Thermo Scientific ID Scribe User Manual 8-9
When launched, the ID Scribe software will automatically look for
Labware Files in the default labware files folder. This folder is usually
named “labwaretypes” and is found in the same folder that the ID Scribe
application is found.
To add a new Labware File simply copy the Labware File you received
on your CD or via E-Mail to the “labwaretypes” folder located inside the
ID Scribe directory.
The next time you restart the ID Scribe software, the filename of the
Labware File should appear in the “Labware” pulldown menu.
You are now ready to print on your new labware type using the rack
that was shipped to you.
New Labware Files sometimes need to be adjusted slightly. To do so,
follow the following procedure:
Select desired labware in "labware" pull-down menu.
1. Print tube 1 (top left corner).
2. Under "Advanced -> Rack Settings" in the ID Scribe software
program adjust X and / or Y starting position.
3. Click "Overwrite ...Tube" button in the bottom left of the screen.
4. Reprint tube 1.
5. Repeat steps 3-5 until printing occurs in the desired position on the
tube.
6. Print last tube (bottom right position of the rack).
7. Under "Advanced -> Rack Settings" in the ID Scribe software
program adjust X and / or Y spacing.
8. Click "Save " button in the bottom left of the screen.
9. Reprint last tube until printing occurs in the desired position on the
tube.
