appropriate settings. Set the reset signal for pin 31 to “enable,” if you are using a TM printer that has this
setting. See the manual for each TM printer for details.

Preparation

❏

For wireless LAN connection

• Printing a Status Sheet

Power on the printer. Wait for about 20 seconds. Then hold down the push button on the interface
board for more than 3 seconds. The printer prints the parameters for the UB-R04. You can check
all setting values necessary (SSID, Network mode, IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway address) for
the network connection.

• Factory Default Settings

The table below shows the UB-R04 default settings.

Parameters Settings

Communication standard 802.11b/g/n
Network mode Infrastructure mode
SSID EpsonNet
WPA certification WPA2-Personal
Encryption method AES
Passphrase EpsonNet

• 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.
