If several successive sheets B _n sequentially store, so that this first operational mode m1 repeated as often as necessary so that the brake means 48, 49, that is to be deposited, the holding means 92, the speed v92 between conveying speed v32 v on depositing speed _from and back in time to the incoming and Sheet B _n changes.

When changing to storage speed v _ab , the speed v92 of the

Holding means 92 during the active contact with the conveyed sheet B preferably lowered to a speed v _from the z. B. at most 50%, advantageously less than 20%, preferably less than 10% of the conveying speed v32. Essentially the conveying speed v32 corresponding higher speed v92 of

Holding means 92 is in stationary operating situation about z. B. at least 4 m / s, for example in the range of 4 to 9 m / s, in particular in the range of 5 to 8 m / s. In contrast, the storage speed v _from z. B. at most 2 m / s, for example in the range of 0.5 to 2 m / s, in particular in the range of 0.7 to 1, 4 m / s.

The deceleration, ie the lowering of the speed v92 of the holding means 92 from the speed v92 corresponding to the conveying speed v32 to the depositing speed v _ab, takes place, for example, in the sheet path s only in a phase in which the front edge 109 of the sheet B to be deposited is _{n + 1} ; B _P only less than half an arc length from the escape s2 to the downstream stack trailing edge and the leading edge 1 1 1 of the sheet to be deposited B _{n + 1} ; B _{P is located} only less than half an arc length from the escape s1 to the upstream stack leading edge.

In the second operating mode m2, z. B. a guide mode m2, in which one or several sheets B over the first stack 1 1, z. B. waste stack 1 1, or the

Dispensing stations I are to be carried away, the drive 106 over at least the entire phase of the contact between the braking device 48, 49, d. H. the holding means 92, and operated over the stack 1 1 and the dispensing station I wegzuführendem sheet B at a speed which at the holding means 92 a substantially the

Conveying speed v32 causes corresponding speed v92. If there is a constant conveying speed v32, this is likewise at least during o. G. Contact phase constant. This second operating mode m2 is basically independent of the presence or the specific embodiment of a first operating mode, but is of particular advantage in connection with an embodiment of a first operating mode set forth here.

In a preferred embodiment of the braking device 48; 49 are over appropriate

Switching means 107 clocked activatable and deactivatable retaining means 92 are provided. For clocking the switching means 107 is available, for example, with control means S107 in

Signal connection, which is designed and arranged to activate and deactivate the holding means 92 synchronized and / or to effect a correlation to a machine and / or printing material phase position Φ. In the case of two operating modes m1; m2, these differ, for example, not only in the phase-related velocity profile, but also in the switching profile for the wiring, d. H. Activation and deactivation of the holding means 92.

In the first operating mode m1, the holding means 92 is deactivated in the entire or at least part of the positive acceleration phase from the depositing speed v _down to the conveying speed v32. In the embodiment as suction elements 92, the suction is at least temporarily set in this phase, ie the application of a negative pressure p ^" on the suction element 92 is interrupted.

In the second operating mode m2, the activation of the holding means 92 over at least the entire phase of the contact between the braking device 48, 49, ie the

Holding means 92, and maintained over the stack 1 1 and the dispensing station I wegzuführendem sheet B. Preferably, the suction or the negative pressure p- remains maintained over the entire cycle. In the embodiment as suction elements 92, in at least this contact phase the suction remains switched on, ie the vacuum p ^{"is maintained} on the suction element 92. Preferably, the suction or the vacuum p ^" remains over the entire cycle from the entry of the sheet B _n to be transferred into the Area of the braking device 48; 49, in particular in the effective range of

Holding means 92, until the next sheet B _{n + 1} enters the area of the braking device 48; 49, in particular in the effective range of the holding means 92, turned on. Are several consecutive sheets B _{n + 1} ; B _{n + 2 can be} successively transferred, the suction or the negative pressure p ^" remain switched on over the duration of the relevant cycles.

By sucking over the entire cycle, in particular over the cycles of several sheets to be transferred, it is ensured that the sheet in the second

Operating mode m2, ie the guide mode m2, the sheet to be transferred B _{n + 1} detected and spans substantially without relative movement over the stack to be transferred 1 1, 12. This prevents or at least reduces a "break-in" of the sheet B _{n + 1} to be transferred into the storage chute of the stack 1 1 to be transferred, which allows transfer without sacrificing quality, which is particularly relevant for high-speed productions.

A suction air permanently switched on in the second operating mode m2 favors the earliest possible starting and holding of the trailing edge of the sheet B.

