Getting started 8 Feature Device solution Custom home screen support Yes Job confirmation customization Contained in solution script Example included as LDD SDK TestMFP template Client software solution No Contained in solution script Hybrid solution Yes Contained in eSF application TestSNS TestHybrid Note: The included source code of the eSF application file can be compiled only with the eSF SDK, not the LDD SDK. Version compatibility of workflow solutions Solutions developed for LDD 4.4 or 4.5 are compatible with an LDD 4.6 system without modification. Solutions developed for LDD 4.6 are not compatible with an LDD 4.5 or older system without modification. Understanding components A component is a Java application built on the Spring Framework that is used to provide extended functionality to workflow solutions. What is the LDD SDK? The LDD SDK is a group of plug‑ins included with Lexmark Document Distributor for the Eclipse IDE, which is available from http://www.eclipse.org. The SDK provides tools for creating solutions for Lexmark Document Distributor, allowing you to write scripts, edit solution settings and device policies, develop components, and package finished solutions. Minimum system requirements Category Operating system Processor RAM Hard disk drive space Video Requirement Any of the following: • Windows Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise Edition • Windows Server 2003 Standard or Enterprise Edition with SP2 • Windows XP Professional with SP2 or SP3 2GHz 1GB 400MB, including space for JDK, Eclipse IDE, and LDD SDK Capable of displaying 1024 x 768 or higher resolution
