Wireless LAN Connection

Be aware of the following matters if using a wireless LAN connection.

The influence on the environment of radio wave radiation

This product is equipped with a certified Radio Frequency module for low-power data communication systems in accordance with the Radio Act. The electromagnetic energy radiated from this product is suppressed so that it is much lower than that of radio equipment like cell phones.
Under some situations and in certain environments, the use of this product is sometimes limited by the owner of the building or a representative with responsibility for the group. If you do not understand the radio device usage policy in a specific group or environment, such as an airport, ask permission before using this product.

The influence on the human body of radio wave radiation

The output power radiated from the Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product is much lower than the radiation limit specified in the safety standard. However, it is best to avoid allowing this product to contact your body during usual operation. When using this product, be especially careful not to touch the antenna on the back.

Cautions about Interference

This product generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Perform adjustments so that the unit does not use the same channel as other wireless LAN devices nearby.
Keep the following points in mind when using the Wireless LAN unit in an environment with devices that
generate radio interference, such as a kitchen microwave.
Install the printer as far away from devices that generate radio interference as possible.
Use channels that are away from the frequency bands that may cause radio wave influence.
Install a shielding plate between the printer and a device that generates radio interference.
Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, whichever is free from radio wave interference.
When setting the auto-channel of the access point, be sure to set it so it does not generate radio interference.
If the Radio Frequency module in this product does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna for radio/TV.

Cautions Regarding Wireless LAN Connections

Because not all the combinations of the product and wireless LAN devices have been checked for operation, the operation of the product in combination with all the wireless LAN devices is not guaranteed.

Cautions about Security

Important Cautions about Your Privacy Protection
The advantage of using a wireless LAN over a LAN cable is that, because information is exchanged using radio signals, you can easily connect to the network if you are within range of the radio signals. A disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, so that if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.
Communicated data can be intercepted
A third party may be able to receive wireless transmissions without authorization, and they could obtain personal information from these transmissions such as IDs, passwords, or credit card numbers, or they could intercept the contents of personal e-mail messages.
Unauthorized access to the network
A third party could access an individual or intra-company network without permission and carry out any of the following activities.
Retrieve personal data or other secret information (information leakage)
Pose as another user and send inappropriate data (impersonation)
Overwrite the contents of intercepted data and resend it (falsification)
Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system crashes (damage)
Security Settings
The wireless LAN card and access point have a security settings function to deal with these problems. You can reduce the possibility these problems will occur by performing security settings before use.
Even with security settings, there is a possibility the security can be breached using particular methods. We recommend that you have full understanding regarding security problems and perform security settings at your own judgment and liability.
Security settings are performed immediately after purchase (Initial setting: WPA2-PSK).
Limitations
You cannot stop the transmission of radio waves. If you need to stop the transmission of radio waves, turn off the TM printer.

Notes on Setting SSID (Service Set Identifier)
For protection of security, note the following precautions when setting the SSID.
Change the SSID from the default setting.
Do not set texts by which the owner can be identified as the SSID.
Notes on Setting Cryptographic Key
For protection of security, note the following precautions when setting the cryptographic key.
Avoid using words on a dictionary as practicably as possible.
Combine meaningless alphanumeric characters and symbols.
Use texts consisted of at least 13 characters or more or of 20 characters or more if possible.

Configuring the Settings via Wireless LAN Connection
Connect the printer and the computer used to configure the settings to wireless LAN. If you make a mistake when configuring the settings, communication might not be possible. If that happens, you will not be able to check or reset the settings.
Chapter 2 Setup
If you also want to set up an access point, configure it in advance and check that it works properly.

Network Settings

There are three ways to configure the network for this product.
Method 1: Set up using EpsonNet Config
This method involves installing the network configuration tool, EpsonNet Config, on your computer for setting. As it does not require any settings in advance to allow set up, you can easily perform set up using a computer already connected to the network. To download EpsonNet Config, see
Method 2: Set up using EpsonNet Config (Web version)
This method involves opening the Web application equipped in the UB-R05 from a Web browser to perform settings.
Because you specify the printer's IP address to open it, you need to set your computer to the same network segment as the printer.
With EpsonNet Config (Web version), you can set more items than with EpsonNet Config.
"Download" on page 34.
Method 3: Set up using arp/ping commands (for wired LAN connection only)
This method involves setting the printer's IP address in the setting computer's arp/ping commands, then using the setting tool to change the other settings.

