flipped away

Explanation:
Without any knowledge of the printig process, to me the word suggests:

the inking capinet is flipped away from something, or flipped open.

To me it would imply the opposit of the operating position.

agree J?r?me Faytre: Sounds possible: when not flipped open the inking unit is not "dangerous" and the door can be open.