For the two operating modes m1; m2 are, for example, in the control means S48; S49 two mutually different provisions for the generation of set values for the speed v92 of the holding means 92 held. The regulations include For example, a dependence on the conveying speed v32 and can depend on other influencing variables and by operating personnel

be parameterizable.

The regulations include each different

ToOrdnungsvorschriften between the current conveyor speed v32 and a setpoint or setpoint curve for the speed v92 of the holding means 92. For the ZuOrdnungsvorschrift the second mode of operation m2 is at least for the duration of contact with the sheet B a proportional to the conveying speed v32 correlated course of the holding means speed v92 and for the

For regulation of the first operating mode m1 within at least part of the duration of the contact with the sheet B at least one ramp with a relative to the conveying speed v32 sloping course of the holding means speed v92 provided.

As already indicated, the starting section 78 in the region of its upstream end has a run-on slope, preferably with a rounded edge 84, in particular upper edge 84. For this purpose, the conveyor system 21 facing, essentially flat guide surface 79 of the starting section 78 is in a downwardly bent, z. B. rounded starting surface 81 continues. Under the substantially flat guide surface 79 should be next to actually flat surfaces and slightly curved surfaces with a radius of curvature of z.

Radius of curvature of at least 5 mm, preferably of at least 10 mm, and preferably a maximum radius of curvature of z. B. 500 mm, in particular 200 mm. The radius of curvature here must not be constant in the considered section but can vary. An optionally mentioned rounded start-up surface 81 comprising legs can basically in the transverse direction, d. H. in the direction of the width of the delivery device, be continuous, partially interrupted or designed in several parts (see, for example, Fig. 8). The expression of the "plane guide surface" is intended to include below the above case of a slightly curved surface.

As "edge" 84 of the starting section 78 in the above sense, the upper corner region of the starting section 78 should be understood here, regardless of whether it is formed, for example, by the rounded corner of a solid component or, for example, by a bent-down metal sheet.

Preferably, in or before the vertical alignment of the contact surface 79 and below the given by the guide surface 79 height stop means 81 a

Anchoring device provided which for the in the first dispensing station I

In addition, movable stop means 83 may be provided, which by a drive means 64 with at least one drive means 99 in a first, z. B. active operating state beyond the given by the guide surface 79 height and in a second, z. B. inactive operating state are arranged below this level. In a little elaborate execution, several of the

Stop means 83 may be moved or moved together, for example via a connection or shaft. The start-up section 78 can in the region of its guide surface 79th and / or in the region of its contact surface 81 and / or in the region of its rounded edge 84 air passage openings 68; 69, in particular blowing air openings 69 or

blown air passage openings 69, have.

The blast air supply can be formed by an air box which adjoins the material section 84 on the inside.

In a preferred embodiment, the blast air supply is formed by a blowing air line 98 running on the inside of the material section in the transverse direction, the wall of which in turn comprises outlet openings arranged corresponding to the blown air openings 97. The blast air line 98 is preferably formed at least in the region of its side facing the material portion 84 with a corresponding to the inside of the material portion shape. For example, the blast air duct 98 is a blower tube having a circular outer peripheral cross section and the material portion 84 is at least in the region of its blast air duct 97

opposite section in cross-section circular arc. The blast air openings 97 provided in the material section 84 have a larger opening than the outlet openings, at least in a direction running in the direction of movement of the printing material sheet guided over the starting section 84

In a particularly advantageous development, the preferably tube-like blown air line 98 can be mounted pivotably about an axis extending in the transverse direction. This makes it possible to adjust the position of the blown air outlet along the sheet movement direction at least slightly, in particular with respect to the outlet openings in the above-described larger blown air openings 97.

The starting section 78 designed in this way can in principle be used independently of the design of the dispensing device 03 with a plurality of dispensing station I; II be provided in the region of a beginning of a sheet guiding elements comprehensive conveyor line.

However, this is preferably at the beginning of a between two dispensing stations I; II arranged conveyor line provided.

Conventionally, the sheet B, guided only at the front edge by the conveyor system 21 or the holding device 32, in particular the holding elements 56, sinks into the shaft of the overrun dispensing station I; II until it is in equilibrium with the forming at the bottom of natural air cushion. The continuation of the bowing on predominantly horizontal guideway can be crossed at the end of the

Dispensing station I; II - especially in certain operating situations with, for example, low stack level .- lead to a harmful level jump. In this case, the natural air cushion can not, the sheet B as a wing over this stage on the following sheet guide 47.5; 78, in particular run-up plate 78 to lift. Especially at higher speeds, it may come to a striking contact with damaging contact on the underside of the arc B.

