USEFUL TIPS

To obtain the best results from your HERMES 3000

1. Read these instructions carefully as the HERMES3000has its own special features. The index (page 1) will enable

you to easily consult this booklet when necessary.

2. If you need advice, get in touch with the nearest official HERMESagent, preferably the one who sold the machine.

3. Make it a habit each night to put your portable in its case.

4. Before erasing move the carriage completely to the right or left. By so doing you will avoid rubber dust clogging

the type bars.

5. See to it that the type of your HERMESare always clean as a neat letter encourages one to read it.

6. Do not dismantle your typewriter. The tension of the carriage main spring and of the escapement is factory-

adjusted to the needs of the most efficient typist.

We would particularly warn users of the HERMES3000 against any impulse to tamper with the machine for an

amateur would not know what to improve and, without realising it, might put another mechanism out of order.

Moreover, such intervention would deprive you of the benefits conferred by the machine's guarantee.

Before starting to read these instructions, unfold the inside back cover as shown in the sketch below.

MAKING THE MACHINE READY FOR USE

Opening the carrying case

Place the machine flat with the handle towards you. If the case is locked give the key a quarter turn in an anti-

clockwise direction and then remove it. Press on the lock and simultaneously raise the lid by its handle tilting it

backwards (see illustration). It will then lift off easily.

Closing the carrying case

To replace the lid proceed in the reverse order but not forgetting to first centre the carriage (see following paragraph)

and to lower the paper supports (19).

Freeing and locking (centering) the carriage

a) The carriage is locked. To free it press on the lever (33) and pull the carriage to the right until the lever

disengages itself from the notch.

b) To lock (centre) the carriage, press with the forefinger on the lever (33) without letting it go and, at the same

time, rest the thumb against the small plate (34) in order to slow down the carriage run. When the centre

position is reached the carriage will block automatically.

Paper insertion

Having raised the paper supports (19), insert a sheet

of 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.

To insert paper under the best conditions, see that the

transparent card holders (20 and 24) rest on the greatest

area of paper possible at the moment of introduction

and the rubber rollers (17 and 29) on the paper bail

(23) are sufficiently close to each other, especially when

it is a question of a narrow sheet of paper or a postcard.

GENERAL TYPING RULES

HERMES

C7 C7 C7

If the paper is crooked, pull forward the paper release lever (30) which will completely free the paper and correct

it so that the paper is parallel with the paper bail (23). When this is done, push back the lever (30) to its original

position.

The divisions on the paper bail (23) help to set the margins (page 6) and tabulator stops (page 10). Rubber rollers

. (17 and 29) can be moved to the right or left to suit the different widths of paper.

This feature (19) prevents paper from coming in contact with the back of the machine or from touching the table.

It is especially useful when cutting stencils. Also, it enables one to see clearly the written text. To bring the paper

supports into position, take hold of one of the two arms resting against the back protection (28) and raise it.

Adjusting paper

Paper supports

Transparent card holders (line guides)

The card holders (20 and 24) make it possible to write

at the very beginning of the paper, before it passes

under the paper bail (23), and to the extreme bottom

of the sheet. They also serve as line guides as the top

of the graduations (26) indicate the height of the writing

line (see illustration).

N. B. - Petrol (benzine) damages their transparency.

End of page

The plate covering the front feed rollers has two openings

(16and 36) enabling the advancement of the paper to be

watched and to note in good time the end of the page

(see white line).

GENERAL TYPING RULES

Moveable paper side guide

On the left of the paper table there is a guide (15) which can be moved sideways. It ensures that sheets of paper

are always inserted in the same place and have the same left margin without changing the margin stop each time.

If care is taken to always rest the paper against the edge of this device, you will have no difficulty in re-inserting

a sheet for making a correction.

Capital letters

To write capitals or signs in the upper position of the keys, press one of the keys (lor 45) which are on each side

of the keyboard: pressure must be maintained while striking the key. If one wishes to writea series of capitals,

press down completely the shift lock (2). To return to normal writing (small letters) from this position touch the left

shift key (1).

Space bar

The space bar (46)is used to move the carriage from right

to left, separate two words or to leave blank spaces.

Buttons for moving the carriage

With the forefinger press these buttons (13 and 31)

to move rapidly the carriage from right to left. When

using the one on the right (31), slow down slightly the

movement of the carriage by resting the thumb against

the plate (34) - see illustration.
