Claim 55:
56. The system of claim 55, wherein the system is further configured to detect an actual position and angle of the plate on the surface, the processor further programmed with instructions for:
(f) detecting a change in signal received from the sensor while the positioner is in motion from the first position to the second position indicative of a location of a first edge of the plate;
(g) detecting a change in signal received from the sensor while the positioner is in motion between at least two other pairs of points, each pair including one point above the expected location of the printing plate and one point not above the expected location of the printing plate, and detecting respective changes in signals received from the sensor while the positioner is in motion between each pair of points, each change indicative of locations of second and third edges of the plate;
(h) processing the signals indicative of the locations of the first, second, and third edges of the plate to obtain a detected actual position and angle of the plate on the surface.
