third registration pin that is inside the platesetter.
Step 6. Gently adjust the position of the plate until the green “Expose”
LED stops blinking and stays on steady. (Steady on indicates the
plate is making contact with all the registration pins).
Step 7. The platesetter automatically lowers the pinch rollers.
Note: The platesetter will not lower the pinch rollers until elec-
tronics sensors report that the plate is making good con-
tact with all the registration pins.
If the pin bar isn’t properly seated in its mount, the sen-
sors may not operate correctly and the platesetter may not
close the pinch rollers. If you load a plate that it is making
good contact with the registration pins but the pinch roll-
ers don’t close, try re-seating the pin bar.
After the pinch rollers close, the
platesetter does either of the following,
depending on the setting of the
Automatically Begin Imaging After
Pinching
menu option:
• automatically begins imaging the plate, or
• displays a “
PRESS OK TO BEGIN”
prompt on the control
panel display.
Step 8. If the prompt appears, press the OK button.
Step 9. After the plate is imaged, it is automatically transported to the on-
line processor via the Mako’s media transport.
