  • Patent number: 10150644
    Abstract: A delivery system is used for delivering printed sheets which can be fed in a region of an inlet side of a delivery device. The delivery device includes at least one first discharge station and one second discharge station which is mounted downstream of the first discharge station, which is upstream in the transport path. The delivery stations are associated respectively with a format or transport-relevant device which can be controlled by a drive including a control element for adapting or correcting the guiding and delivery of the sheets in the relevant discharge station. At a delivery device level upstream of a lateral inlet in a stacking space of the upstream second discharge station, at least one operator interface, with at least one actuating device is provided.

  • Patent number: 10144608
    Abstract: During the operation of a delivery device, having a first and a second stack delivery, in a transport direction, in which a first braking device is provided in the transport path of sheets which are conveyed by a conveyor system along a transport path in the entry region of the first stack delivery, and in which a second braking device is provided in the input area of the second stack delivery, the sheets to be printed, which come into the first braking device come in a form- or friction-locking operative contact with an active surface of a holding means comprised by the braking device. The active surface coming into this operative contact with the sheet to be printed is moved forcibly by a drive in the transport direction. In a first operating mode, during a form- or friction-fit interaction between the sheet and the active surface, a speed for the movement of the active surface is reduced from a first speed to a comparatively lower stacking speed.
