2. Execute the commands as described in the following steps.
Note:
Be sure to execute the commands within 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, you must restart the commands from
the beginning.
3. Make the connection between the IP address which you want to set and the MAC address of
the UB-E02 by executing an arp command.
• From the command line, type: arp-s [IP address] [MAC address]
Example using DOS: arp-s 192.168.100.201 00-00-48-83-00-00
Example using UNIX: arp-s 192.168.100.201 00:00:48:83:00:00
CAUTION:
When the UB-E02 is installed on the printer and the MAC address on the label on the
UB-E02 cannot be seen for sure, turn off the printer and then remove the UB-E02 to
confirm it.
Note:
The MAC address can be found on the status sheet or a label on the UB-E02. For printing the status sheet,
refer to the Initializing UB-E02 and Status Sheet Printing section in Chapter 2.
Rev. A Utilities 3-11
4. Set the IP address to the UB-E02 using the ping command.

4.1 Method of Printing to the UB-E02
The UB-E02 has lpr protocol as its general print protocol. It is easy to print by using the lpr
protocol because the printing is also supported by the operating system.
However, the command statuses sent by the printer are ignored because the printing by lpr
applies only to the output of the printer.
The UB-E02 supports direct printing by TCP PORT9100. It is possible to control the printer
directly by an application with the ESC/POS commands through writing and reading to the
TCP PORT9100.
4.1.1 Buffer of the UB-E02
This is an image of the buffer. The buffer sent from the host computer to the TM printer is 16 KB.
The buffer sent from the TM printer to the host computer is 512 bytes.

4.3 Commands Sent to a TM Printer When the Power is On
When the power is turned on, the UB-E02 transmits the following commands to the TM printer
and maintains the statuses. The UB-E02 acquires printer information by GS I and monitors the
printer status through the TMNet WebConfig using the GS a 255 command.
ESC/POC command descriptions:
• GS I 1: printer ID
• GS I 2: printer type ID
• GS I 3: printer ROM version ID
• GS a FFh: Enables ASB status
Note:
When the power is turned off or the printer is off-line, the commands above are not transmitted.
4.4 Monitoring of the ASB status
The UB-E02 monitors the ASB statuses transmitted from TM printers to control the printer
statuses from host computers. The printer can know the statuses by remote using the TMNet
WinConfig or the TMNet WebConfig.
If the printing data includes commands that disable the ASB such as ESC @ and GS a 00h, the
ASB status from the TM printer will not be transmitted afterward when the printer status is
changed and the UB-E02 cannot monitor the status of the TM printer.
To monitor the printer status, when there is a command that disables the ASB in a data string
sent by an application to the TM printer, transmit a command that enables the ASB.
4.5 The Priorities of Printing
The UB-E02 permits up to 3 requests of connecting regardless of the lpr/port9100 protocol.
Printing by the TM printer is given the first priority. Data transmission is blocked for other
requests until the first connection is closed (explicit close or close by time-out).
4.6 Time-out for Connection
If there is no data transmitted from the host for 5 minutes, regardless of the protocol, lpr/
port9100, the UB-E02 closes the connection. To continue the connection, the host needs to send
the UDP command explicitly.

2. Using a browser
3. Using arp and ping commands (only to set IP address)
5.5.5.3 Setting with Exclusive utility
Settings cannot be made by the specified application software when the ENPC protocol is used.
A dedicated utility which can set miscellaneous with the ENPC protocol is provided by EPSON.
5.5.5.4 Setting with Browser
Setting can be made by an HTTP browser when connected to the module. The new IP address
takes effect when the printer power is turned off and back on.
5.5.5.5 Setting the IP Address with arp + ping
This function is available when it has been enabled.
The setting can be made from a host in the same segment as the module.
The host must support both arp and ping commands.
The new IP address takes effect when the module responds to the ping command.
Example-1: using SunOS
arp -s 123.456.789.123 00:00:48:06:00:01 temp
ping 123.456.789.123
