed additionally
Android Firmware (Android OS)
The Android Firmware (Android OS) consists of the following modules that are called “stacks”.
Linux kernel
Android Runtime
Library
Application Framework
Pre-installed applications
On the Smart Operation Panel, applications such as the GW applications (Copy/Printer/Document Server/Scanner/Fax), Control Panel Browser, the standard keyboard, Installer, Gallery, Self Check are pre-installed. Unlike those installed on the controller board of the MFP, GW applications that are installed on the Smart Operation Panel are for controlling operation and display of the Smart Operation Panel.
Pre-installed applications are provided as part of the control panel firmware (Cheetah System) together with the Android firmware. When you update the control panel firmware using the recovery mode or another method, the pre-installed applications will also be updated.
Applications that can be installed
On the Smart Operation Panel, applications can be installed in addition to the pre-installed applications.
Applications that can be installed include optional applications that customers can purchase, applications that are installed only on machines sold in specific regions, and custom-made applications.
On an MFP, applications such as Simple UI applications (Quick Copy, Quick Fax, and Quick Scanner) and Scan to Me are installed.
The Smart Operation Panel and the GW controller are connected by a USB 2.0 cable. They communicate with each other via the Android OS on the Smart Operation Panel, using protocols called “OCS Library” and “Flair-API (System/Application)”.
System block diagram
Overview of Components
Communication module/signal name | Details |
OCS Library | OSC stands for Operating Control Service. It is a module that controls the control panel. The set of signals used by this module to control the control panel are called the OCS Library. It is used during communication between the Legacy UI (system) module on the Smart Operation Panel and the GW module for the following processes. |
Flair-API (System/Application) | Flair is the manufacturer's own communication interface between software modules. The interface uses a generic WebAPI. It is divided into two parts: a part that communicates directly with applications such as the application manager, Home, Authentication, Banner, Check Status, and Widgets, and a part that monitors applications. It communicates with the GW controller via the CATS module. |
CATS | CATS stands for Cheetah Application Total System. It is a module in the GW controller. Because the Smart Operation Panel uses the Android OS, the contents and protocols of communication are not the same as those of the conventional control panel. CATS serves as an intermediary between the GW controller and the Smart Operation Panel. It also controls the power status of the control panel. CATS communicates with the Smart Operation Panel using the Flair-API, and communicates with the GW module using the GW-API. |
GW-IPC | The name of the interface used among modules in the GW controller. The role is the same as that of the Flair-API. |
Deciding on the display format suitable for a particular model of the control panel, so that the intended image data can be converted to actual image data.
Converting touch panel operations to commands.
API stands for Application Programming Interface. An API is an interface that software modules use in order to communicate with each other.
The pre-installed applications and applications that can be additionally installed on the Smart Operation Panel can be classified into the following 3 categories.
System applications
Applications that operate in conjunction with multiple functions (operating regardless of the application)
Program applications
Applications that provide a single additional function
Widget applications

The CPU board has a CPU, memory, and a flash drive.
The Microcomputer board has various interfaces, Wi-Fi module and other devices.
The touch panel of this machine uses a 4-wire resistive film method (low load resistive film analog 4-wire method). It can detect two points for flick/drag/pinch-in/pinch-out operations. Resistive touch panel has been adopted in order to allow operation with a prosthetic hand.
Basic Structure
An analog 4-wire resistive film touch panel has 2 layers. Two materials (mainly film or glass) with transparent conductive film (ITO) are attached such that the transparent conductive film layers face each other.
When the film is pressed with a finger or a pen, the transparent conductive films contact each other and the touch panel operation is recognized.
Insulators (spacing dots) secure space between the two transparent conductive film layers to prevent short-circuiting.
Because the transparent conductive film has a uniform resistance characteristic, the resistance value reflects the distance of contact.
[A]: Spacing dot [B]: PET film
[C]: Transparent conductive film [D]: Base glass
[E]: LCD panel
Self-Check (multi-touch calibration) mechanism
With the Multi-touch calibration in the self-check function, the touch panel is automatically calibrated using the results of touches to the top left and bottom right positions.
The values of “EVR_X”, “EVR_Y”, “X_MAX”, and “Y_MAX” are used for internal processing. They do not indicate the positions or distance of the touched points. There is no problem unless there is a huge difference between the values of the first calibration and the second calibration.
