Scanning Parameters

Note that certain scanning parameters (such as image compression type) have been preselected and

cannot be changed. This ensures that your results are consistent with the Aperio clinical studies on

which the FDA clearances for the Aperio AT2 DX System were based.

Start the Console by double-clicking the Console icon on the Windows Desktop or from the Windows Start menu by

clicking Start, pointing to All Programs > ScanScope, and then selecting ScanScope Console.

You can only use the Console on a workstation directly connected to the scanner.

When you first start the Console you see a connection screen that asks you to log in. Enter the user name and password

required by your MDDS. If you are not sure what user name and password to use, contact your system administrator for

help.

For quality control, the Aperio AT2 DX System requires the use of barcodes on your slide labels to provide slide identification

information. The Aperio AT2 DX will mark as a failed scan any slide on which it was not able to read the barcode.

Barcode formats supported by this system are:

Data Matrix

Interleaved 2 of 5

PDF417

MicroPDF

QR Code

Code 128

If the Aperio AT2 DX scanner is unable to interpret the barcode on the label of your slide, the slide will appear on the

Console window in red to indicate the scan failed.

In this case, inspect the slide to see if that area of the slide needs to be cleaned.

If you are unable to make the barcode area of the label readable to the scanner, you can manually enter barcode data. (The

text you enter depends on your institution's policy for what information should be in the barcode.)