The possible effects may be due to one or more of the aforementioned

Measures (rounding and / or blowing air) are avoided or at least mitigated. Instead of or in addition to one or more of the named

Measures is in a particularly advantageous embodiment of the delivery device 03 and / or the sheet guiding device 47 and / or of a dispensing station I; II directly downstream sheet guiding element 47.5; 78, in particular one of a

Sheet guide 47.5 included or this upstream start-up section 78, this or this or at least the guided bow B facing

Guide surface 79 formed with at least its upstream end in the vertical position variable and / or stored. In particular, this sheet guiding element 47.5; 78 or this start-up section 78 by means of a controllable drive means 283 made variable in its vertical position.

At least the upstream end of the starting portion 78 is in height to the variable stacking level, d. H. the height of the uppermost sheet B in the stack 1 1; 12, adjustable. Preferably, this end - in particular via control means - automatically adjustable in height to the variable stack level. For this purpose, the drive means 283 comprised by the actuator, in particular its control unit or drive controller, is in signal connection to a vertical position of at least the end of the

Sheet guiding element 78 in dependence and / or correlates to the stack level adjusting control means.

The placement or the variation occurs at least within a operational

provided adjusting range, which extends from an upper layer L ₀ , in the continuous printing in already partially formed stack 1 1; 12 of a minimum height without further

Height variation of the starting section 78 is stored to reach the finish stack height, down to a lower layer Lu, in which z. B. is stored in production at the beginning of stacking (see, for example, Fig. 9a) and c). The latter is approached, for example, when the time of the process of the stacking table 36; 37 should at least partially be used until reaching the working height assumed above for the printing and / or if at the beginning of stacking the working height, d. H. that in the o. g.

Continuing pressure level of the top sheet layer to be ideally taken, due to a limited travel for the stacking table 36; 37 is not accessible with low stack heights. The between these two layers L _Q ; Lu located layers L _z (see, eg. Fig. 9b) may in principle be stationary in other special operating situations or be, however, are or are regularly on the way between the two other layers L ₀ ; Only pass through dynamically. Of the

operatively provided adjustment range between the upper and lower layer L ₀ ; For example, Lu amounts to at least 50 mm, preferably more than 100 mm. Basically, on one or both sides beyond these two limits (layer L ₀ and layer Lu) beyond layers be mitfahrbei, which, however, are approachable, for example, for set-up or maintenance or other non-operational actions.

The start-up section 78 is designed and / or supported by the said variability in such a way that it also reduces levels which are lower than the maximum or in-progress stack level, the current stack level with the, preferably horizontal, sheet guide level higher for this case, ie. H. the level specified by the course of the conveyor system connects. Here, the "stack level" is understood to mean the vertical position of the upper stack end.

As drive means 283, for example, a motor 283, in particular an electric motor 283 is provided which z. B. via a gear 284 middle or immediately on

Sheet guiding element 47.5; 78 and start-up section 78 attacks. As a gear 284 may advantageously be provided a spindle drive 284, whose by the motor 283

driven threaded spindle 286 in a middle or directly with the

Sheet guiding element 47.5; 78 or the start-up section 78 connected bearing block 287 engages. In principle, the drive for varying the position of only one side can be done by only one actuator with motor 283 or from two sides by a respective actuator with motor 283. In an advantageous embodiment, the positioning is effected by an actuator with only one motor 283, but from two sides. For this purpose, for example, both sides medium or directly on the starting section 78 engaging gear 284 are provided, the movement of which is mechanically, for.

However, it is preferably embodied as a cylinder-piston system 99 that can be acted upon with pressurized fluid, in particular as a pneumatic cylinder 99.

The groups or individual stop means 83; Although 86 moving pneumatic cylinder 99 may in principle be connected via a common switching valve and / or supplied with compressed air. Preferably, however, for each of the groups or individually to be moved stop means 83; 86 each have their own switching means 101, in particular switching valves 101, short valves 101, provided, on which, for example

Compressed air is present on the input side and which via appropriate control signals the applied compressed air can be switched to the output side and via a

Line connection the relevant pneumatic cylinder 99 can be acted upon.

