Reset Tip Boxes
During autosampler use, OilExpress 4 software keeps a count of the clean tips used and the
used tip box positions filled. If the software identifies that the tip boxes need to be refilled,
or if you click the
Review/Reset Tip Boxes
button on an Initialization dialog, the Reset Tip
Boxes dialog is displayed (Figure 17).

.
The
Location
provides some information about the deck position of each tip box. For more
detailed information about your deck layout, you can also refer to the OilExpress 4 on-screen
Help. If you are not sure of the position on the deck of a tip box, select it in the table and
then click
GoTo with Varispan
. The arm will then move to the position of tip 1 in that box.
Injection Station
The injection station is used to dispense samples and cleaning solvent to the flow cell, and as
a reservoir for solvent used to clean the VersaTips during priming. It is installed on the right
of the autosampler deck, mounted on two pins located in positions D8 and D9.
NOTE: When the waste trough is removed, a locating window is visible. This should display
D8 when the injection station is installed on the autosampler deck. For the
OilExpress 4 XL autosampler, this will be D8 on the Right deck.
