Course Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to prepare machines and assist with their operation according to enterprise procedures. It is an integral part of most printing and finishing machine set ups but need not be assessed separately unless it represents the main job of the worker. It can also be used to assess processes on dedicated machines.
This unit is intended to be used by machine minders and offsiders assisting in the operation of a machine.
