Wireless LAN Interface
You can connect using a wired cable (LAN/USB), or connect using SimpleAP mode, and setup a wireless LAN
using a TM-H6000V Utility. When setting up multiple printers, you can connect using a wired cable (LAN/
USB) and setup a wireless LAN using the Epson Deployment Tool.
Using Epson TM Utility for iOS/Android, you can easily connect the printer to the network from an iOS or
Android devices.
Connecting the Optional Wireless LAN Unit
The optional Wireless LAN cable set (OT-WL02/OT-WL05) enables you to use the product with a Wi-Fi
connection.
For more information, refer to Technical Reference Guide of the Wireless LAN cable set.
When using wireless LAN, make sure you disconnect the LAN cable. If a LAN cable is connected,
wireless LAN is disabled.
When you set up the access point at the same time, set the access point in advance and check that
it operates correctly.
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.
Wireless LANs with a frequency band of 2.4 GHz interfere with
Bluetooth
®
communication. When
using
Bluetooth
and Wi-Fi at the same time, we recommend using 5 GHz.
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 interference.
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.
In the infrastructure mode, W53 and W56 channels are not available to connect to a stealth SSID
access point.
For SimpleAP mode, see
"Simple Setup for Wireless LAN" on page 24
.
Be sure to turn off the printer when connecting the Wireless LAN unit.
Depending on the installation conditions of the printer and the routing for cables connected to it,
the status of the radio waves for the Wireless LAN unit may decline. If this does happen, use an
extension cable.
This option may be included with this product, depends on the models.
The shape of the Wireless LAN unit varies depending on the model.
