Preparing the machine for use
.
Opening the carrying case
•
Place the machine flat with the handle towards you. Push
to the right the catch arrowed in the illustration; lift the lid
by the handle, at the same time tilting it backwards. It will
then lift off easily. Do not pull the handle right out as
this automatically prevents the opening or closing
of the case.
HERMES 3000: If the case is locked, give the key a complete
turn in a clockwise direction and then remove it.

Closing the carrying case
To replace the lid, reverse this procedure, not forgetting to
centre the carriage first (see next paragraph) and, if neces-
sary, lower the paper supports (19).
-
Freeing and locking (centering) the carriage
a) The carriage is locked ; to free it, press the lever 33 and
at the same time pull the carriage to the right until the
ever becomes disengaged from the notch.
b)
To lock (centre) the carriage again, maintain pressure on
the lever 33 with the forefinger, whilst resting the thumb
against the small plate 34, or on the Media 3 on the
knob 35, so as to brake the run of the carriage. When
the centre position is reached, the carriage will lock auto-
matically.
Paper insertion
Having raised the paper supports (19), insert the paper
between the platen and the paper table (27). When the paper
is firmly held, turn the platen by the right or left knob (35
or 10) so that the paper feeds in. For the best results, see
that the transparent card holders (20 and 24) cover th e largest
area of paper possible at the moment of introduction, and
that the rubber rollers (17 and 29) of the paper bail (23) are
sufficiently close to each other, particularly in the case of
a narrow sheet of paper or a postcard. These rollers may be
positioned anywhere to the left or right.
