Abstract
A start-up guide is associated with a system, such as an imaging system, including shipping elements at a plurality of locations in or on the system. The shipping elements are of a type that should be removed from the system in a predetermined sequence prior to initial operation of the system. The start-up guide includes a removable location indicator at each of the locations at which shipping elements to be removed is located. A linear linking element sequentially connects the location indicators in an order corresponding to the sequence in which the shipping elements are to be removed.
Claims19
In a system including shipping elements at a plurality of locations in or on the system, at least some of the shipping elements being of a type that should be removed from the system prior to initial operation of the system, a start-up guide comprising the following:
- a removable location indicator at each of the locations at which shipping elements to be removed is located;
- sequence indicia on the location indicators denoting a sequence in which the shipping elements are to be removed;
- and
- a generally linear linking element connecting the location indicators in an order corresponding to the sequence indicia.
In an imaging system including shipping elements at a plurality of locations in or on the system, the shipping elements being of a type that should be removed from the system in a predetermined sequence prior to initial operation of the system, a start-up guide comprising the following:
- a removable location indicator at each of the locations at which shipping elements to be removed is located;
- and
- a linear linking element sequentially connecting the location indicators in an order corresponding to a sequence in which the shipping elements are to be removed.
In an imaging system including shipping elements at a plurality of locations in or on the system, the shipping elements being of a type that should be removed from the system in a predetermined sequence prior to initial operation of the system, a method for indicating the sequence in which shipping elements are to be removed, the method comprising the following steps:
- providing a removable location indicator at each of the locations at which shipping elements to be removed is located;
- and
- sequentially connecting the location indicators, in an order corresponding to the sequence in which the shipping elements are to be removed, with a linear linking element.
