Chapter 2 Setup Match the settings on the computer with the network settings indicated on the status sheet. By factory default, the printer is set to an IP address that is assigned by the DHCP server. If multiple IP addresses are in conflict on the same network, you will be unable to perform the setup procedure.
Once wireless LAN network settings are performed, the printer will not start up in SimpleAP mode. If you want to start it up in SimpleAP mode, factory reset the UB-R05 that is mounted on the printer. For details about the factory reset procedure, see "Factory Reset"...

Input your user name and password on the authentication window. The user name is "epson", and the default password is the printer's serial number. You can find the serial number by performing a printer self-test, or by checking the manufacturing nameplate attached to the printer.
Check that the setting computer is connected to the network in the same segment as the printer, and that the Set IP Address Using ARP + Ping for the UB-R05 is set to Enable. (The factory default is Disable.) You can check the UB-R05 settings on the status sheet.
Chapter 2 Setup Factory Reset If you become unable to connect to the network, you can use the following procedure to initialize settings and restore the device to factory default. Turn off the printer's power. With the push button pressed, turn on the printer's power. Use tweezers or a similar fine-tipped object to push the push button.
