Abstract: The invention pertains to a delivery unit on a sheet-fed processing machine, preferably a sheet-fed printing or sheet-fed varnishing machine. The aim of the invention is to provide a delivery unit of this type such that permits in-line transport of printed and/or varnished sheets to at least one additional production line. To this end, the delivery unit 1 includes an endless revolving sheet conveyor system 5 that conveys the sheets to a first delivery stack 9 and a sheet withdrawal drum 7 that functions as a diverter for transferring sheets to a second stacking system. The sheet withdrawal drum is arranged upstream of this delivery stack relative to the conveying direction. A sheet transport system 20 is arranged downstream of the drum 7 and a folding module 12 is arranged downstream of the sheet transport system in the rotational direction 10 of the drum.
