Installation - Type IV

Installation Steps forInstalling EthernetAdapter (Type IV)
The Type IV module (UB-E02, UB-E03, UB-E04 or similar) is the latest type of Connect-It Ethernetadapter. The module can be set by accessing it directly using a web browser orby a configuration utility. This type of module can also act as a device typePrint server to be used by more than 1 computer.

Installing and Setting theConnect-It Ethernet Adapter (Type IV)
Install the Connect-It Ethernet adapter into the Epson TM series printer


The Type IV adapter can replace the existing adapter andis held in place by 2 screws.

If changing a printer to Ethernet you must change the specific dip switch on theEpson printer to allow for the Ethernet card.

(Key: DIP SW2-8 On: refers toslide switch number 8, on switch bank 2, is turned On)


Cabling
Use a regular LAN patch cord to connect the printer to the LAN.

RJ-45 Female (connectoron computer and adapter end)

Ethernet cards useCAT5/6 patch cords

Tip: You can directly connect a printerwith an Ethernet interface to a computer using a crossovercable (not the same as a patch cable). This special cable allows youto bypass using a router or switch to connect a computer to aprinter for testing. To use this setup set the IP address of thecomputer and the printer statically, both in the same sub domain,with different addresses.


Connect a computer directly to an Ethernet printer usinga crossover cable

For example if the printer was set to192.168.192.168, the computer could be set to 192.168.192.167. After proper set-up you should be able to open and talk to the printerdirectly. Just enter the IP address (192.168.192.168 in this example) ofthe printer using a browser.

Getting initialprinter andEthernet adapter settings (Type IV)
Get the initial settings of the Ethernet adapter. Run the printer self test (hold downthe feed button while turning on the printer). The printer will print a list ofinitial settings including interface type and buffer capacity. verify that theinterface is 'Ethernet'

A similar test can then be done on the UB-E03, UB-E04 adapter by inserting a paperclip through the small hole in theadapter for 3 seconds.

A strip will print showing the MACaddress, Gateway (GW), IP address and IP assignment method (manual/auto).

Changing the IP Address of theAdapter
Now comes the tricky part. To be able to change the IP address on the adapteryou need to be able to connect with it. To do this you most likely need tochange the IP address of your computer to a value that makes the adapteraccessible. You can then connect to the adapter, make the change to the adapter,then return the computer back to it's original settings.

Note: the mPOS version of the UB-E03, UB-E04 Ethernet cardsare set to DHCP and will try to find an available IP address on its own the firsttime it appears on your network. If successful, it will print out the IPaddress it is using. If the address is acceptable to you then skip tosection about Configuring theComputer for work with the Ethernet card.

LOGIN INFORMATION - Epson UB-E04 Cards alsorequire you to enter a user name and password.
The default values are epson / epson

Resetting the Adapter
You can reset the UB-E03, UB-E04 Ethernet Interface card to factory defaults by holdingdown the push button on the card (see arrow above) while turning on the printerpower and continuing to hold it down for 5 seconds. This causes all internalsettings to return to their factory defaults. For the older UB-E02 cards, holdthe push button down after the printer is on for 30 seconds.

Setting the IP Address on yourComputer
In Windows you can access the wired Ethernetadapter in the 'Network Connections' applet in the Windows Control Panels(Internet Protocol/TCP/IP properties, allow you to enter an IP address.) Make anote of the existing settings, you'll be returning to those settings when yourdone. Set the IP address to an address in the same domain as the adapter. Forexample of the adapter shows an IP address of 172.16.10.63 you could change thecomputer to 172.16.10.2. Do not set the computer to the same address asthe Ethernet adapter on the printer. You might have to reset the computer's adapter for the newsettings to take place.

Logging onto the Adapter usingTMNet WebConfig (Type II or TypeIV)
TMNet web configuration allows you to accessthe adapter via your network using a web browser. Generally speaking the adaptermust be in the same sub domain as the computer to be able to log on(see previous section for how to configure the PCto the same subdomain)

Using a web browser such as InternetExplorer you should now be able to connect to the adapter by enteringthe IP address of the adapter directly into the address bar of thebrowser. The TMNet General Information page show open.
To change the IP address, select'TCP/IP' under 'Configuration.' You can enter a new IP address andgateway address.

Press the 'Submit' button when done

The 'Submit' button with writesettings to the printer. The Ethernet adapter is reset when you pressthe 'Reset' button.

Setting the IP Address usingTMNet WinConfig (Type IV)
To use the UB-E03, UB-E04 with TCP/IP, you first need to set its IP address. You can setthe IP address by using the EPSON TMNet WinConfig or arp/ping command.

Running the TMNet WinNet configurationutilityon the Computer
Once connected you can run the TMNet configuration utility to view or changethe settings on the Ethernet card.

