Using the Manual bypass option:

When the Manual bypass check box is selected in the PlateExp template, Print Console prompts you to manually load the plate. The unload is still automatic directly into the processor via the unload table.

The Manual Bypass option is useful for the following:

• The customer wants to expose a plate other than the size that is currently loaded in the bay.
• When there is a mechanical problem with the plate picker, the user can continue production until the problem is fixed.
• When the customer wants to use a media that cannot be handled by autoload/unload, such as film and very small plates. The customer can check the manual unload box when setting up the media size in Print Console. By selecting both Manual unload in Print Console and Manual bypass in Brisque, the media will be loaded and unloaded manually from the front of the device, similar to a manual Trendsetter.
