According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method for operating a multi-unit printing arrangement, including multiple individual motors is provided. The method comprises the steps of operating the multi-unit printing arrangement, stopping the multi-unit printing operation by braking the multiple motors in stop operations, and staggering impression throw operations for individual units by a preselected time delay between commencement of each impression throw operation, a duration of the time delay between commencement of sequential impression throw off operations being selected to be of sufficient duration such that there is no overlap of large torque disturbances experienced at the multiple motors.

A method for identifying a lateral position of a vibrator roll geared to a plate cylinder in a printing press includes the steps of sensing a reference lateral position of a vibrator roll, setting a counter to a setting corresponding to the reference lateral position of the vibrator roll and rotating a plate cylinder. The lateral position of the vibrator roll changes as a result of the rotating of the plate cylinder and the counter changes as a function of the rotating of the plate cylinder.
