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

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