In principle, the groups or preferably individual stop means 83; 86 via the drive means 99 associated switching means 101 and valves 101, for example, in the manner of a valve terminal, be centrally summarized at one point. In a preferred embodiment, the switching means 101, in particular valves 101 but decentralized and / or at least in groups or preferably all spatially spaced from each other, in particular arranged in each case close to the associated pneumatic cylinder 99. In this case, the switching means 101 or valves 101, for example, each closer to the associated pneumatic cylinder 99 arranged as to or one of the other pneumatic cylinder 99. At least they are closer to the associated pneumatic cylinder 99 arranged as half of the distance between the two furthest apart pneumatic cylinders 99th

A switching of the valves 101 takes place, for example, synchronized and / or in a correlation to a machine and / or printing material phase position of control means S83 (S86) a controller forth, for example, is in signal communication with a sensor or a master from which they the machine and / or

Information concerning printing material phase position and / or representing Ι (Φ) receives. A movement of the stops in the active position can then take place, for example, exactly in a gap between two incoming printing material sheet B. In a known and / or constant sheet travel can for example by a pre-tax

Dead time compensation done.

The control means S83 (S86) may be part of a higher-level machine control or else provided in a decentralized manner and, if necessary, connected to such.

The switching of the stop means 83; 86 takes place z. B. depending on whether a printing material B in the upstream dispensing station I; II, or should be forwarded to another dispensing station II or a sample sheet removal.

In the case of the abovementioned blowing device integrated in the region of the edge 84, for example, an activation and deactivation of a blast air supply takes place as a function of whether a printing material sheet B in the upstream dispensing station I; II, or else to another dispensing station II or a sample sheet withdrawal

should be further promoted.

In an advantageous development of the starting section 78, in the guide surface 79 and / or in the guide surface 79 continuing surface of the

Sheet guiding element 41.5 blowing air openings 69, in particular in the manner of Venturi nozzles 69, provided.

In a first embodiment, for example, as a stop means 83rd

Start-up section 78 integrated and / or arranged on this. Here, the guide surface 79 z. B. recesses 102, in which the trained example in the first embodiment stops 83 are retracted in the inactive state.

In the embodiment with vertically variable upstream start-up section end, this stop device can then be fixed to the frame with pivotable stop means 83 or can be arranged to be vertically movable together with the start-up section end.

Furthermore, in a variant of the embodiment not shown here, the stop device comprising the pivotable stop means 83 can be integrated into the structural unit of the start-up section 78, which already has the printing material sheet B applied in the upstream dispensing station I.

hold down, while subsequent printing material B to another

Delivery station II or a donor site are transferred. Such

Holding device is z. B. in the event of an intentional re-storage of another sheet B on the stack 1 1, 12 of the upstream discharge station I at least for the time required for this from the movement path of the sheet B removable. By such a holding device entrainment already filed bow B can be prevented, but at least made difficult.

When filing change from the first to a subsequent stack 1 1; 12, z. B. the

Makulaturstapel 1 1 on the good sheet stack 12, the necessary for filing on the first stack 1 1, the sheet B catching stop means 83 are brought out of trajectory of the sheet B in order for the transfer of printing material B, z. B. Gutbogen to have a free passport room available. However, the problem may arise that -. B. despite any possibly provided blowing device - the last just filed bow B, which possibly still provided with air inclusions

Form "floatable" Ries and by the fluidic forces of the example as Gripper carriage 32 trained holding means 32 which promote the bow B at full speed, a Trift arises, which can lead to entrainment of the ream or single bow B at the end.

In order to be able to counteract this, one or more stops 83 - as in the first embodiment set forth above - be embodied and movably mounted so that they are in the active state, ie. H. in an active position, in the trajectory of the printing material B are B and this with the leading bow ends facing side, z. B. a stop surface, are effective as a front stop, and in the inactive state, d. H. in inactive position, from the trajectory incoming printing material B moved out, that are arranged outside the trajectory, and are for the incoming printing material B without impact effect.

In addition to this, one or more of the movable stop means 83 is associated with a holding means 299 forcibly moved with the movement of the stop means 83 and protruding beyond the stop face in the direction of the incoming printing material sheet 83 in at least one inactive position of the stop means 83 Retains the uppermost substrate sheet B in the region of its downstream edge from being lifted off and entrained by the printing material sheet B to be transferred. Preferably, the holding means 299 comes in the active position of the associated stop means 83 downstream and / or above the movement path of the printed material to be dispensed to the stack 1 1 sheet B and in inactive position of the associated stop means 83 below the path of movement over the stack 1 1 away to be further promoted Substrate sheet B and above the uppermost substrate sheet B of the stack 1 1 to lie.

