3) Log On/Log Off Function and Password Function
Since the instrument operates with nobody standing by for hours, an unauthorized person may operate the
instrument without the operator noticing. To prevent such a situation, the instrument has the log on/log off function.
The operator enters the preset password to log on and operate the system.
Two types of passwords are available: "Manager passwords" that provide higher-level access to all operations,
and "User passwords" that provide access only to the operations permitted to the applicable user.
[1] Default passwords
The default passwords are as follows: Four manager passwords and 20 user passwords are registered.

Note
To prevent unauthorized persons from operating the instrument, it is recommended that the default
passwords be changed.

4) Mixing During Tissue Processing
This instrument provides the total mixing function where the total volume of reagent in the retort is pumping out/in.
 Total mixing
There are two total mixing actions: Mixing at 12-minute intervals (Mix: Fast) and mixing at 20-minute intervals
(Mix: Slow). To perform total mixing at 12-minute intervals, the remaining processing time at the station must be
at least 13 minutes. To perform total mixing at 20-minute intervals, the remaining processing time at the station
must be at least 21 minutes. Total mixing cannot be performed if there is not enough processing time remaining
at the station.
