In some examples, a printing press includes a non-impact printing device, and further includes a plurality of processing stations that each process sheets. In the printing press, at least one lifting nozzle is arranged in a profile element of a guide device. The lifting nozzle is configured to open in a direction of a tip of a tapered profile element. A suction belt feed table includes a catching device having a catching position, which is assumed as a result of an actuation, for adjacent individual sheets that follow one another. The catching device, in its catching position, catches sheets on the suction belt feed table that are fed from a first transport device, which is arranged upstream from the suction belt feed table, to the suction belt feed table, before the sheets are transferred to a transport device arranged downstream from the suction belt feed table and stacked there.

A device is provided for feeding sheets to a sheet-processing machine having at least one processing mechanism. A feeder head is provided for cyclically separating the sheets from a pile of such sheets and has transporting suckers for transporting the sheets to a belt table. The belt table has at least one revolving transport belt which is guided over at least two feed rollers. A first drive is assigned to at least one feed roller and a sheet flap, which is connected to a pivotally mounted shaft, is provided between the transporting suckers and the at least one transport belt. A second drive is assigned to the shaft, for pivoting that shaft. A sheet arrival sensor, which is arranged between the belt table and the processing mechanism, generates first signals representing the arrival of the sheets for a sequence of sheets. A clock generator generates second signals representing the angular position of the at least one processing mechanism, and has a controller, which controls the first drive as a function of the second signals and which controls the second drive as a function of the first and second signals.
