I think it means, in addition to what Joe said, that the screening is already applied at the last stage before imaging. That means that if you are imaging 1-bit files, the screen angles and frequency is built into the 1-bit file, as opposed to the screening being applied on the fly as it is imaged.

I output from a Brisque to a Lotem platesetter, and it is not a 1-bit system. I can image the same ripped file at various linescreens and angles without having to change the file at all.
