Paper must be loaded and plates must be mounted on the press be it a pile of sheets or a flying paster. He himself may not do this, but he is able to perform these tasks in place of anyone assigned to do them. Many other presets relating to ink settings or paper width are also under his supervision. He performs all of this preparation in a timely and accurate manner.

2. Operates the press. While the press is running, he makes all decisions as to what is acceptable and unacceptable. He makes assignments on his crew if he has others working with him and monitors their progress.
