Chapter 2 Set up Setting IP Address Using EPSON TMNet WinConfig This section describes how to set the IP address using EPSON TMNet WinConfig. Setting the TCP/IP Protocol in Your Operating System To set the IP address using EPSON TMNet WinConfig, you need to install the TCP/IP protocol in your operating system. To install TCP/IP protocol in Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP, follow the instructions below. Windows 7 Click [Local Area Connection] in the Control Panel. - Page 18 Click the [Properties] button. Confirm whether the [Internet Protocol Version4 (TCP/IPv4)] check box is checked. If not, check it. Click the [OK] button. If you install the TCP/IP protocol, restart your computer after installing.

Page 23: Setting The Ub-E03
Setting procedure Follow the steps below to set the IP address. • Because the same IP address is set for all UB-E03 units in the factory, do not connect more than one UB-E03 whose IP address is not changed from the factory setting. When you set the IP address, connect the UB-E03 to the network and set the IP address one by one. - Page 24 If you have connected more than one printer to the network and do not know for which printer you want to set the IP address, you can check the printer by finding out the MAC address of the UB-E03. The MAC address can be found on the status sheet or a label on the UB-E03.
- Page 25 Chapter 2 Set up Select [Manual] or [Auto]. • Manual: Input for [IP Address], [Subnet Mask], and [Default Gateway]. • Auto: The IP address, subnet mask, and default gate way are acquired form DHCP server. • Do not use the auto setting without a DHCP server. See the manual of the server for setting. • Be sure that the [Set using PING] check box is checked if a setting by ping or arp command is permitted.
- Page 26 Click the [OK] button. The contents of the setting are transmitted to the UB‐E03. After a while, when following message is displayed, the IP address setting is completed.

Commands sent to a TM printer when the power is on (page Monitoring of the ASB status (page The rights of printing (page Time-out for connection (page Method of Printing to a TM Printer The UB‐E03 is equipped with lpr protocols as general print protocols. It is easy to print by using lpr because the printing is also supported by the operating system. However, the command statuses sent by the printer are ignored because the printing by protocols applies only to output of the printer. The UB‐E03 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. UB-E03 TM printer Host TCP Port 9100... -

Page 50: Commands Sent To A Tm Printer When The Power Is On
Monitoring of the ASB Status The ASB status function of the printer is used for the UB‐E03 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‐E03 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‐E03. Or retransmit the command that makes the ASB status function effective again. The Rights of Printing The UB‐E03 permits up to 3 requests of connecting regardless of the lpr/port9100 protocol. The TM printer can print only the first accepted connection. Data transmission is blocked for other requests until the first connection is closed (explicit close or close by time‐out). Time-out for Connection If there is no data transmitted from the host for 5 minutes, regardless of the protocol, lpr/ port9100, the UB‐E03 closes the connection. The time-out of connection can be set with EPSON TMNet WebConfig. The default value is 5 minutes (300 seconds). -
