Section 6 | Accessing the Dako Autostainer
Software
The SIGN IN screen is the first screen that appears after the Dako Autostainer icon is double clicked.
The SIGN IN screen allows you to enter your assigned user name (up to 28 alpha-numeric
characters) and password (up to 8 alpha-numeric characters). Your user security status (programmed
in the INITIALIZE screen) determines the functions you are able to access. If the sign-in process is
executed correctly (i.e. valid user name and password entered), the system displays the MAIN MENU
screen.
To add a new user or change a password of an existing user, see Initializing the Dako Autostainer,
Section 7.
1. The cursor is located in the name box. Type your name and press the ENTER key. The
cursor moves to the password box.
2. Type your password and press ENTER. Only asterisks (*) will be displayed in the entry
box during keystroke entry. The MAIN MENU screen is displayed.
If an unrecognizable name and/or password is entered, the software does not
allow you to continue to the next entry. For example, if an unrecognized name is
entered and the ENTER key is pressed the cursor remains in the name box and
does not move to the password box.
If EXIT is selected a dialog box prompts, “Quit using Autostainer?”. Select YES to
return to the main Windows screen. Select NO to return to the SIGN IN screen.
The MAIN MENU screen appears when the sign-in process is properly executed. This screen allows
high security level users access to all the software features. The INITIALIZE button is displayed for
only high security level users. A user’s security status is entered from the INITIALIZE screen (see
Initializing the Autostainer, section 7).
If the accessing operator is assigned a middle or low security level, the INITIALIZE button is replaced
with the CHANGE PASSWORD button. A middle or low security level does not allow access to set or
change the parameters for slide labels, Main Grid and IHC Report printing formats, cleaning schedule
or signing on new users and doctors.
