SECTION 8: STORAGE AND SHIPMENT 

8.1. STORAGE 

The EPIX Digital Imaging System has been 
designed for long-term operation in a normal 
office environment. The system must be 
protected from adverse conditions such as 
excessive moisture, cold or heat. If the 
system is to be stored for a long period of 
time, pack the unit in its original carton. 

While in storage, keep at moderate 
temperatures and protect against moisture 
and humidity. When you are ready to use the 
system again, unpack it and allow the 
scanner to come back to room temperature. 
Then, follow the guidelines outlined in 
Section 5. 

8.2. SHIPMENT 

The EPIX Digital Imaging System is 
designed to be shipped in its original 
shipping container by normal commercial 
carriers. Ensure that the carousel has been 
removed from the scanner and that the 
carousel well is empty. 

If the system is to be moved long distances 
or under adverse conditions, it should be 

protected. This can be accomplished by 
wrapping the EPIX scanner in a plastic bag 
before putting it in the original packing 
materials. 

If you are shipping the scanner, it is 
necessary to park the optics module in the 
center of travel prior to shipment. Contact 
your Logos Imaging dealer for details.
