2-4 ID Scribe User Manual
Creating a standard spreadsheet for the ID Scribe is simple. First,
launch Excel.
Column A in your Excel Spreadsheet will indicate the labware location
in the rack. The rack is labelled so that you can tell what the placement
of each item is in the rack. In Column A, type in numbers 1 through the
number of labware items you want to print onto.
In Columns B, C and D you can type the characters that you want to
print. For example, you can put "Sample #1" in Column B, "12/1/11"
for the date in Column C and "KWP" for your initials in Column D (Fig
2-6).

Repeat the process or use the excel functions you are already familiar
with (copy, paste, fill, drag, etc.) to add additional tubes to print. For
more detailed information, see Chapter 5: Creating and Editing
Spreadsheets.
Launch the ID Scribe application if you haven't already done so. In the
pull down menu titled "Labware Types", select your type of labware to
be printed on.
Press the button in the upper left corner titled "Load Spreadsheet".
To the right of the "Load Spreadsheet" button is the "Print" button. It
should have a label which corresponds to the labware you selected, i.e.
"Print 3302 Thermo".
