Loading Printer Paper

XWWarning

If the printer has been recently used, the print head may still be hot.

To allow continuous printing of Hydra scan data, Continuous Forms-type paper is recommended.

Load continuous forms paper as follows (see Figure 1):

1.Set the paper lever (located on the right-side) to its forward position to select “Continuous Forms”.

2.Move the bail arm lever (located on the left-side) forward to release bail arm pressure from the platen.

3.With the top-cover open, thread the continuous forms paper either in from the back, under the paper separator and down behind the platen, or up through the slot on the bottom of the Printer.

4.Raise the paper in front of the platen to a level above the Printer top.

5.If the paper has sprocket holes on the sides, adjust the spacing of the sprockets on the platen to fit the paper properly. For more details, see the User’s Guide on the included CD-ROM.

6.With the paper in the correct position on the platen and sprockets, move the bail arm lever back to press the bail arm against the paper.

7.Close the top cover, making sure to thread the paper up through the slot.

8.Using the platen knob, adjust the paper to the right starting position with the top edge of the paper above the bail arm.

9.Press the SELECT button on the front of the Printer to put it on-line. The light next to the SELECT button indicates the printer is online.

Connecting the Printer

The Printer connects directly to the Hydra’s RS-232C connector on the Hydra rear panel, using the supplied RS42 serial printer cable.

To simplify system setup, Printer default settings correspond to Hydra series instruments. No adjustments to these settings are necessary.

To set up the Printer:

1.Connect the larger 25-pin connector end of the RS42 serial printer cable to the serial interface connector on the Printer.

2.Connect the 9-pin connector end of the RS42 serial cable to the RS-232C serial connector on the rear panel of the Hydra.

3.Connect power cord to the rear of the Printer, and plug it into an appropriate power outlet.

4.Turn the Printer power on.

To set up the Hydra:

1.Check that the Hydra is set to 9600 Baud and No Parity (refer to the proper Hydra Users Manual for instructions). Use the SHIFT and LIST [COMM] buttons on the Hydra front panel to check and set if needed.

2.Set the Hydra for Autoprint mode. See the instructions below for the appropriate model:

•2635A Data Bucket
