You don't specifically need to use an ME network to automate them, but it is a simple way to do it.
The main thing to take into account with the inscriber is the slot items get placed into depends on which side you insert the items from.
From the
AE wiki page
What you should also get from the above is that there's no side specifically to remove any press you insert, so my automated inscriber setups usually end up with 5 of the bloody things (one each for silicon,logic,engineering and calculation then piping the outputs to a fifth one for final processor assembly)
