About this Manual

This manual describes how to install one of the following Alinte4page Compu-
ter-to-Plate (CTP) systems after an on-site pre-installation check has been com-
pleted.

•

alinte4page entry level: Manual and Semi-Automatic

.

•

alinte4page: Manual, Semi-Automatic and Fully-Automatic Single-Cassette
(SAL) with and without manual load slot (MLS)

.

•

alinte4page: Fully-Automatic with Multi-Cassette Autoloader (MAL)

.

Engineers are recommended to refer to the safety practice information in Chap-
ter Two before starting the installation.

Procedures in this manual should only be carried out by engineers who have
attended an approved FFEI platesetter engineering course.
