Installation Steps for Installing Ethernet Adapter
(Blazon IV)
The Blazon 4 module (UB-E02, UB-E03, UB-E04 or similar) is the latest type of Connect-Information technology Ethernet adapter. The module tin be fix by accessing it directly using a spider spider web browser or past a configuration utility. This type of module can as well act every bit a device type Print server to be used by more than 1 calculator.

Installing and Setting the Connect-It Ethernet Adapter
(Type four)
Install the Connect-It Ethernet adapter into the Epson TM serial printer

The Type IV adapter can supersede the existing adapter and is held in identify past two screws.

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

Cabling
Utilise a regular LAN patch string to connect the printer to the LAN.

RJ-45 Female

(connector on computer and adapter cease)

Ethernet cards utilise CAT5/6 patch cords

Tip: Yous can straight connect a printer with an Ethernet interface to a figurer using a
crossover

cablevision (non the aforementioned equally a patch cablevision). This special cablevision allows you to bypass using a router or switch to connect a computer to a printer for testing. To use this setup set the IP address of the figurer and the printer statically, both in the same sub domain, with unlike addresses.

Connect a calculator straight to an Ethernet printer using a crossover cable

For example if the printer was set to 192.168.192.168, the estimator could be set up to 192.168.192.167.

After proper prepare-up yous should be able to open and talk to the printer directly. Simply enter the IP address (192.168.192.168 in this instance) of the printer using a browser.

Getting initial printer and Ethernet adapter settings

(Type 4)
Get the initial settings of the Ethernet adapter. Run the printer self exam (concur downwardly the feed button while turning on the printer). The printer will impress a list of initial settings including interface blazon and buffer capacity. verify that the interface is “Ethernet”

A similar exam tin can and so be done on the UB-E03, UB-E04 adapter by inserting a paperclip through the small pigsty in the adapter for 3 seconds.

A strip volition print showing the MAC address, Gateway (GW), IP accost and IP assignment method (manual/auto).

Irresolute the IP Address of the Adapter

Now comes the tricky role. To be able to change the IP address on the adapter y’all need to be able to connect with information technology. To do this y’all most likely need to modify the IP accost of your figurer to a value that makes the adapter accessible. You can then connect to the adapter, brand the change to the adapter, and then return the calculator back to it’s original settings.

Notation: the mPOS version of the UB-E03, UB-E04 Ethernet cards are set to DHCP and will endeavor to detect an available IP accost on its ain the get-go fourth dimension information technology appears on your network. If successful, information technology will impress out the IP address it is using. If the address is acceptable to y’all then skip to section about

Resetting the Adapter

You can reset the UB-E03, UB-E04 Ethernet Interface card to manufacturing plant defaults by holding downwards the push push on the card (run across arrow above) while turning on the printer power and standing to hold it down for five seconds. This causes all internal settings to return to their factory defaults. For the older UB-E02 cards, hold the push button down afterwards the printer is on for xxx seconds.

Setting the IP Accost on your Computer
In Windows you can admission the wired Ethernet adapter in the “Network Connections” applet in the Windows Command Panels (Net Protocol/TCP/IP properties, let you lot to enter an IP address.) Brand a note of the existing settings, you’ll exist returning to those settings when your done. Set the IP accost to an accost in the aforementioned domain equally the adapter. For example of the adapter shows an IP address of 172.sixteen.x.63 yous lot could change the calculator to 172.sixteen.10.ii.
Do not fix the reckoner to the same address equally the Ethernet adapter on the printer.
Y’all might take to reset the figurer’southward adapter for the new settings to accept identify.

Logging onto the Adapter using TMNet Web

Config
(Blazon 2 or Type 4)TMNet spider web configuration allows yous to access the adapter via your network using a spider web browser. Generally speaking the adapter must be in the same sub domain every bit the estimator to exist able to log on (run into previous department for how to configure the PC to the aforementioned subdomain)

Setting the IP Address using TMNet WinConfig

(Type 4)
To utilize the UB-E03, UB-E04 with TCP/IP, you outset demand to gear up its IP address. Y’all can set the IP accost past using the EPSON TMNet WinConfig or arp/ping control.