To obtain the TMNet configurationutility from Epson:

  1. You may have to re-enable your wired LANport to download the EpsonTMNetWinConfig utility.

  2. Download and Install Epson’sTMNetWinConfig available fromwww.epson.com

  3. Click on TECHNICAL RESOURCES

  4. Select Ethernet INTERFACES under the CONNECT-IT INTERFACES

  5. Click the download iconfor the TMNetWinConfig

Setting the IP Address using EPSON TMNet WinConfig
1. Set the TCP/IP of your operating system.
2. Install the EPSON TMNet WinConfig.
3. Set the IP address using EPSON TMNet WinConfig.

The utility will scan for andshould list the Ethernet printer.

Select the printer and pressConfiguration to view or change settings. (Pressing the Launch Browser buttonwill contact the TMNet WebConfig interface using your web browser.)

When you make changes and press 'OK' theutility sends the new settings to the printer and resets the printer. Note: thedefault password is <blank>. Don'tforget to make the same changes on the computer side to maintain connectivity.

Configuration - Type II

Note: The Ethernet III module only supports 9600, 19200 and 38400 baudrates.
Theprinter and the Ethernet III module must have the same baud rates to communicate.

Get the initial settings of the Printer
Run the printer self test (hold down the feed button while turning on theprinter). The printer will print a list of initial settings including interfacetype and buffer capacity. Verify that the interface is 'serial' for this type ofEthernet adapter and that the baud rate is the same as is set on the card.If necessary, change the baud rate on the printer (using theDIP switches) or the baud rate on the module(using jumpers), so they agree.

Get the initial settings of the Ethernet Adapter Card
Turn off power on printer. Change the dip switch 1 to ON. Turn printer on. The printer will print a list ofincluding MAC address, current IP address and DIP switch and jumper settings.
Note: if you want to enable DHCP for this card, you must place a jumperon JP3. JP3 is located on the circuit board near the large black connector. DHCPstands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a network service thatautomatically assigns IP addresses to devices.

Resetting the card to default settings
You can reset the Ethernet card to it'sdefault settings by placing a small jumper across two pins while powercycling the card.
  1. Locate the two position jumper closest to the metal plate(see arrows).

  2. Placea jumper at position 1 (JP1) across the two pins adjacent to the metalplate.

  3. Install the card in the printer.

  4. Turn power on. Wait for printer torespond - it should print a test sheet.

  5. Turn the printer off.

  6. Remove the card from the printer and thejumper from the card. The card should now be reset to its default settings.

Installation Steps(Type II or Type III)

1. Disconnect power and other cables from the EPSON printer, andremove the printer DIP switch cover plate.
2. Remove the existing interface board from the printer by unscrewing 2 screws.
3. Properly align and push the new module into the printer. Fasten the twomounting screws through the faceplate of the new interface.
4. Set DIP switches as necessary; then attach the access cover.
5. Connect the power cable to the printer and apply power. Attach network cable.
6. Run a configuration report. This shows that the printer, module, and firmwareare all installed and operating correctly and shows how the communicationparameters are set.

Running a Configuration Report(Type II or Type III)

To Run the Config Report

  1. Power on the printer,

  2. Open the papercover,

  3. press the FEED button,

  4. Close the paper cover.

The configuration report will nowprint. It should include information such as the MAC address, the IP address andthe gateway address. After printing, don't forget to return DIP switch 1 to theoff position.

For the EPSON TM-U200 printer:
Set DIP switch 1 on the Ethernet Moduleto ON and power up the unit. After report has printed, power off unit and returnDIP switch to the OFF position.

Configuring the Interface(Type II or Type III)
Each Epson Ethernet Interface module has a 'Base'MACAddress programmed into the it. A unique MAC Address and a SerialNumber are programmed into the Flash ROM at the factory, and cannot be changed.Labels with both the MAC address and serial number are affixed to the module.These numbers are important when configuring the adapter- It is advisable to make anote of these values in a secure place.

The Internet or IP address can beset using the web interface or Epson EEI utility. It can be dynamically reassigned via DHCP, BOOTP, or ARP/Ping.

High Level Configuration
Option 1 (Ethernet II only): Using a web browser, type the default IP address(found on a label on the interface card) into the address field of your webbrowser. The configuration screen should appear. The default password for theinterface is Epson. We highly recommend this be changed. Once the web interfaceis running, all application, network, printer and password settings can bemodified.

Option 2 (Ethernet II or Ethernet III): Use theEpson Ethernet Interface Configuration Program for this series of adapter, EEIUtil.exe, The program will discover all Epson Ethernet printers onyour network and allow you to reconfigure them. Note: the TMNetWinConfig is notcompatible with this model of adapter.

Important: If you areassigning a permanent IP address to the Epson printer, it is advised that dipswitch 8 on the interface module by switched to off once the address has beenset.

Installing the Device Driversfor Windows
