Epson MobilLink TM-P60 Configuration

Please note that this manual is provided by New West Technologies as an additional service for our

partners, and by no means should be considered an authoritative guide. Please refer to the Technical

Reference Guide for the TM-P60 for further information on the printer specifications. Because the

Epson TM-P60 is an 802.11b-based printer, you may need to be familiar with wireless networking

technology and generic networking principles to configure this device.

Requirements:

1. An available wireless network:

• WPA encryption is not supported with the Epson TM-P60 at this time.

WEP encryption (64-bit and 128-bit) and open networks (without

encryption) are supported.

• If the network is using a MAC filter, please add the MAC address from

the printer to the list of permitted devices.

2. Information on an available wireless network:

• ESSID (or SSID, as it’s commonly known)

• Encryption key (if the network is encrypted)

• Subnet mask

• An available IP address for use with the printer.

• Router login information (in case an alteration needs to be made to the

wireless network configuration.)

3. A laptop or PC with wireless networking capability for configuration of the

device

Your Epson TM-P60 printer arrived configured with default settings from the factory. To

use your printer, you will need to configure a computer with wireless access (such as a

modern laptop) to match the printer before you can change the printer settings.

NOTE: You should only configure one printer at a time, as all have the same settings

installed at the factory. Leave any additional unconfigured Mobillink printers turned off.

Preparing to Connect to the Printer

Printing out the Current Printer Status

1. Turn on the printer and then open the paper roll cover.

2. Hold down the FEED button until the printer beeps.

3. Close the paper roll cover.

4. Note the SSID, Network Mode, and IP Address

NOTE: Realign the paper properly so that it may leave the printer housing each

time you close the roll cover.
