The influence on the environment of radio wave radiation
❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product radiates the same high
frequency energy as some other high frequency devices but the level of the energy radiated
from it is suppressed so that it is much lower than the electromagnetic energy radiated from
radio equipment like cell phones.
❏ Under some situations and in certain environments, the use of this equipment is sometimes
limited by the owner of the building or a representative with responsibility for the group.
For example, it may be restricted in the following case:
• Use in an environment where it may cause interference with other devices and services.
❏ If you do not understand the radio device usage policy in a specific group or environment,
such as an airport, ask permission before turning on the power of this product.
Note about interference
❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
❏ If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
• Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
❏ Never disassemble or modify this product or the installed Radio Frequency module.
❏ Seiko Epson Corporation shall not be liable for interference to radio/TV resulting from
changes or modifications to this product or the installed Radio Frequency module not
expressly approved by Seiko Epson Corporation.
❏ Other radio equipment sometimes uses the same frequency band that this unit uses. To
prevent radio wave interference with other radio equipment, pay attention to the following
matters when you use this product:
• The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product uses the Industrial
Scientific and Medical band (2.4 GHz), DS-SS modulation, and the interference distance
is 40 m.
ii Rev. D
TM-P60 Technical Reference Guide
• Other equipment that uses the same frequency band used by the Radio Frequency
module that can be installed in this product includes equipment for industry, science
and medical treatment, microwave ovens, HomeRF, and radio and other broadcasting
equipment (both ones that require a license and ones that do not require a license).
• Confirm that radio and other broadcasting equipment are not used nearby before using
this product.
• When trouble occurs, for example, if the Radio Frequency module causes problems such
as radio wave interference, consult your dealer.
Note about security
This section describes security concerns when using a wireless LAN by using the Radio
Frequency module that can be installed in this product. Please also see “Wireless LAN Security”
in Appendix F.
Security is important for the protection of the user’s privacy
A wireless LAN has the advantage that information can be exchanged by using radio waves
instead of a cable. However, radio waves are not confined to a cable and can be received in a
fairly wide area and through obstacles such as walls, so if security is not used, the following
problems may occur.
❏ Communication data can be received by stealth.
A third person can receive private communication data by intercepting the radio waves
intentionally. Such a person could receive items such as the following:
• Personal information, such a an ID and password or credit card number
• The contents of e-mail.
• Data which is communicated between the PC and printer.
❏ Illegal access
A third person can access the network and cause damage such as the following:
• Personal information and secret information can be removed.
• Invalid information can be sent as if it were from a legitimate user of the network.
• Intercepted communication contents can be re-written and sent.
• Data and the system can be destroyed by an electronic virus.
This product, the wireless LAN card, and the access point have security mechanisms to counter
these problems. If you use the security settings for this product, you can nearly eliminate these
problems.
In some cases, the wireless LAN equipment is not set up before it is sold to the user. Therefore,
to attempt to prevent security problems, always use all the security settings for the wireless
LAN equipment according to the manual.
Rev. D iii
The security functions, however, cannot guarantee 100% security. Please understand this when
you use this product.
When you cannot set the security by yourself, please ask your dealer.
Seiko Epson Corporation suggests that the security setting is set by the judgment and the
responsibility of user after understanding the possible problems resulting from using this
product without the security settings.

NOTICE
This device conforms to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC WARNING
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
Canada
This device conforms to IC, Low Power License-Exempt Radio Communication Devices (RSS-210).
The information such as Certification No., Model Name, and Manufacturer Name are described on the surface of the
module.
SAR
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless
devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels
of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by
additional research. The TM-P60 has been tested and found to comply with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for
uncontrolled equipment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. The
maximum SAR value tested for the TM-P60 has been shown to be 0.144W/kg at the body.

Note:
A printer may beep when turned on. It is caused by the Access point’s LAN setting not corresponding to
the printer. Ignore the beeping. (see “3.2.1 Beeping Types” (page 3-2) for the beeping pattern.)
When you use OPOS (OCX driver from EPSON) or the Advanced Printer Driver, you need to install the
driver. When you use ESC/POS commands, you don’t have to install drivers. For information on these
drivers, see “D.1 Control Method” (page D-1).
The following sections describe the setup.
