• Never use the Leica LP C Laser Cassette Printer without ensuring that the filter unit is con-
nected properly and is working. Doing so will cause the instrument to malfunction and expel
harmful dust particles.
• Always set up the Leica LP C on a stable, flat surface. Set up the LP C Laser Cassette Printer

• Remember that minor color changes can occur in LP C cassettes if these are exposed to re-
agents that contain Picric acid, e.g. Bouin's fixative.
• Remember that text imprinted on Leica LP C cassettes can become illegible or be lost if these
are exposed for long periods to solutions that contain strong acids. Decalcification process-
es of tissue in Leica LP C cassettes that involve strong acids such as nitric acids, must be
checked by the users before implementation.
