4-2 ID Scribe User Manual Thermo Scientific
The SideWriting™ racks fit on the same pins as the TopWriting racks,
but these racks require the included rack base to first be loaded into the
ID Scribe to bring the labware up high enough to reach the pen (Fig. 4-
2).
Labware such as tubes and vials are loaded into the side writing racks by
pressing the tube lengthwise into each slot. The head of the tube usually
points to the left, but in some cases you can reverse this orienation. The
bottom of the tube should touch the right divider and the tube body
should rest at the bottom of the slot. You may need to test print a couple
of pieces of labware to be sure you are satisfied with the placement of
tubes the first time you use the ID Scribe.