Printing to a TM printer

The UB-R05 is equipped with LPR protocol as a general printing protocol. It is easy to print by using LPR because the printing is also supported by the operating system.
The printer status cannot be acquired because LPR is one-way communication.
The UB-R05 supports direct printing via the 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.

/* send data */ send(sock, "EPSON UB-R05\n", 13, 0);
/* close socket */ close(sock);
return 0;
}
37
Chapter 4 Programming Samples

Monitoring of the ASB Status

The ASB status function of the printer is used for the UB-R05 to monitor the state of the printer. Therefore, when the transmission data from the application includes the command to nullify the ASB status function, the UB-R05 cannot control the state of the printer.
Take care not to transmit the command to nullify the ASB status function to monitor the state of the printer correctly by the UB-R05. Or retransmit the command that makes the ASB status function effective again.

Multiple connection requests

The UB-R05 permits up to 6 connection requests, regardless of the LPR/Port9100 protocol. However, only the first connection received can actually print to the TM printer, and any other connection requests will go into standby until the connection currently printing is closed.
In an environment where multiple connection requests occur, if the printing host does not close the connection and leaves it open even after printing is finished, or the connection is cut off due to some error without performing close processing, then all other connection requests will not be processed until the connection time-out occurs.
Arrange the application so that the connection is closed immediately after printing is completed.
You can set the connection time-out using the network configuration tool (EpsonNet Config). The default is 90 sec.

Chapter 6 Product Specifications

Product Specifications

This chapter describes the specifications of the UB-R05.

Software Specifications

Supported Protocols

The UB-R05 supports the following protocols.
Protocol Explanation
IP, ARP, ICMP, UDP, TCP Basic transmission protocols for various functions. (They are used by the
various following higher protocols.)
LPR, TCP Socket Port Protocols for printing.
DHCP, APIPA Protocols used to automatically set information such as the IP address.
SNMP, ENPC Protocols used to acquire product information.
HTTP/HTTPS Protocols used in the Web browser performing product settings.
Protocols for printing with ePOS-Print.
DNS, DDNS, mDNS (Bonjour)
SNTP Protocols for time synchronization
Protocols for name resolution.

Printing Protocols

The UB-R05 uses the following printing protocols.
LPR: Transfers print data.
Port number 515
Maximum simultaneous connections
Number of connections that can print
6
1 (Other users must wait until the printing has completed.)
Timeout Default: Approx. 90 sec.
Can be set using the network configuration tool (EpsonNet Config).

Can be set using the network configuration tool (EpsonNet Config).

Automatic IP Address Assignment Protocols

The UB-R05 supports DHCP and APIPA, the protocols that assign an IP Address automatically. Automatic IP address assignment is performed with the protocols in the order of descending priorities shown in the table below. If automatic assignment with one protocol results in "disabled" or "failure," the subsequent protocol is used.
Protocol Priority Explanation
DHCP 1 Demands the assignments of the IP address, the subnet mask and the
getaway address to the DHCP server and sets them.
APIPA 2 Assign only IP address from following IP addresses.
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.253.255
In this case, it is not possible to communicate on the network outside the router.
Manual assignment
3 When the automatic IP address assignment protocol is set to unused, the
manually controlled address is set.
UB-R04 and UB-R05 behave differently when the acquisition of an IP address fails. When DHCP is enabled and APIPA is disabled, they behave as described below.
UB-R04: Continues to wait until an IP address is assigned by DHCP.UB-R05: Forces a fixed IP address (192.168.192.168).
When this occurs, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 and the default gateway is 0.0.0.0. These settings are enabled until the printer is turned off.
