Revised 3/30/2010 4.9
Operations Permitted during Operation
The following operations can be performed during
coverslipping.
• Place and remove receiving racks
• Check the program details
• Change the dispensing volume and coverslipping
speed (These items can be changed only when
the program is unlocked.)
• Pause and resume
• Stop the operation
Placing and Removing Receiving Racks
If the RACK lamp is on during operation, it is possible
to place and remove receiving racks in the unloading area.
When the unloading area is opened, the removal
screen appears to show which receiving racks have been
there for more than the programmed drying time and can
be removed.
If “OK” is lit on the right side of a number, the
receiving rack corresponding to that number can be
removed.
If “OK” is blinking on the right side of a number, the
receiving rack corresponding to that number is still being
dried (Figure 4-O).
If no drying time is programmed, “OK” is lit next to all
numbers.
Figure 4-O: Retrieval Screen
In the example shown above, rack 1 has been there
for more than the drying time and can be removed. Drying
of rack 2 is not yet completed.
CAUTION: After opening the door, remove all
completed receiving racks.
Place empty receiving racks and remove receiving
racks containing slides while the RACK lamp is on. This
lamp turns on when the system is stopped or a glass slide
is being placed in a receiving rack.
CAUTION: This system returns receiving racks to the
positions from which they were retrieved. Accordingly,
do not place an empty rack in a position that is empty
because the corresponding rack is being filled with
slides. Refer to the screen for the available positions.
Checking the Program Details
The current program details are shown in the fourth
line when the < and > keys are pressed on the control
panel.
Changing the Dispensing Volume and
Coverslipping Speed
It is possible to change the dispensing volume and
coverslipping speed while the system is processing
(assuming the program is not locked) or paused. The new
values will be saved under the current program number
and reflected in the process.
Change the dispensing volume by turning the
VOLUME knob on the control panel.
Change the coverslipping speed by turning the
SPEED knob on the control panel.
If either of these settings is changed during
processing, the new setting will be in effect from the next
slide to be coverslipped.
