Abstract

A sheet-fed rotary printing press having at least one unit including an impression cylinder and an additional cylinder assigned to the impression cylinder, the impression cylinder and the additional cylinder being relatively adjustable a spaced distance from one another, includes a sheet guiding device disposed on the additional cylinder for keeping sheets of printing material, which have been transported by the impression cylinder past the additional cylinder, away from the additional cylinder, once the spaced distance between the impression cylinder and the additional cylinder has been set.
