mounting medium is dispensed as the nozzle moves

This can change the first dispensing volume of
mounting medium using this first dispense volume setting.

Setting the Slide Drying Time
It is possible to program the amount of time slides dry
in the unloading area.
So that the cover glass pasting positions will not shift
when the receiving racks containing coverslipped slides
are removed, a desired wait time can be set in 30-second
increments over a range of 0 to 10 minutes to dry the
slides in the unloading area. When drying is completed, a
buzzer will sound to notify the completion of drying.

is displayed.
