5. Operation
5.5 The coverslipping operation
After complete initialization, the prime cycle and carrying out preparations
( refer to Chapter 5.3 ), the coverslipping operation can be started by pressing
the START button ("READY" LED is illuminated in green).
• The loading bath is transported into the position required for the cover-
slipping operation and the output magazine moves into position.
• The specimen slides are processed sequentially: They are coverslipped
in sequence and then pushed into successive positions in the output
magazine (from top to bottom).
• The note "FINISHED" is displayed, accompanied by a signal tone, after the
last specimen slide is processed. The "READY" LED is illuminated in red.
• The message "FINISHED" has to be confirmed with the RESPOND button.
Afterwards, the "READY" LED is illuminated in green and the message
"READY" appears on the display.
• The output magazine stays at the position of the specimen slide inserted
last.
• Press the LIFT button to remove the output magazine. The output magazine
moves to the output position.
• The output magazines have to be removed and unloaded manually.
• Afterwards, place the empty output magazines in the output station.
• Remove the empty specimen slide holder from the loading bath (not
necessary in workstation mode) and replace it with a full specimen slide
holder.
• Press the START button to continue coverslipping.
• At the end of the workday and before long work breaks, move the dispenser
into the park position to keep the dispenser needle from drying out.
If the RESPOND button is not pressed immediately, the signal tone stops automatically after
approx. 15 seconds and the Ready LED is illuminated in red.
The RESPOND button has to be pressed so that the Ready LED is illuminated in green and work
on the instrument can continue.