Because this model of Smart Operation Panel has no hardware keys, the MFP exits from energy saving mode when the user does one of the following:
Touches the display panel
Lifts the ADF
Sets an original in the ADF
There are two screen startup modes. The factory default setting is Normal.
Normal
This is the standard startup mode. When the main power of the MFP is turned ON, the control panel starts up using less power compared to Quick mode.
Quick
By preparing for the next startup when the machine shuts down, the control panel starts up faster than in Normal mode.
Screen Startup Mode can be changed in Screen Features.
Select [Screen Features] > [SYSTEM] > [Screen Device Settings] > [Screen Startup Mode], and then select [Normal] or [Quick].
In the following cases, the control panel starts up in Normal mode even if [Quick] is selected.
The power cord has been disconnected from the power outlet after the last shutdown.
The MFP is turned ON after being turned OFF due to reasons such as a power failure.
The MFP was not properly shut down the last time it was turned OFF.
In Normal mode
The startup screen is displayed on the display panel, followed by the startup animation.
In Quick mode
The [Home] screen is displayed immediately after the main power of the MFP is turned ON. The startup screen displayed when starting in Normal mode is not displayed.
When Quick mode is selected, the MFP prepares for the next startup when it shuts down The main power indicator flashes during preparation for the next startup. The indicator turns off when preparation is completed.
If the MFP is turned ON during shutdown, the preparation for the next startup continues. When preparation for the next startup is completed, the control panel starts up in Quick mode.
When Quick mode is selected, the control panel starts up faster than in Normal mode but shutdown takes longer than in Normal mode.
The shutdown functions and their uses are as follows.
Shutdown mode | Use | Operation |
Normal Shutdown | Same as shutdown by users. | Turn the main power switch off. |
Forced shutdown | When normal shutdown does not complete even though you waited a long time. | Hold the main power switch 6 seconds or longer. |
Shutdown for parts replacement |
| Turn the main power switch off while holding down [Stop]. |
Shutdown for software update | When you are going to turn on the MFP within 5 minutes for updating the MFP firmware or package. (Use shutdown for parts replacement if you are updating the control panel firmware.) | Turn the main power switch off while holding down the [EX1] key. |
The MFP is equipped with a function to shut down safely in order to:
Prevent damage to the file systems in the HDD and the NAND flash memory.
Prevent paper from being left inside the body of the MFP (except when paper is jammed).
If the main power switch is a rocker switch, the shutdown process begins when the rocker switch is moved to the OFF position.
If the main power switch is a push switch, the shutdown process begins when the switch is pressed. To make a forced shutdown, press and hold the push switch for 6 seconds. However, if you force a shutdown during the shutdown process, data being processed may be lost. Forced shutdown is to be used to shut down the MFP without disconnecting the power cord when the shutdown process cannot be completed.
This MFP has two additional shutdown functions to facilitate maintenance.
Shutting down the MFP for parts replacement (Starting up in Normal mode when Quick mode is selected)
When Quick mode is selected, the MFP prepares for the next startup when it shuts down. This causes the shutdown process to take longer than when Normal mode is selected.
If you need to disconnect the power cord after shutdown in order to replace parts or for other reasons, you can use the following procedure to shut down the MFP just like you do in Normal mode. This shortens the time it takes to shut down the MFP.
Procedure
Turn the main power switch OFF while holding down the [Stop] key on the control panel. Continue to hold down the [Stop] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.
Shutting down the MFP for software updates (Shutting down the MFP with the control panel in Sleep mode)
If you are going to turn ON the MFP within 5 minutes, you can use the following procedure to shut down the MFP with the control panel in Sleep mode.
Procedure
Turn the main power switch OFF while holding down the [EX1] key. Continue to hold down the [EX1] key until the shutdown screen is displayed.
You must turn ON the MFP within 5 minutes.
If more than 5 minutes has elapsed after shutting down the MFP using the above procedure, the machine starts up in Normal mode even if Quick mode is selected.
Service program (SP) modes for the Smart Operation Panel are as follows:
Mode | Use | Notes |
SP Mode (MFP) | SP modes for the MFP (controller, engine) | The numeric keys are required to enter this mode. Display the soft keys of the GW application or of the SP mode. |
