      If all checks pass continue onward

  2. Add front-feeder-rail and rear-feeder-rail into upper-foam-tray

Package LumenPnP Box

Perform this process 1 machine at a time

It's OK for this work to be performed by the original machine assembler

  1. Gather the following items:

    • Empty LumenPnP box
    • Packaged and QC'd upper-foam-tray
    • Packaged and QC'd lower-foam-tray
    • All relevant shipping paperwork, including packing slip, shipping label, and any international forms

    alt text

  2. Remove the box-sn-label from the upper-foam-tray and adhere it to the LumenPnP box in the region shown below

    It is critical that this label matches the serial number listed on the backside of control-box

    alt text

  3. Adhere shipping documents to box

    • Adhere all relevant shipping documentation to the top left side of the LumenPnP box flap
    • Set the packing slip aside if it lists product pricing information, otherwise it can be adhered below the shipping label

    alt text

  4. Examine the packing slip and take note of what (if any) additional items must be packaged

  5. Open the OQC Checklist

    • Fill out this checklist as you package the LumenPnP

  6. Complete the first page of the OQC Checklist page

  7. Examine the contents of the lower-foam-tray and complete the corresponding OQC Checklist page

  8. Place the packaged lower-foam-tray into the LumenPnP packaging

    • Orient the tray so that the packaged x-gantry is closer to the Opulo logo side of the box

    alt text

  9. Examine the contents of the upper-foam-tray and complete the corresponding OQC Checklist page

  10. Place the packaged upper-foam-tray into the LumenPnP packaging

    • Orient the tray so that the staging plates are closer to the Opulo logo side of the box

    alt text

  11. Complete the corresponding OQC Checklist page

  12. Reference the order's packing list to determine if the box must include any additional items

    • If the order includes additional items, select Yes to this page's last question before proceeding
    • If the order does not include additional items, select No to this page's last question before proceeding
  13. If you answered Yes to the previous question you will be directed to the Extra Items Checklist page

    • Package any additional items required into the open void regions of the LumenPnP's packaging

    If the order includes feeders or items suitable for a feeder-accessory-tray package them above the upper-foam-tray like so:

    alt text alt text

    • After adding any additional items to the order, check-off any additional items this order contains before proceeding

  14. Fill out a getting-started-card with the machine's version number

  15. Peel the wax paper off the back of getting-started-card and adhere it to top-foam sheet

    • Orient the card so that it's bottom edge faces toward the Opulo logo side of the box

    If the order being packed included feeders skip this step

    alt text alt text

  16. Install a top-foam-sheet above the upper-foam-tray

    If the order being packed included feeders skip this step

    alt text

    Is this LumenPnP being shipped with feeders? Follow this note below instead of the above step!

    Use feeder trays and a top-cardboard-pad instead of a top-foam-sheet if the LumenPnP order includes either feeders and/or items that use a feeder-accessory-tray alt text alt text alt text

  17. Proceed to the Finalize Shipment page of the OQC Checklist and work your way through alongside following these last steps

  18. Tape the LumenPnP box shut

    alt text

  19. Adhere an orange sticker to the top-right corner of the box.

    alt text

  20. Click Submit on the final page of OQC Checklist page

The LumenPnP should now be ready for fulfillment!