The stop means 83 associated holding means 299 thus stops at inactive

Stop means 83, the uppermost layer of the stack 1 1 down against a lifting and / or entrainment by subsequently to be transferred to printing material B. In this case, the holding means 299 in holding position actually or almost, z. B. with a maximum of one slight distance, be spent in touching contact with the top stack layer. A maximum slight distance can z. B. correspond to a length, with which viewed in plan view, the retaining means located in holding position 299 and the stack floor plan at the downstream end of the stack 1 1 in the transport direction T overlap.

The assignment of the holding means 299 can be implemented in a preferred embodiment such that an upper part of the stop means 83, which is in an inactive position, comprises the holding means 299 which reaches upstream over the stack edge. Alternatively, a holding means 299- rigid or via a mechanical coupling - be so connected to the stop means 83, so forced by movement of the stop means 83, the required movement of the holding means 299 takes place and / or conversely with movement of the holding means 299 the relevant movement of the stop means 83rd

Preferably, the stop means 83 as in the active position the approaching printing material B is designed as a front stop stop 83 which - especially in the region of its inactive position upper end - to hold down the topmost stack layer as a holding means 299 a rising upstream on the stop surface 302 and with the stack floor plan at its downstream end, at least as a holding means 299 overlapping projection 299 in the manner of a downwardly bent retaining finger. The hold-down projection 299 or holding finger can also be referred to as a cover mark 299.

In the execution of the stop means 83, in which they include the holding means 299 beat when stored on the stack 1 1 to be deposited substrate B, z. B. waste sheet, against these movable stop means 83 and stops 83 at. When further conveying the substrate B, z. B. good bow, over the stack 1 1 away, z. B. to a subsequent dispensing station II, these stop means 83 from their lying in the trajectory "catcher position" in one outside the Trajectory lying retracted position spent, wherein the embracing 83 encompassed holding means 299 and 299 Deckmarken hold down the top stack against entrainment and / or against slipping.

In principle, the movement of the stop means 83 can be effected by pivoting, wherein z. B. contrary to the above embodiment, the pivoting for taking the retreat position not downstream, but takes place in the upstream direction. In this case, by the upwardly pivoted stop means 83, for example, hold down the topmost stack sheet. The movement can also take place on any other movement path, provided that the stop means 83 and the retaining means 299 assigned to it assume the positions defined above.

In a preferred embodiment, however, the stop means 83 is arranged and / or stored such that the movement of the retaining means 299 comprising

Lifting means 83 is rectilinear, in particular on a substantially

vertical line, d. H. a maximum of 5 °, in particular by a maximum of 2 °, preferably by a maximum of 1 ° from the vertical deviating direction. Preferably, the movement of the abutment means 83 is guided, so that the or at least one point of the holding surface facing the sheet B to be held is subjected to an exact straight guide.

Preferably, the stop means 83 is arranged and / or stored such that the holding means 299 in the retraction movement in the entire operating range, the z. B. from an upper layer, in which an incoming sheet B is trapped or is to be, to a lower layer in which an incoming sheet B can happen and the upper stack sheet is held down, the stack floor plan in the region of the downstream end stack never leaves completely, ie in top view always an above-mentioned overlap between holding means 299 and stack floor plan remains. The retraction movement ends, for example, in contact or at least - in the above sense - close to the contact with the top sheet B of the stack 1. As already stated above, for moving all, one group or preferably of the single stop means 83; In principle, the drive means 99 may be configured as desired, but is preferably designed as a cylinder-piston system 99, in particular as a pneumatic cylinder 99, which can be acted upon with pressurized fluid.

For applying the pneumatic cylinder 99, the number and location of the switching means 101, in particular switching valves 101, and for their control via control means S83 (S86) of a control device, the above mentioned applicable or corresponding

The movement causing drive means 99, z. As the pneumatic cylinder 99, can basically directly on the output side of the holding means 299 comprehensive stop means 83 attack. Preferably, however, the drive of the stop means 83 via a gear, z. B. via a travel of the drive means 99 magnifying gear. In an advantageous embodiment, this transmission is designed as, in particular schnellschaltbares, coupling gear. For example, this is designed as a linear guide transmission based on an isosceles crank. The moving stop means 83 acts for this purpose in the direction of movement considered in at least one point with a guide 297, z. B. linear guide 297 together, so that the stop means 83 is at least at the level of this point linearly movable or is moved.

