How to connect an Epson POS printer with Ethernet Interface How to connect an Epson POS Printer with an Ethernet Adapter An Ethernet connection uses the existing network to connect the computer to the POS printer. The printer plugs into the LAN and, once configured, the computer can use the printer like it was attached directly. Required Components.
Epson POS Printer with Connect-It Ethernet adapter (UB-E02 or similar). Local Area Network (LAN) running TCP/IP. Windows computer with LAN connection Epson Printers Covered. /IV/V/VI. /IV.
Step by Step To connect to your local network the Ethernet printer must be set to settings compatible with your network. To set the settings on the adapter you must first connect to the adapter in its current or default state. The installation step vary slighting depending on the type of Ethernet card you have. Over the past few years Epson has offered 3 types of Ethernet cards, Type II, II and IV. Each has a different set of features and a different way of setting them up. UB-E02, UB-E03, UB-E04 Click to select Installation - Type IV Installation Steps for Installing Ethernet Adapter The Type IV module (UB-E02, UB-E03, UB-E04 or similar) is the latest type of Connect-It Ethernet adapter. The module can be set by accessing it directly using a web browser or by a configuration utility.
This type of module can also act as a device type Print server to be used by more than 1 computer. Installing and Setting the Connect-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 and is held in place by 2 screws. If changing a printer to Ethernet you must change the specific dip switch on the Epson printer to allow for the Ethernet card.
(Key: DIP SW2-8 On: refers to slide switch number 8, on switch bank 2, is turned On). RJ-45 Female (connector on computer and adapter end) Ethernet cards use CAT5/6 patch cords Tip: You can directly connect a printer with an Ethernet interface to a computer using a crossover cable (not the same as a patch cable). This special cable 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 computer and the printer statically, both in the same sub domain, with different addresses. Connect a computer directly to an Ethernet printer using a crossover cable For example if the printer was set to 192.168.192.
168, the computer could be set to 192.168.192. After proper set-up you should be able to open and talk to the printer directly. Just enter the IP address (192.168.192.168 in this example) of the printer using a browser. (Type IV) Get the initial settings of the Ethernet adapter. Run the printer self test (hold down the feed button while turning on the printer).

The printer will print a list of initial settings including interface type and buffer capacity. Verify that the interface 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 the adapter for 3 seconds. A strip will print showing the MAC address, Gateway (GW), IP address and IP assignment method (manual/auto).
Changing the IP Address of the Adapter Now comes the tricky part. To be able to change the IP address on the adapter you need to be able to connect with it. To do this you most likely need to change the IP address of your computer to a value that makes the adapter accessible. 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 cards are set to DHCP and will try to find an available IP address on its own the first time it appears on your network.
If successful, it will print out the IP address it is using. If the address is acceptable to you then skip to section about - Epson UB-E04 Cards also require 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 holding down the push button on the card (see arrow above) while turning on the printer power and continuing to hold it down for 5 seconds.
This causes all internal settings to return to their factory defaults. For the older UB-E02 cards, hold the push button down after the printer is on for 30 seconds. Setting the IP Address on your Computer In Windows you can access the wired Ethernet adapter in the 'Network Connections' applet in the Windows Control Panels (Internet Protocol/TCP/IP properties, allow you to enter an IP address.) Make a note of the existing settings, you'll be returning to those settings when your done. Set the IP address to an address in the same domain as the adapter. For example of the adapter shows an IP address of 172.16.10.63 you could change the computer to 172.16.10.2. Do not set the computer to the same address as the Ethernet adapter on the printer. You might have to reset the computer's adapter for the new settings to take place.
Logging onto the Adapter using TMNet Web Config (Type II or Type IV) TMNet web configuration allows you to access the adapter via your network using a web browser. Generally speaking the adapter must be in the same sub domain as the computer to be able to log on (see previous section for how to configure the PC to the same subdomain) Using a web browser such as Internet Explorer you should now be able to connect to the adapter by entering the IP address of the adapter directly into the address bar of the browser. The TMNet General Information page show open.
To change the IP address, select 'TCP/IP' under 'Configuration.' You can enter a new IP address and gateway address. Press the 'Submit' button when done The 'Submit' button with write settings to the printer. The Ethernet adapter is reset when you press the 'Reset' button. (Type IV) To use the UB-E03, UB-E04 with TCP/IP, you first need to set its IP address.
You can set the IP address by using the EPSON TMNet WinConfig or arp/ping command. Running the TMNet WinNet configuration utility on the Computer Once connected you can run the TMNet configuration utility to view or change the settings on the Ethernet card. To obtain the TMNet configuration utility from Epson:. You may have to re-enable your wired LAN port to download the EpsonTMNetWinConfig utility. Download and Install Epson’s TMNetWinConfig available from. Click on TECHNICAL RESOURCES. Select Ethernet INTERFACES under the CONNECT-IT INTERFACES.
Click the download icon for the TMNetWinConfig. Setting the IP Address using EPSON TMNet WinConfig 1.
Set the TCP/IP of your operating system. Install the EPSON TMNet WinConfig. Set the IP address using EPSON TMNet WinConfig.
The utility will scan for and should list the Ethernet printer. Select the printer and press Configuration to view or change settings. (Pressing the Launch Browser button will contact the TMNet WebConfig interface using your web browser.) When you make changes and press 'OK' the utility sends the new settings to the printer and resets the printer. Note: the default password is. Don't forget to make the same changes on the computer side to maintain connectivity. Configuration - Type II Configuration of Ethernet Module The earlier type of Epson Connect-It Interface used a manual configuration scheme and a simple web interface.
The Type II module can be identified by the red or blue 8 position DIP switch visible on the front of the adapter An Epson Type II Ethernet Interface Adapter (Key: 2-7 On: refers to the switch number 7 is turned On) Confirm the initial settings of the Printer Run the printer self test (hold down the feed button while turning on the printer). The printer will print a list of initial settings including interface type and buffer capacity. Verify that the interface is 'serial' for this type of Ethernet adapter. Quick Test Printout, Type II Adapter To get a configuration / status report with information about the printer and Ethernet module, along with maintenance counts and settings, do the following: for PRINTERS with Cover Sensor. Power the Printer up, with Ethernet Module installed.
Pop the receipt printer cover. Press the FEED button. Close the receipt printer cover NOTE: Wait for the green LED on the module to start blinking!
If you proceed with this too quickly, the printout will indicate an UNKNOWN PRINTER. If this happens, cycle power, and wait for the Green LED to start blinking.
With the module connected to a Ethernet, this delay will be shorter than if there is no Ethernet connected and the modules spends longer looking for one. For PRINTERS without Cover Sensor. With a powered OFF module. Set Dip-Switch 1 (on the module) to ON. Power up the unit. Status Report will print. Power down the unit.
Set Dip-Switch 1 to OFF. Resume operations Configuration- Type III Configuration of Ethernet Module Epson's 'low-cost' Connect-It Ethernet Interface used a manual configuration scheme and and no web interface.
