X-ray spectra for Her X-l are presented for times before, during, and after a turn-on in the 35 day on-off cycle, as well as during an anomalous dip in the X-ray intensity. All four spectra are well represented by a power law of number index approximately .9 with a high energy cutoff near 20 keV. However, the column density of cold matter along the line of sight as estimated by the low energy cutoff varies substantially among the four intervals. The low level flux present prior to turn-on does not pulse and shows very little low energy absorption, in contrast to the X-rays observed during the turn-on and the anomalous dip. It seems likely that the pre-turn-on flux is composed of X-rays scattered into the line of sight by material away from the accretion disk.