In principle, a point of the stop means 83 which is viewed in the direction of movement could additionally be guided linearly by the same or a further linear guide 297. On the stop means 83 engages over a perpendicular to the direction of movement defined by the linear guide 297 pivot axis 301, a gear member 292, z. B. a coupling 292 at. Distances from this pivot axis 301 engages a further, parallel to the first pivot axis 301 extending second pivot axis 298 another gear member 296, z. B. a crank 296, on the coupling 292. The crank 296 is mounted on a frame 303 about one of the first two pivot axes 301; 298 parallel pivot axis 304 pivotally mounted. In a preferred embodiment corresponds to the between the first two pivot axes 298; 301 effective length of the coupling 292 of the between the second and third pivot axis 298; 304 effective length of the crank 296th

For the rotary actuator of the crank 296 or the crank coupling system can in principle any suitable drive mechanism, such as a direct

Rotary drive of the crank 296 or engaging a drive means 99 at a point spaced from the pivot axis 304 point of the crank 296. In these cases, the above-mentioned guidance of the stop means 83 would be at two spaced apart in the direction of movement advantage.

In a preferred embodiment, multiple or significantly coupling in the direction of movement with the linear guide 297 can be dispensed with, in that the coupling 292, when moved by the crank 296, is defined in a coupling-fixed point spaced from the second pivot axis 298

Movement curve is forced. The coupling-resistant second attack point can

basically in the two first pivot axes 298; 301 connecting

Connection section are, however, is preferably in a

Connecting portion beyond the second pivot point 298 in a direction different to the direction of action of the connecting portion, in particular opposite direction continuing portion 307. This portion 307 may be part of a over the

Point of application of the second pivot axis 298 elongated coupling 292 or be designed as a rigidly connected to the coupling 292 lever arm and is independently hereinafter referred to as the coupling 292 extending portion 307.

Preferably, the coupling 292 is in this spaced coupling-fixed point via a guide 294, z. B. linear guide 294, to a rectilinear, in particular perpendicular to the direction of movement defined by the linear guide 297 and the first two Pivot axes 298; 301 running trajectory, forced. The coupling 292 or the continuation of this section is in this spaced coupling-fixed point via a likewise to the first and second pivot axis 301; 298 parallel further, z. B. fourth pivot axis 306 pivotally mounted.

As mentioned above, the drive center 99 could basically act directly on the crank 296, but here preferably acts on the coupling 292, in particular on the coupling 292 extending section 307. The attack takes place z. B. via a likewise to the first and second pivot axis 301; 298 parallel further, z. B. fifth pivot axis 308 between the second and the fourth pivot axis 298; 306th

Preferably, the attack of the drive takes place on the coupling 292 or the coupling 292 extending portion 307 at a distance from the second pivot axis 298, which is less than half the distance between the first and second pivot axis 301; 298 corresponds. Due to these length ratios, we enable a translation of a short Antriebsmittelhubes in a large adjusting movement.

The attacking on the stop means 86 transmission can - such. As shown in Fig. 14 and Fig. 15 - be designed and arranged such that the pivot axes 298; 301; 304; 306; 308 extend perpendicular to the transport direction T. However, it may alternatively be designed and arranged rotated by 90 °, so that the pivot axes 298; 301; 304; 306; 308 in the transport direction T run.

particular advantage, if the placement of the device concerned 103; 48; the first delivery station I; II is done so that the setting there is an oversize in the format compared to that setting at the first dispensing station I; II for the actual format effected. Although this may suffer from the stack quality, it reduces the risk of a disruption during storage.

In contrast, for predominantly transport-relevant, d. H. the movement of the sheets B concerning means 48; 49; 139; 51; 52, z. B. for setting the

Depositing speed v _ab at the braking device 48; 49 and / or the setting of the blowing intensity at the blowing device 51, 52 and / or the release location at the

Release device 139 and / or the placement of the blowing devices 1 13q- at least as far as the target result to be achieved - in a 1: 1-Bezierung stand. In this case, the connection 256 can directly map the 1: 1 relationship or an optionally

take into account the required correction due to different conditions in the design.

It is particularly advantageous to use this procedure, which comprises a modification, when the second or rear delivery stations II; I am involved Dispensing stations I; II only serves to store waste paper. In this case, for example, less high demands are placed on the stack quality and the location of the single sheet determining devices 48; 103 can be adjusted in a more generous way. One opposite to the actual and / or the second delivery station I; II set format larger format set for the first

Dispensing station I; II reduces the risk of stoppers, the bow falls with greater certainty without getting stuck on the stack 1 1.
