Abstract

Operation of printing presses can typically require that various printing jobs be performed consecutively, or that is, one printing job may need to be performed immediately after a previous printing job is completed. Such printing operations can preferably be conducted, without a complete shutdown of the press, by providing a transitional, or changeover operation during which the various settings for the printing press can be changed from the previous settings to settings needed for the subsequent printing job.
