CUSTOMIZATION OF SETTINGS
General Information
This section explains the operations of the main menu
screen and how to change each setting.
Explanation of the Main Menu
The menu screen allows selection of various menu
items during the initial installation or checking/changing
the system settings (Figure 3-A).
Pressing the MENU key will bring the menu screen.
Press the < and > keys to highlight the desired item, and
then press the ENTER key to select.
Menu Item Descriptions
1. COUNT- Indicates the number of slides that have
been coverslipped. The counter can be reset. See
page 3.2.
2. EXTENDED PRIME- Mounting medium is dispensed
continuously from the tip of the nozzle. Select this
menu item when loading mounting medium for the
first time, changing the mounting medium, or when air
bubbles have entered the tubing. See page 3.3.
3. ERROR LOG- Provides a log of errors that have
occurred. See page 3.4.
4. PROGRAM EDIT- Sets the names and details of
coverslipping programs that specify coverslipping
conditions. Up to nine coverslipping programs can be
stored in memory, each specifying a different cover
glass size, coverslipping speed, and volume of
mounting medium. See page 3.4.
5. PROGRAM LOCK- Prevents program changes
during coverslipping. Select “Lock” or “Unlock.” Real-
time change of coverslipping speed and volume of
mounting medium is enabled only when “Unlock” is
selected. See page 3.5.
6. KEY SOUND- Selects whether or not to output a
sound when a key is pressed. See page 3.5.
7. END SOUND- Changes the sound indicating the
completion of coverslipping. Select a desired sound
from three pattern choices. See page 3.5.
8. ALARM- Selects a desired sound, from four pattern
choices, to indicate an error condition. See page 3.6.
9. START METHOD- Selects from two start methods:
The Start Key method required pressing the start key
to initiate coverslipping while the Unloading Station
Access Door method will initiate coverslipping as
soon as that door is closed. See page 3.6.
10. CLEANING- Cleans the interior of the mounting
medium tubing using xylene or flushes out the
mounting medium left in the tube. The operation is the
same as what is performed when “EXTENDED
PRIME” is selected. Under “CLEANING,” however,
reagent flow is at a higher speed. Do not perform this
operation for the purpose of initial priming of mounting
medium, because air bubbles will form. See page
3.7.
11. SOFTWARE VERSION- Displays the software
version. See page 3.7.
