Error 301
SLIDER BLOCKED
The specimen slide outfeed
is blocked.
Check the specimen slide outfeed ( refer to Chapter 7.5.11 ) and
output magazine ( refer to Chapter 7.6.3 ). Remove the cause of the
blockage (glued-on material due to coverslip mountant residue) if
necessary ( refer to Chapter 7.6.3 ). Switch the instrument off and
back on and proceed as described in Chapter 5.3 .
Error 305
GR-X BLOCKED
The horizontal movement
of the gripper tongs is
blocked.
Remove the cause of the blockage. If the gripper tongs have
gripped a specimen slide, use RELEASE SLIDE to open the gripper
tongs and manually remove the specimen slide. Then switch the
instrument off and on and proceed as described in Chapter 5.3 .
Ensure that any adhesive residue has been cleaned from the
gripper jaws (adhesive from leftover labels sensitive to solvents)
( refer to Chapter 7.6.3 ).
Error 306
GR-Z BLOCKED
The gripper is blocked in its
vertical movement.
Remove the cause of the blockage. If the gripper tongs have
gripped a specimen slide, use RELEASE SLIDE to open the gripper
tongs and manually remove the specimen slide. Then switch the
instrument off and on and proceed as described in Chapter 5.3 .
Error 312
TS-X BLOCKED
The transfer arm of the
TS5025/5015 Transfer Sta-
tion is blocked in its left/
right movement (X-axis).
Remove the cause of the blockage (specimen slide holder) and
inspect the transfer arm of the TS5025/TS5015. Remove empty
specimen slide holders from the discharge chute of the transfer
station. Switch the instrument off and on. Proceed further as de-
scribed in Chapter 5.3 . Place any removed specimen slide holders
into the coverslipper and have them coverslipped (thus outside of
the workstation operation).
All of the error messages with the corresponding actions for troubleshooting are listed below.
If faults occur that cannot be corrected with the procedures recommended in the table, or if
they occur again, contact the responsible Leica Service contact person.
In case of errors, generally the user's first step is to secure the specimens located at different
positions in the instrument/workstation while ensuring personal safety.
