The GenePix Pro Software automatically logs hardware
performance into the Hardware Diagnostics Report every two
hours during operation.
Manual Scanning
In Manual scan mode, the GenePix Pro Software operates the scanner
only, in a conventional way. You can open and close the motorized
scanner door, perform Preview Scans, Data Scans, adjust scanner
settings from the Hardware Settings dialog box, and stop and start
scans.
Any Global file options (Save locations, File name) set during a batch
scan apply when performing a manual scan.
Follow the instructions carefully when inserting a slide in the scanner
slide holder. The slide holder is a precision component designed to
ensure proper focusing and field uniformity. Improper handling may
damage the slide holder and affect imaging performance. In Manual
scan mode, the GenePix SL50 Slide Loader is inactive and will not
move.
