Abstract: The invention relates to a device for depositing sheets for a printing machine, preferably for an electrophotographically operating printing machine, said device comprising at least one sheet transport member which can be driven so as to rotate and which is provided for the detection of a lead edge of a sheet and for depositing the sheet after it has covered a rotating path.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for depositing sheets for a printing machine, preferably for an electrophotographically operating printing machine, said device comprising at least one sheet transport member which can be driven so as to rotate and which is provided for the detection of a lead edge of a sheet and for depositing the sheet after it has covered a rotating path. Therefore, the object of the invention is to make depositing a sheet and turning over a sheet, in particular also larger and/or thinner sheets, more reliable with the use of a device of the aforementioned type. In accordance with the invention, this object is achieved by a device which is characterized by a blower arrangement for the application of air to the sheet to be deposited. Due to the application of air, the sheet to be deposited and to be turned over is advantageously supported by an additional momentum and by its inherent stiffness, so that the sheet will unroll fully after its lead edge has been caught by the rotation.
