Chapter I
Introduction
The Orion 900A is a battery operated printer designed for field or
laboratory use with Orion 115, 125, 145, 150, 250A, 290A, 420A, 520A,
620, 720A, 810, 850, 920A. The Printer plugs directly into the meter
making a compact design, which is easy to carry in the field and reduces
the cables and bench space required in the lab.
Note: Use the Orion 900A printer with Orion meters only.

Paper Insertion
See Figure 3.
1. Flip open the top portion of the front printer case.
2. Tear off approximately the first 8 inches of printer paper from the roll.
3. Hold the roll in one hand with the paper coming off the bottom of the
roll. Insert the end of the paper into the print mechanism. Insert under
the plastic section and above the lower metal piece.
4. Turn the printer on by sliding the switch to the right, then press line
feed button. The paper should move through the print mechanism and
out of the top. If not, check to make sure the paper is inserted
properly.
5. Hold the paper forward while flipping the top cover closed so it
remains on the outside of the printer case.
Note: Do not apply tape over printout. This will cause fading. Tape around the
edges or staple.

The Battery
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
The Orion 900A contains a rechargeable battery. The printer can operate
while plugged into line power and recharging. Recharge the battery
overnight so it is ready for use the next day as follows:
1. Plug the line converter into the jack on the right side of the printer.
For printers used with bench top meters turn meter over and plug into
jack from below. You may leave the printer plugged into line power
indefinitely.
2. Plug the line converter into an appropriate wall outlet and turn
the printer off. Leave in this state for 12 hours to fully recharge
the battery.
Note: Plugging in the meter will not recharge the printer battery. The printer
must be plugged into line power directly.

REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 4.
1. Remove battery cover on rear panel by sliding cover down.
2. Remove battery pack by pulling gently. Disconnect the wire leads by
pulling straight out from the internal connection.
3. Insert connector on new battery pack into the internal portion of the
printer until it is secure. This is a polarized connector and can only be
inserted one way. Position the battery pack into compartment and
replace cover.
4. Plug in the printer and charge the battery for twelve hours.
Note: Battery must be disposed or recycled properly.
