An auxiliary device for a conveying device that takes out a planographic printing plate precursor from a stack in which a plurality of the planographic printing plate precursors are stacked and that conveys the planographic printing plate precursor, the auxiliary device comprising:
- a contact portion configured to come into contact with an edge portion of the planographic printing plate precursor to be conveyed by the conveying device,
- wherein the contact portion is formed of an elastic member including a plurality of regions that are disposed at different positions on a trajectory of the edge portion.
A method for manufacturing a planographic printing plate, the method comprising:
- disposing an elastic member at a position not in contact with a stack in which a plurality of planographic printing plate precursors are stacked;
- taking out the planographic printing plate precursor from the stack and conveying the planographic printing plate precursor to an exposure device;
- and
- developing the planographic printing plate precursor exposed by the exposure device to prepare a planographic printing plate,
- wherein, in the disposing, the elastic member is disposed at a plurality of positions on a trajectory of an edge portion of the planographic printing plate precursor to be conveyed in the conveying, and
- in the conveying, the edge portion of the planographic printing plate precursor is brought into contact with the elastic member.
