Abstract
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.
