1 Introducing the Statement Printer
The statement printer is a compact, portable, easy-loading, 2-inch thermal printer with an integrated,
easy-to-use, push-button control panel.
The statement printer is ideal for offices, coffee shops, libraries, hotels and airport terminals that
provide Internet access for customers. This printer allows you to generate subscriber accounts and
print account information on-site with a push of a button, without using a computer and printer.
2 Safety Warnings
 Do not use any AC power adaptor other than the one that is specified.
 Never disassemble the printer or the adapter.
 Do not allow metal objects or liquids into the printer.
 Never touch the thermal printing head immediately after printing because it becomes very
hot.
 Make sure that the thermal printing head is cool before inserting a paper roll or cleaning the
thermal printer.
 Do not connect the statement printer’s RJ-11 connector to the telephone network.

PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
The push-button
LEDs are off.
Make sure that you have the correct power adaptor connected to the printer
and plugged in to an appropriate power source. Check all cable
connections.
If the front panel button LEDs still do not turn on, you may have a hardware
problem. In this case, you should contact your local vendor.
Check that the statement printer is connected to the gateway.
Make sure there is enough printing paper in the statement printer.
I cannot print the
account
information using
the statement
printer. Make sure you set the gateway to require authentication before allowing
Internet access, see the Wizard Setup screens or the Authentication
chapter (refer to the gateway User’s Guide).
