Preparing the Job: The first step is to prepare the printing job. This involves setting up the artwork, selecting the appropriate paper or printing substrate, and determining the desired colors and layout.

Plate Preparation: The GTO 52 uses printing plates, typically made of aluminum or polyester, to transfer the image onto the printing substrate. The plates need to be prepared with the image or text that will be printed. This can be done manually by exposing the plates using a photosensitive process or through a computer-to-plate (CTP) system.

Plate Mounting: Once the plates are prepared, they are mounted onto the plate cylinders of the GTO 52. This can involve manually attaching the plates to the cylinders or using a plate-clamping system for more automated plate loading.
