Description:

This parameter rotates the image on the plate to compensate for the position of the plate registration pins. This parameter is calibrated during factory integration and normally should not change after this. Adjustments should be made with advice from factory integrators.

A positive rotation angle will rotate the image in a counter-clockwise direction.

For the 3244 Trendsetter, plates that are smaller than 560mm in width (sscan direction), the middle registration pin is used and the small_plate_rotate gc parameter is used instead of the plate_rotate gc parameter.

For the Trendsetter News, on machines with the toe-in pin configuration (100 label #6), plates that are smaller than 800mm but larger than 450mm sit on pins 1 and 3 (counting from the home side), and use this small_plate_rotate gc parameter.

For the VLF Trendsetter, plates that are smaller than 762mm, the middle registration pin is used and the small_plate_rotate gc parameter is used instead of the plate_rotate gc parameter. Note that there is another plate rotation parameter (very_small_plate_rotate) that is used for plates smaller than 560mm.

Type:

Default:

• -900 (Trendsetter_400/800)
• -400 (Trendsetter_VLF)

Range:

• -32767 to 32767 [microrads]

Notes:

When loading the plate onto the drum, the plate is not aligned in the center.

For the 3244 Trendsetter, the plate is positioned 117mm from the center line of a 32" plate and the center line of a 22" plate.

For the VLF Trendsetter, the plate is positioned 558mm from the center line of a 32" plate and the center line of a 22" plate.