Running the TMNet WinNet configuration utility

The printer and the Ethernet Three module must take the same baud rates to communicate.

Become the initial settings of the Printer

Run the printer self test (agree downwardly the feed push while turning on the printer). The printer volition print a list of initial settings including interface type and buffer chapters. Verify that the interface is “serial” for this type of Ethernet adapter and that the baud rate is the same as is assault the bill of fare. If necessary, change the baud charge per unit of measurement on the printer (using the
DIP switches) or the baud rate on the module (using jumpers), so they concur.

Become the initial settings of the Ethernet Adapter Carte

Plough off power on printer. Modify the dip switch one to ON. Plow printer on. The printer will impress a list of including MAC address, electric electric current IP address and DIP switch and jumper settings.
Note:

if you desire to enable DHCP for this menu, you must identify a jumper on JP3. JP3 is located on the circuit board well-nigh the big blackness connector. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a network service that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices.

Resetting the card to default settings
You tin can can reset the Ethernet card to it’southward default settings by placing a modest jumper beyond ii pins while ability cycling the bill of fare.
	Locate the ii position jumper closest to the metal plate (see arrows). Identify a jumper at position 1 (JP1) across the ii pins next to the metallic plate. Install the carte in the printer. Plow ability on. Await for printer to respond – it should print a test canvas. Plow the printer off. Remove the carte from the printer and the jumper from the carte. The card should now exist reset to its default settings.

Installation Steps

(Type 2 or Type Three)

1. Disconnect power and other cables from the EPSON printer, and remove the printer DIP switch comprehend plate.
two. Remove the existing interface lath from the printer past unscrewing two screws.
3. Properly align and button the new module into the printer. Fasten the 2 mounting screws through the faceplate of the new interface.
4. Set DIP switches every bit necessary; then adhere the admission cover.
5. Connect the power cable to the printer and employ ability. Attach network cable.
half dozen. Run a configuration report. This shows that the printer, module, and firmware are all installed and operating correctly and shows how the advice parameters are set.

Running a Configuration Report

(Type two or Type Three)

To Run the Config Report

Power on the printer,
Open the paper cover,
printing the FEED button,
Shut the newspaper embrace.

The configuration report volition at present impress. Information technology should include information such as the MAC address, the IP accost and the gateway accost. Afterwards printing, don’t forget to return DIP switch 1 to the off position.

For the EPSON TM-U200 printer:
Gear up DIP switch 1 on the Ethernet Module to ON and ability upward the unit. After report has printed, power off unit of measurement and return DIP switch to the OFF position.

Configuring the Interface

(Type Two or Type Three)Each Epson Ethernet Interface module has a ‘Base’ MAC Address programmed into the information technology. A unique MAC Address and a Serial Number are programmed into the Flash ROM at the manufactory, and cannot be changed. Labels with both the MAC accost and serial number are affixed to the module. These numbers are important when configuring the adapter- It is appropriate to brand a note of these values in a secure identify.

The Net or IP accost can exist set up using the spider web interface or Epson EEI utility. It can be dynamically reassigned via DHCP, BOOTP, or ARP/Ping.

Loftier Level Configuration

Choice i (Ethernet ii simply):

Using a spider web browser, type the default IP accost (found on a label on the interface menu) into the address field of your web browser. The configuration screen should appear. The default password for the interface is Epson. We highly recommend this be inverse. Once the web interface is running, all awarding, network, printer and countersign settings can be modified.

Option two (Ethernet Ii or Ethernet Iii):
Use the Epson Ethernet Interface Configuration Program for this series of adapter, EEIUtil.exe, The program will discover all Epson Ethernet printers on your network and allow y’all to reconfigure them. Notation: the TMNetWinConfig is not uniform with this model of adapter.

Of import: If you are assigning a permanent IP accost to the Epson printer, information engineering science is advised that dip switch 8 on the interface module past switched to off once the address has been fix.
