5. Operation
It has been noted already that the
PAUSE/STOP
key should be
pressed only
ONCE
when additional slides are to be loaded.
Because if the
PAUSE/STOP
key is pressed
TWICE
, processing is
stopped. If this happens, the message opposite appears in the dis-
play.
• This means that the staining run has been aborted, and the
instrument must be reset by pressing
ENTER
.
• As soon as the user presses the
ENTER
key in this situation, the
transfer mechanism returns to the home position. This is then
the same situation as when the instrument is first switched on.
• The corresponding message appears in the display.
• As soon as the transfer mechanism reaches the start position,
the stainer returns to idle mode; The same starting message is
displayed after successful initialization that is displayed upon
switching.
5.5.4 Ending a staining run prematurely
The role of the
PAUSE/STOP
key in loading additional slides was described in the previous
chapter.
However, this key has a second function, that of terminating a staining run that has already
been started.

Important!
All slide carriers must be removed from the instru-
ment, because all the information in the software has
been reset.
