2. Select the PRIME PUMP (Water) button. A dialog box appears asking if the pathway is
clear for the arm to move.
Select the YES button. The Autostainer calibrates the reagent dispensing mechanism and
primes the water dispensing pump.
Select the NO button and the SET START TIME window is displayed.
NOTE: The “01” hardware version of the Dako Autostainer does not have an additional
reservoir for deionized water. If your Autostainer does not have this option the software
does not prompt to prime the water pump.
