―
Surface trimming (1
st
trimming) (μm)
Amount of rough-cutting before detecting entire tissue size. 0 to 999
Initial trimming (2
nd
trimming)
(μm)
Amount of rough-cutting before detecting tissue size on paraffin
surface.

Maximum volume (thickness)
Max. limit of thickness of rough-cutting during auto trimming
function.
―
Wait limit
When failing to reach criteria after auto trimming, the machine will
work as:
On: making tissue slides Off: skip slide making.
―
Trimming rate (%) The amount of additional trimming (
rough-cutting
) if the
surface detection ratio does not exceed the threshold.
The
rough-cutting volume is determined by the increased volume
(δ Threshold).
