Abstract
Included are: a fan wheel for holding and rotationally transporting signatures delivered from a printing press; a pair of side guides for restricting the signatures in the width direction which are held in the fan wheel; a side-guide rodless air cylinder for moving a side guide between side-guide guide positions for guiding the signatures and side-guide retraction positions for retraction to the outside of the fan wheel in the radial direction thereof; a side-guide drive motor for moving the side guide in the width direction of the signatures; and a controller which controls the side-guide rodless air cylinder and the side-guide drive motor so that the side guide moves in accordance with the lengths in the width direction of the signatures.
