When 添付される is used for physical objects. Does it mean "included with" or
physically "attached to"? So far I've only seen 添付 used with email and paper
documents, for which no distinction needs to be made.

For example, if you are thinking about buying a machine, say a CNC, and the
description of the product says

> 設定表は本体に添付されています。

Does it mean that the settings table is physically attached to the machine, or
is it just included with it?

**Edit**  
I finally found a picture to help explain the kind of situation I have in
mind.  
See the safety sheet on [this
machine](http://vintagemachinery.org/photoindex/detail.aspx?id=6050). It is in
a plastic folder that is screwed to the machine. Would this be considered
「本体に添付されています。」? Now, picture the plastic folder hanging from the machine with
string through one of the holes on the left. Would that be considered
「本体に添付されています。」?  
I have to ask with this much detail because I was given the Japanese sentence
`設定表は本体に添付されています。` with the English translation `the settings table is
attached to the machine.` I have to change the English if "attached" is not
correct.

question
meaning usage
添付される for physical objects. Does it mean "included with" or "attached to"?
I know nothing about CNC or its 設定表, but I believe it is packed together.
添付【てんぷ】 always means "place it alongside", so you should find it separately.
If it were built in or written in the machine's memory, I think they would use
内蔵 "store inside".

As an aside, a considerable number of people confuse 添付 with 貼付 "stick on"
(whose correct pronunciation is ちょうふ). In this case, you may find it on any
side of the product, or the box. But it doesn't change the situation here.

The setting seen in the pictures you provided is not the typical case we use
添付 at all, unless the paper can be freely taken out from the folder, or the
folder from the machine. 貼付 might be somewhat better, but we would usually
call it 固定されている or simply 本体にある (if nailed); 連結されている or 結ばれている (if permanently
tied). You can also use 付属, where it just means "come with", regardless of
form.

添付 in the usual sense implies that the attachment is given in a physically
separate medium, unlike the English _attach_.

According to the patent :
[警告{けいこく}表示{ひょうじ}機能付{きのうつき}数値制御装置{すうちせいぎょそうち}](https://astamuse.com/ja/published/JP/No/1996022314)
by DMG森精機{もりせいき}. The safety procedure : 注意書{ちゅういが}き, attached to the bottom
left in the image, is a bit blurry though, it looks similar to the machine in
the image you provided. So, I think the exprssion 「貼付{ちょうふ}」as the other
answer provided, 「貼{は}られている」 basically fit with your question. The following
is the excerpt from the patent. The bold part describes warning labels and
safety procedure is attached to the CNC.

「工作機械には、その工作機械を正しく、安全に操作するために取扱説明書などが付属しており、又、図５や図６に示すように、工作機械本体の警告、注意などが必要と思われる主要箇所には、誤操作を防止したり、機械を安全に使用するための
**警告ラベルや注意書きなどが貼られている** 。これらの警告ラベルなどによりオペレータの誤操作などを防止しようとするものである。」
