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. See the manual for each TM printer for details.
Note:
When using the UB-R04 with the following printers and firmware, be sure that DIP switch 1-8 is set to ON.
• TM-T88V Firmware version 30.21 ESC/POS and earlier
• TM-H6000IV (Standard model) Firmware version 20.04 ESC/POS and earlier
• TM-H6000IV (Validation model) Firmware version 21.04 ESC/POS and earlier
• TM-H2000 Firmware version 1.51 ESC/POS and earlier

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.
2
Resetting the UB-R04 to Factory Defaults
1. Turn on the printer power while holding down the push button on the interface board and
continue to hold it down. A message that printer initialization has started is printed out after
approximately 30 seconds.
2. Continue holding down the push button until the status sheet printing is completed; all
internal settings return to their factory defaults (initial settings).
Setup
❏
Using a Web browser
1. Start Windows Internet Explorer (or your Web browser).
2. Input the IP address of the UB-R04 in the browser address bar and press Enter (Example: http://
192.168.192.168, or https://192.168.192.168 [default]).
3. In the Password authentification screen, enter "epson" for [user], and "epson" for [password].
(Defaults)
4. *The user name is fixed to "epson," but the password is changeable.
5. You can modify the parameters by following the menus. You must click Submit to send the
change to the printer.
6. 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.

and USB printer class.
When using the printer in environments where kitchen microwaves and other devices that may interfere
radio waves are installed, observe the following points.
1. Keep the printer away from the decices that may cause radio wave interference.
2. Use channels that are away from the frequency bands that may cause radio wave
interference.
3. Place shields between the printer and the decices that may cause radio wave interference.
4. Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, whichever is free from radio wave interference.
5. In auto channel setting for the access point, do not select a channel in which the printer may
cause radio wave interference.
Notes on Using Wireless LAN
