Part Names

Push button USB connector

The following view shows the part names of the UB-R03.

Note: This photograph shows the TM-T88IV printer with the UB-R03 installed.

DIP Switches

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

How to Set Up the UB-R03

You can set the UB-R03 with the wireless LAN connection or USB connection by using
one of the following methods. For details, see the UB-R03 Technical Reference Guide.

Wireless LAN USB

Using a Web browser Supported Not supported

Using the TMNetWinConfig Ver. 3.0 Supported Supported

Preparation

For wireless LAN connection

Printing a Status Sheet

Power on the printer. Wait for about 10 seconds. Then hold down the push button on the
interface board for more than 3 seconds. The printer prints the parameters for the UB­R03. You can check all setting values necessary (SSID, Network mode, IP address, Subnet
mask, Gateway address) for the network connection.

4

Connection

Set the setting of the host PC and AP 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 wireless printers are the same, you should power on and
configure only one printer at a time.

For USB connection

Connect the USB cable and turn on the printer power.

Note:

Connect the USB cable only when setting. USB connection is available only for setting
parameters.

Resetting the UB-R03 to Factory Defaults

Turn on printer power while holding down the push button on the interface board and
continue to hold it down for about 10 seconds until a message starting initialization is
printed out. This causes all internal settings to return to their factory defaults.

Setup

Using a Web browser

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

2. Input the IP address of the UB-R03 in the browser address bar and press Enter

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

3. You can modify the parameters by following the menus. You must click Submit to

send the change to the printer. If you have set a password, the browser displays a
dialog box requesting a user name and password. In this case, you need to input user
name “epson” and the password you set, and then click OK.

4. To make the submission effective, you must click Reset on the Web page that is

displayed after the submission. If you change the IP address, SSID, etc., you have to
change the setting of the host PC and AP to match the printer’s setting.

Using the TMNetWinConfig (version 3.0)

The TMNetWinConfig (version 3.0) and the UB-R03 Technical Reference Guide are
necessary for setup. Obtain them from the appropriate web site below:

For customers from North America, go to the following web site:
