Line 7:
A '''manual override''' is a mechanism wherein control is taken from an automated system and given to the user. For example, a manual override in photography refers to the ability for the human photographer to turn off the automatic aperture sizing, automatic focusing, or any other automated system on the camera.<ref>http://www.ambitions4.com/Glossary-Pub-View-Topic-Details.asp?GlossaryID=339&strChar=M</ref>
Some manual overrides can be used to veto an automated system's judgement when the system is in error. An example of this is a printer's ink level detection: in one case, a researcher found that when he overrode the system, he could print up to 38% more pages at good quality from his printer than the automated system would have allowed him to.<ref name=BBC> [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3035500.stm 'Raw deal' on printer ink], ''[[BBC]]'', 3 July 2003 </ref>.
