Notes on Security when Using Wireless LAN
Important information on customer rights (maintaining privacy)
The advantage of using a wireless LAN over a LAN cable is that, because information is
exchanged using radio signals, you can easily connect to the network if you are within range of
the radio signals. A disadva
signals can pass through barriers such as walls, so that if security countermeasures are not
implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.
•Communication data can be intercepted
A third party may be able t
could obtain personal information from these transmissions such as IDs, passwords, or credit
card numbers, or they could intercept the contents of personal e-mail messages.
•Unauthorized access to the network
third party could access an individual or intra-company network without permission and
A
carry out any of the following activities.
Retrieve personal data or other secret information (information leakage)
Pose as another user and send inappropriate data (impersonation)
Overwrite the contents of intercepted data and resend it (falsification)
Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system crashes (damage)
Initially, the possibility that such problems could occur through settings concerning the
security of the wireless LAN product and by using the product are decreased, because the
wireless LAN card and the access point have security measures to deal with these problems.
We recommend that you use this product
judgement and assuming full responsibility, and with your full understanding of problems
that may occur if you do not make any security settings.
ntage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic

Notes on Setting SSID (Service Set Identifier)
For protection of security, note the following precautions when setting the SSID.
•Change the SSID from the default setting.
•Do not set texts by which the owner can be identified as the SSID.
Notes on Setting Cryptographic Key
For protection of security, note the following precautions when setting the cryptographic key.
•Avoid using words on a dictionary as practicably as possible.
•Combine meaningless alphanumeric characters and symbols.
•Use texts consisted of at least 13 characters or more or of 20 characters or more if possible.

Chapter 1 Product Overview
NV Memory (Non-Volatile Memory)
The printer's NV memory stores data even after the printer power is turned off. NV memory
contains the following memory areas for the user:
•NV graphics memory
•Memory switches (customized value)
•User-defined page
•Maintenance counter
As a guide, NV memory rewriting should be 10 times or less a day when you program
applications.
CAUTION
NV Graphics Memory
Graphics, such as shop logos to be printed on receipts, can be stored.
1
Use the TM-T88V Utility to register graphics.
Yo u can also print and confirm the registered graphics in the NV graphics memory print mode.
For detailed information about the TM-T88V Utility, see the TM-T88V Utility User’s
Manual.
For information about how to use the NV graphics memory print mode, see "NV
Graphics Print Mode" on page 147.
User-defined Page
Yo u can store character data in the user-defined page (character code table: page 255) so that you
can also print characters not resident in the printer.
Maintenance Counter
With this function, printer information, such as the number of line feeds, the number of autocuts,
and printer operation time after the printer starts working, is automatically stored in NV
memory. You can read the information with the TM-T88V Utility or in a self-test to use
periodical checks or part replacement.
