Unpack
Reminder: Handle all packing
materials with care. These materials will be used again if you should need to transport
the Imagesetter in the future.
Before you begin unpacking the Imagesetter, ensure that the
unpacking site is large enough to allow easy maneuvering of the Imagesetter. For example,
check the following:
- Available radius for lifting and/or turning the Imagesetter
- Doorway clearance
Checking for Damage
Check that the shipping container is undamaged. Do not proceed with
the installation if it is damaged in any way. Notify the shipping agent immediately.
A shock indicator has been attached to the outside of the
Imagesetter shipping container. This instrument is used to indicate whether excessive
shock was encountered during shipment (for example, if the container was dropped). Examine
this instrument. The following figure shows how to read the gravity shock indicator.

If the shock instrument is missing, or indicates that the
Imagesetter has experienced an excessively large shock, do not proceed with the
installation. Notify the shipping agent immediately.
