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.
Increase the separation between this product and radio/TV.
Connect this product to an outlet different from the outlet the TV or radio is connected to.
Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

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.

arp -d (IP address)
E.g.) arp -d 192.168.0.10
Add the printer's MAC address and the IP address you want to set to the ARP table.
2
arp -s (IP address) (MAC address)
E.g.) arp -s 192.168.0.10 00-26-AB-7B-00-00
Execute the ping command and enable settings.
3
ping (IP address you want to set)
E.g.) ping 192.168.0.10
When a message like "Reply From 192.168.0.10: Bytes=32 Time < 10ms TTL=255" is displayed, the IP
address setting is complete.
If this method is used to configure the settings, Set IP Address Using ARP + Ping is disabled.
Use EpsonNet Config or EpsonNet Config (Web version) for settings other than the IP address.
How to check Set IP Address Using ARP + Ping
For EpsonNet Config (Web version), check the value in [Configuration] - [Network] - [TCP/IP]
- [IPv4 Address].

Monitoring of the ASB status (Page 38)
Multiple connection requests (Page 38)
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.

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.

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.
