3. Push the cassette forward to seat the base firmly against the divider stops.
When it is fully inserted, the cassette engages an optical sensor that detects

location on the User Interface. (Refer to Figure 3-13.)
Note:
Do not slam the cassettes into position. This can cause the slides to pop
out and potentially break.
Note:
Visually check to confirm that slides are not overhanging the retaining
features.
