Radio wave radiation
The influence on the environment of radio wave radiation
❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product radiates the same high frequency energy as some other high frequency devices but the level of the energy radiated
from it is suppressed so that it is much lower than the electromagnetic energy radiated from
radio equipment like cell phones.
❏ Under some situations and in certain environments, the use of this equipment is sometimes
limited by the owner of the building or a representative with responsibility for the group.
For example, it may be restricted in the following case:
• Use in an environment where it may cause interference with other devices and services.
❏ If you do not understand the radio device usage policy in a specific group or environment,
such as an airport, ask permission before turning on the power of 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. While using,
be especially careful not to touch the cover of the antenna.
3
Note about interference
❏ The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in 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.
❏ If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can
be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
❏ Never disassemble or modify this product or the installed Radio Frequency module.
❏ Seiko Epson Corporation shall not be liable for interference to radio/TV resulting from
changes or modifications to this product or the installed Radio Frequency module not
expressly approved by Seiko Epson Corporation.
❏ Other radio equipment sometimes uses the same frequency band that this unit uses. To prevent radio wave interference with other radio equipment, pay attention to the following
matters when you use this product:
• The Radio Frequency module that can be installed in this product uses the Industrial
Scientific and Medical band (2.4 GHz), DSSS/OFDM modulation, and the interference
distance is 40 m.
• Other equipment that uses the same frequency band used by the Radio Frequency
module that can be installed in this product includes equipment for industry, science
and medical treatment, microwave ovens, HomeRF, and radio and other broadcasting
equipment (both ones that require a license and ones that do not require a license).
1. Confirm that radio and other broadcasting equipment are not used nearby before using
this product.
2. When trouble occurs, for example, if the Radio Frequency module causes problems such
as radio wave interference, consult your dealer.
❏ Because not all the combinations of the printer and wireless LAN devices have been checked
for operation, the operation of the printer in combination with all the wireless LAN devices
is not guaranteed. Especially in the ad-hoc mode, the printer may not operate normally,
depending on the combination of the device to connect with. Be sure to carry out through
evaluation of the operation before use.
• Examine the radio wave situation in the surrounding area before use.
• Avoid using the same channel that is used in the neighboring shops where wireless LAN is used.
4
Notes on using the printer
When using the printer in environments where kitchen microwaves and other devices that may
interfere radio waves are installed, observe the following points.
• Keep the printer away from the devices, such as kitchen microwaves, that may cause
radio wave interference.
• Use channels that are away from the frequency bands that may cause radio wave influence.
• Place shields between the printer and the devices that may cause radio wave interference.
• Select either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz, whichever is free from radio wave interference.
• In auto channel setting for the access point, do not select a channel in which the devices
may cause radio wave interference.

Note about Security
This section describes security concerns when using a wireless LAN by using the Radio
Frequency module that can be installed in this product.
Security is important for the protection of the user’s privacy
A wireless LAN has the advantage that information can be exchanged by using radio waves
instead of a cable. However, radio waves are not confined to a cable and can be received in a
fairly wide area and through obstacles such as walls, so if security is not used, the following
problems may occur.
Communication data can be received by stealth
A third person can receive private communication data by intercepting the radio waves
intentionally. Such a person could receive items such as the following:
• Personal information, such as an ID and password or credit card number
• The contents of e-mail.
• Data which is communicated between the PC and printer.
Illegal access
A third person can access the network and cause damage such as the following:
• Personal information and secret information can be removed.
• Invalid information can be sent as if it were from a legitimate user of the network.
• Intercepted communication contents can be re-written and sent.
• Data and the system can be destroyed by an electronic virus.
6
This product, the wireless LAN card, and the access point have security mechanisms to counter
these problems. If you use the security settings for this product, you can nearly eliminate these
problems.
In some cases, the wireless LAN equipment is not set up before it is sold to the user. Therefore,
to attempt to prevent security problems, always use all the security settings for the wireless
LAN equipment according to the manual.
The security functions, however, cannot guarantee 100% security. Please understand this
when you use this product.
Seiko Epson Corporation suggests that the security setting is set by the judgment and the
responsibility of user after understanding the possible problems resulting from using this
product without the security settings.
When you cannot set the security by yourself, please ask your dealer.
When you purchase this product, the security setting is already set up for this product (default
setting: WPA2-Personal).

