Voyager manual size ?

[Johnboy]

Hi All,

I want to print a 10c manual as I don't have a real one. I was wondering what size the 10c and other voyager manuals are ?

I presume the size is imperial and not a metric A6/B6 etc ?

Any information appreciated.

Thanks
John

Probably for printing it would be better to have "HP-10C Owner's Handbook [Remake]", with a list of corrections

One nice thing about the remake is that it's 5.5" x 8.5", so if you print it "booklet" style on 8.5x11 paper, you can make a single cut to get a nice printed version.

Is that the bound one rather than the spiral bound one ?

Thanks

The manual of my hp-15C (spiral bound) is in cm: 17 (H) x 12 (L).
(16.8 x 11.9 more precisely)
I suppose that the format of the manual of the 10C is identical.

The A5 format is a little bigger (148 × 210)⁽*⁾ and the A6 (105 × 148)⁽*⁾ a little smaller.
The nearest format seems to be the C6 (114 × 162)⁽*⁾.
(* in mm)

Personaly, I probably would use the A5 format.

That didn't look right to me, so I measured the HP-12C Owner's Handbook and Problem-Solving Guide printed in Canada 1987-07 and it is definitely smaller than 7 x 5 inches.

The dimensions are exactly the same for the HP-15C Owner's Handbook that came along with my 1988 HP-15C.

Were there different size manuals printed for different Voyager models?

I don't know where that size came from, because the linked manual on my site is actually 4.63" by 6.63", which is the actual size of the pages of the spiral bound manual that I scanned, rounded to the nearest 0.01" (as best as I could tell). Presumably the intended size was 4-5/8" by 6-5/8".

I guess these values (7″ h x 5″ w) result from rough rounding with 1 inch = 2.5 cm instead of 2.54.

My previous measurements in cm converted to inches:
16.8 cm (h) → 6.61"
11.9 cm (w) → 4.69"

But I just noticed that the cover looked a little wider (11.9 cm) than the leaves (± 11.75 cm):
11,75 cm (w) → 4.6259"

Despite the inevitable aproximations, this is very close to the values Eric gave:
6-5/8" → 6.625" (h)
4-5/8" → 4.625" (w)
