B Incorrect position—BeadChip is not flat when clip is released.

Set Up a Scan

1 From the Home screen, select Experiment, and then select Scan.
The Scan command opens the imaging compartment door, releases consumables from a previous
run (if present), and opens the series of scan setup screens. A short delay is normal.
Unload Sequencing Consumables
If used sequencing consumables are present when you are setting up a scan, the software prompts you
to unload the reagent cartridge and buffer cartridge before proceeding to the next step.
1 If prompted, remove used sequencing consumables from a previous sequencing run.
a Remove the reagent cartridge from the reagent compartment. Dispose of unused contents in
accordance with applicable standards.
b Remove the used buffer cartridge from the buffer compartment.
WARNING
This set of reagents contains potentially hazardous chemicals. Personal injury can occur
through inhalation, ingestion, skin contact, and eye contact. Wear protective equipment,
including eye protection, gloves, and laboratory coat appropriate for risk of exposure.
Handle used reagents as chemical waste and discard in accordance with applicable
regional, national, and local laws and regulations. For additional environmental, health, and
safety information, see the SDS at support.illumina.com/sds.html.
2 Remove the flow cell from the imaging compartment.
3 Close the reagent compartment and buffer compartment doors.
Load the BeadChip Adapter
1 Use the alignment pins to position the BeadChip adapter on the stage.
