a) CTP Computer To Plate is a laser imaging technology, that directly applies precision
bitmap informaon that processed by the RIP in Pre-press, on to digital offset plates by using
thermal laser ablaon or visible UV light exposing technique.Generally it consists of offset
plate mounng drum, opcal imaging system, laser driver system, scanning device, plate
mounng and releasing mechanism, vacuum adsorpon, dedusng device, the overall control
system and other components.
b) Depends on applicaons, CTP can be categorized as: Newsprint CTP (Resoluon:
1200~1800dpi), Commercial C TP (Resoluon: 1800~2800dpi), CommercialNews
CTP(1500~2540dpi)
c) There are 5 available CTP formats: 26series(max.format 670x570), 36series(max.format
925x675), 46series(max.format 1160x940), 60series(max.format 1524x1200),
72series(max.format 1850x1422)
d) Materials used are selecon of environmentally friendly materials and comply with
environmental laws and regulaons. We avoid using hazardous materials in the device and
strong abide to environmental proteconrequirements.

Chapter 2: Overview
Equipment must be grounded effecvely;
To protect the equipment and personal safety, it is recommended to install indoor lightning arresng rod;
All maintenance work on the equipment must be carried out with the power off；
When the equipment is working, do not touch the moving parts of the machine with your hands or fingers.
Only under the circumstances necessary to dismantle the device casing;
Be aenon to the machinery operaon, always wear gloves, tools and parts must be placed in an orderly
manner；
Do not perform any maintenance or modificaons to the equipment system that is not authorized by CRON.
Do not place any foreign objects on the device;
In non-emergency situaons, it is strictly prohibited to press the emergency stop buon;
In the operaon of mechanical parts, always wear gloves, so as to avoid rusng parts; tools and parts should be
placed in order;
Avoid overhead collision during equipment operaon.
This device is not intended to be used in an explosive or potenally explosive atmosphere.
Fireworks is prohibited near the occasion of this device;
Prevent water or other liquids from flowing into the interior of the device;

and regulaons of the hazardous material management authority in the country / region in which it is used.
To ensure that customer’s installaon site, environment and condions, are able to meet and comply to the
equipment operaonal requirements.
Refer to Table 3-1, given the size of the machine and consider the space needed, minimum distance between
wall and machine is 100cm, sizes of the room(space) needed for the machine installaon can be determined. It
is also advisable to reserve some room space close to the installed machine for placement of plates and media
too.
Doors and corridors at the installaon site must be wide enough ( 145cm) so that the machine can be
pushed into the room.Floor level should be maintained at ± 4mm. If installaon to be done above ground floor,
this requires an industrial elevator that have can load more than 2000kg. Aer the machine is in place, the
machine requires leveling by using a level gauge.
Working room temperature: 18°C ---- 28°C
Environment humidity: 40% ---- 60%, Non-condensing
Air quality: should meet internaonal quality standards, that is, API value
is less than or equal to 100;

Set the plate size of the jobs template. Size direction refers to the lower right diagram.Thickness
should be in accordance with the actual measurement. (Available largest and smallest format
depends on CTP model).
Laser power is set manually, in accordance with the energy needs of the plate, value should not
exceed the factory default maximum power;
Note: If the Auto Power Adjust is checked, platemaking exposure is automatically adjusted
according to Light Sensitivity value entered. It is strongly recommended to choose this option.
Exposure drum speed selection, in accordance with the actual production settings. Maximum
exposure speed is determined by the plate sensitivity, maximum laser power and drum speed limit.

b) Connect the power cord: TPV input power cord to be connected to the host CTP indicated vacuum power
connector.
a) The working status of the TPV is influenced by the host CTP device. When the CTP device is
working(imaging plate), the TPV dedusng unit will be running and operang indicator light will be on. When
the CTP device finishes the plate imaging operaon, the TPV dedusng unit will stopped, and the operang
status indicator light will be off.
b) When TPV motor temperature exceeded 80°C , the alarm indicator of the TPV unit will be on to remind the
user of TPV unit status, and may need to stop the unit for cooling down or require for service and repair if
necessary.
c) When TPV motor temperature exceeded 100°C, the alarm indicator of the TPV unit will be on to remind
the user of the TPVunit status and cut off the input power of the TPV unit.
Regular cleaning: every 3 months to clean the filter, replace the filter every year.
Filter replacement method:
a) Open the TPV unit top cover
b) Remove the internal filter for cleaning or
replacement
c) Put back the cleaned filter (new)

a) Note: when ordering the Straight In-line Bridge to be bundled with the
host CTP device, reserved BGP connector port will be replaced with cable
connecon port for Straight In-line Bridge connector.
b) USB port connecon for host CTP device TP26 / TP36 / TP46 / TP60
models can be located on the same connecvity panel as shown in below;
c) For TP72CTP device, the Straight In-line Bridge connector is located
lower le underneath where the bridge installed.
a) Plate Stoppers is closed (flat): bridge is in full working mode. Plate will be transported through the bridge into
the processor unit;
b) Plate Stoppers is opened (flip up): convert bridge become atemporary single plate stacker.
a) Regularly clean the conveyor belt, conveying the upper plane
b) Regularly check bridge level(height) and posion against CTP & processor
