Warning
Cassettes of other manufacturers must be tested before use. The test must include the following
steps:
• Mechanical compatibility with the instrument. Imprint quality.
• Resistance of the ink against the reagents with which the imprinted cassettes come into contact
in the subsequent processes (→ p. 24 – Resistance against reagents).
Important!
Leica Biosystems assumes no responsibility whatsoever for any damages suffered as a consequence
of imprints of poor quality or imprints made with non-reagent-resistant ink.

Cassette type
• There are two different cassette types, which have a different angle, and therefore a different
printable area.
• The angle (→ "Fig. 9"), measured from the bottom, can be 35 ° (→ "Fig. 9-1") or 45 ° (→ "Fig. 9-2").
• This must be taken into account in the settings for the printer driver (→ p. 57 – 5.4 Printer driver
settings).
