CASSETTE WRITER
The cassette printer gives the Histo / Cyto‐labs the possibility for fast and high quality printing of cassettes.
The cassette printer has the capability to print 14 small characters or 9 larger characters. It also can add a string of smaller characters under these former characters.
The cassette is able to print one time or repeat print several times to deepen the colour.
The printer is capable of printing all numbers, symbols and spec. characters as: a, e, m, W, p and roman numbers.
A RS‐232 interface for connecting to a computer system is standard equipped, just as the connection for a barcode scanner. The scanner is optional available.
The ink is reagent resistant against the most used reagents in the Histo / Cyto‐labs, except the use of acetone.
A standard keyboard allows the user to operate the printers fast, safe, precise and very flexible.
To develop the speed of mass printing, the printer can automatically generate the following numbers according to the former numbers.
To avoid any kind of corrosion and friction from chemical reagent, the dryer can make the printed cassettes dry quickly.
The printer has its own special tough and compressive cassettes. The cassettes stay normal even dipped in formalin, xylene and alcohol. So these cassettes can store or file for a very long time.
