Abstract

A method of operating a sheet-fed rotary printing machine includes mounting at least one rotating cylinder to be coupled to a drive or fixed relative to a framework, and moving an actuator to both uncouple the cylinder from the drive and fix the cylinder relative to the framework. A sheet-fed rotary printing machine includes a framework, a drive, at least one cylinder rotatably mounted to the framework, the cylinder is to be coupled to the drive or fixed relative to the framework, and a fixing and coupling configuration connected to the cylinder to both uncouple the cylinder from the drive and fix the cylinder relative to the framework.
