Segment of ID
The ThinPrep 5000 processor with Autoloader can be configured to etch slide IDs that are always the
same segment of the vial IDs.
1. Touch the Segment of ID button.
2. Indicate where, in the vial ID, the segment that is used on the slide ID starts.
If the first character of the segment to use in the slide ID is the first character of the vial ID, leave
the “Start at position” field blank.
If the starting point is a certain position in the vial ID, such as the fifth character, use the “Start at
position” setting.
A. Touch the empty box to access the keypad.
B. Use the keypad to enter the number that represents the position of the character which is the
start of the segment of the vial ID used in the slide ID, such as “5” for the fifth character.
If the starting point of the segment of the vial ID used in the slide ID is a certain character, touch
the triangle next to “Start at position” to see the “Start at character” field.
