First I learned to compose and read backwards.
My second job was at another local print-publishing shop where I was trained to use the Heidelberg press. Here I learned how to print newspapers, books, brochures, etc. I also learned quickly the manual typesetting.
Typesetting is the composition of text by means of types.
Typesetting requires the prior process of designing a font and storing it in some manner. Typesetting is the retrieval of the stored letters (called sorts in mechanical systems and glyphs in digital systems) and the ordering of them according to a language's orthography for visual display.
