Installation
Windows XP requires that you manually install the driver using the
Add New
Hardware
Wizard. This wizard starts any time a new Plug and Play device is
detected. Working through the wizard, select the option to “Install the software
automatically (Recommended)”. Press
Next
and then press
Finish
when prompted.
Repeat the procedure seven additional times.
If you are connecting the GenePix scanner to a computer that was purchased with
the GenePix scanner, the driver is already installed.
Connecting the Security Key
The GenePix Pro software requires a security key to operate. If the key is absent
you will be able to open images in GenePix Pro, but you will not be able to save
your settings files or save your analysis results. In addition, you can analyze only
1000 features without a key.
To install the GenePix Pro key, please consult the instructions in the GenePix Pro
manual.

this does not occur please verify the following items:
•
The data cable between the computer and the scanner is securely connected.
•
The GenePix scanner has power (the green power light at the front of the
scanner will be glowing).
•
The SCSI card is operational (see above).
