PROCESSING

(See diagram opposite)

• The processor must be in “STAND-BY” mode and

ready to process.
• When a plate is entered, either manually
(Off-Line) or automatically (CTP-OnLine) the
processor switches into “PROCESS” mode.
• If necessary you can stop the processing and
reverse the transport system to remove the plate
again.
CAUTION! Reversing is not possible when the
plate has left the input sensor.

• Pushing the “PARAMS” soft key while processing

enables you to change the program parameters.

NOTE! Changes in transport or brush speed

parameters will not take effect until motors
stops and starts again.

• The processor automatically returns to

“STAND-BY” mode shortly after the plate exits.
