No data getting through serial adapter

Believe the serial adapter (epson ub-s01) got a power surge and is damaged. interchanged one from another epson printer and have isolated that the card is the problem. have a local electronic board repairman but want to know if there is a typical part that gets zapped from surges to save time and money in repair. don't see any obvious damage. i have purchased a new one online but want to repair for a backup since this has happened several times with other printers we operate. thanks, doug mitchell

We're an EPSON repair center and I can tell you that typically the UB-S01 is the culprit. For the low cost of the part it would be much more expensive and time consuming to fix it. We throw them in the trash can. If you want to avoid the damage from power on the card look at buying an APC PNET1. It protects CAT5 cables. Most EPSON UB-S01 adapaters are connected to a 25 pin to RJ45 adapter. The data is then sent through the CAT5 and converted back at the source end to RS232 DB9. If you place a PNET1 inline with the adapaters it should stop any future spikes on the card. Good luck.

Unable to install Epson TM-U220B[U220 with UB-U02III usb interface] on Windows 7 AND XP!

Hi!

Are you using a third party USB adapter or a USB interface? On the self test page that you printed does it say USB connection or something that will say about USB? or does it say parallel or serial connection? try to check the dip switches setting if its configured properly. visit epsonexperts.com site for more info.

Epson TM-U220PD printer network card problem - recognition

Did you change the dip switches? I believe that for the serial printer to work with ethernet, you need to have switches 2 and 4 on bank 2 set to on.

Hook Up possible for EPSON Stylus 880 to new computer w/USB ?

There is no conversion cable that you can use with parallel connector since USB transfers data in Serial mode and the parallel cable handles data in Parallel mode.

Sorry.

Inspiron 9100 - will not turn on after power surge

try unplugging it from the mains adapter and take the battery out. Leave the battery out for a full two minutes then replace the battery and try turning on with battery only first. If this boots up okay then add your adapter.

I search on internet about Epson (C823061) Serial Adapter

It’s going to be a tough find (EPSON discontinued the item).
