Typesetting, in Printing , refers to the arrangement of letters which, picked up one by one [from the case of type], form a number of lines, pages and sheets. If a typesetter is asked where he is in his typesetting he replies: I still have to do 6 pages and 20 lines of typesetting to finish my sheet.
