Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Instead of using wood blocks, Gutenberg used metal instead. This became known as a “movable type machine, ‘’ since the metal block letters could be moved around to create new words and sentences. With this machine, Gutenberg made the very first printed book, which was naturally a reproduction of the Bible.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gutenberg adapted the construction so that the pressing power exerted by the platen on the paper was now applied both evenly and with the required sudden elasticity. To speed up the printing process, he introduced a movable undertable with a plane surface on which the sheets could be swiftly changed.