Chapter 2 Installation
Installation
This chapter describes the UB‐R04 installation. The UB‐R04 is an interface board on which is installed the Radio Frequency module for Epson TM printers. The Radio Frequency module is installed on the UB‐R04 at the factory.
To set up the printer, install the UB‐R04 in the Epson TM printer and initialize the UB‐R04 to return it to its default setting. Set the PC to be able to communicate with the UB‐R04. Then change the setting of the UB‐R04 using the setting PC. The UB‐R04 can be set by using the dedicated utility EpsonNet Config.
Installation Precautions Cautions and Note
WARNING
Before installing, disconnect the Power Unit from the TM Printer (as well as turning the
power switch off).
Even when the power switch is off, voltage is still present at some points on the circuit
board. Changing components while the Power Unit is connected can cause damage to
the UB-R04 and the printer.
A grounded wrist strap should be worn during installation to avoid damage from static
electricity.
To avoid damage from static electricity when the unit is removed, place it on an staticsafe surface such as conductive foam.
Protect the unit from vibration and shock that could damage to the unit.
Do not attempt to wire this product other than as described in this document. Improper
wiring could cause damage, fire or explosion.
Never disassemble or modify this product. Tampering with this product may result in
injury, fire, or electric shock.
Because the default IP address for all the wireless printers is the same, you should power
on and configure only one printer at a time.

How to Set the UB-R04
There are two ways to set the UB‐R04.
• Setting with the USB connection
Connect the computer to the USB connector (parameter setting) of this product with the USB
cable. This setting is possible without connecting to the network. Moreover, you can check the
wireless LAN setting at any time, and if you make a mistake in the setting, you can correct it
easily. This setting is recommended.
• Setting with the wireless LAN connection
Prepare the setting computer for wireless LAN and set it with the wireless LAN. If a setting
that cannot be communicated in the wireless LAN environment of the computer is set, the
connection is cut while setting and you cannot check the setting. Also the wrong setting can
prevent communication.

JavaPOS standard API allows control with Javabased applications of functions inherent to each
device. A flexible design with Java language and
JavaPOS enables many different types of computer
systems, such as stand alone or network
configuration, to use a same application. You can
use JavaPOS to build applications and drivers
independently of platforms. This allows flexible
configurations using thin clients to meet the system
requirements.

This chapter describes the information for the programming of a TM printer that is set up for the wireless LAN system.
• Method of printing to the UB‐R04
• Direct printing by PORT9100
• Monitoring of the ASB status
• More than one connection demands
Method of Printing to the UB-R04
The UB‐R04 is equipped with lpr protocols as general print protocols. It is easy to print by using lpr protocols because the printing is also supported by the operating system.
However, the command statuses sent by the printer are ignored because the printing by lpr applies only to output of the printer.
The UB‐R04 supports direct printing by 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.

Monitoring of the ASB Status
The ASB status function of the printer is used for the UB‐R04 to check the state of the printer. Therefore, when the transmission data from the application includes the command to nullify the ASB status function, the UB‐R04 cannot control the state of the printer.
Take care not to transmit the command to nullify the ASB status function to check the state of the printer correctly by the UB‐R04. Or retransmit the command that makes the ASB status function effective again.
More Than One Connection Demands
The UB‐R04 accepts up to two connection demands from LPR/Port9100. However, the TM printer can print only the first accepted connection.
Other connection demands enter the standby status until the connection being printed is closed.
When more than one connection is demanded and the host printer leaves the connection open after printing is complete, or the connection is cut without being closed because of some error, other connecting demands are not processed until the time‐out of connection.
Close the connection at once after finishing printing by an application.
The time-out of connection can be set with EpsonNet Config. The default value is
approximately 1 minute.
