Question
I need paper for a datascope 2100, which paper should I order Is this the right one and does it have the grid?

Answer

Mr. Laird, that is not the right paper for your machine. You need item# 5683254PRM. Make sure that you click here to go to the correct product, as the same item number is used for different manufacturers. The page you are taken to should say "roll for 2100/I by Datascope".

It does have a grid, which is red.

Thank you for your inquiry, and I hope that helps.
