Once the power is turned on, the instrument will
initialize and perform a series of system checks as it
prepares for operation.
After the initialization process is complete, the
instrument goes into standby mode and is ready for
operation. From the standby screen, a series of operations
can be selected.
Directly under the LCD display are three function keys
labeled: [Enter], [Menu], and [Exit] (Figure 1-K).

The [>] key moves the selection item downward or to the

capture the film and begin to feed it automatically. The
[Prime] key is pressed to dispense the xylene using the
set xylene dispensing level.
Located on the right side of the control panel are the
[Stop] and [Start] keys. When the instrument is in
operation, the [Stop] key is used to stop operation already

action. The coverslipper will begin routine operation, start
of origin return action, or priming action when the [Start]
key is pressed.
There are three LED’s located on the control panel.
The Cover LED, the Load LED, and the Power LED. The
Cover LED lights when the cover on the top of the
instrument is ready to open. The Load LED lights when
the door of the loading station is ready to open. The
Power LED remains lit when power is being supplied to
