Switches

When using this interface board, the DIP switches of the TM printer must be set to “parallel” with the appropriate settings. Set the reset signal for pin 31 to “enabled” if you are using a TM printer that has this setting. Refer to the manual for your TM printer for details.

For the TM-T90/L90/J7000/J7100/J7500/J7600 printers, set the reset signal for pin 25 of the memory switches to “enabled.” For new models, please ask the dealer where you purchased your product.

Connecting the Cables

1. Make sure both the printer and the host computer are turned off.

2. Plug the 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX cable connector securely into the UB-E03’s 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet connector until you feel it click.

When the UB-E03 is installed, a customer display connector on the TM printer cannot be used.

3. Connect the power supply cable to the printer.

CAUTION:

❏

Do not connect a telephone line, a display module cable, or a drawer kick cable to the UB-E03’s 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet connector.

❏

Connecting an outdoor over head LAN cable directly to your product may lead to lightning damage. If you need to connect such a cable to your product, the cable must be protected against an electrical surge between the cable and your product. You should avoid connecting your product to a non-surge protected outdoor overhead LAN cable.

How to Set Up the UB-E03

Preparation

Printing a Status Sheet

Power on the printer. Then, hold down the push button on the interface card for more than 3 seconds. The printer prints the parameters for the UB-E03. You can check all setting values necessary (IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway address) for the network connection.

Connection

Set the setting of the host PC to match the network setting that you have confirmed with the status sheet.

You can check whether the connection to the printer has been correctly done by inputting the ping command through the command prompt.

Example: Ping 192.168.192.168

Note:

Although the example shows the address 192.168.192.168, use whatever IP address is reported on the status sheet.

Because the default IP addresses for all the printers are the same, you should power on and configure only one printer at a time.

Resetting the UB-E03 to Factory Defaults

Hold down the push button on the interface card while turning on printer power and continue to hold it down until a message that initialization starts is printed (approximately for 10 seconds). This causes all internal settings to return to their factory defaults.

Setup

There are two ways for the setup. For details, see the UB-E03 Technical Reference Guide. ❏ Using a Web browser

1. Start Windows Internet Explorer (or your Web browser.)

2. Input the IP address of the UB-E03 in the browser address bar and press

Enter (Example: http://192.168.192.168 [default]).

3. The browser displays an opening screen.

4. You can modify the parameters by following the menus. You must click

Submit to send the change to the printer and then click Reset to make the submission effective on each Web page. If you change the IP address, etc., you have to change the setting of the host PC to match the printer’s setting.

❏ Using the EpsonNet Config

The EpsonNet Config is utility for Windows to make network settings on a TM printer with an Ethernet interface and a wireless LAN interface.
