A sheet processing machine comprises a receiving area () for collecting a sheet pile and a device () for determining the height of the sheet pile. The device () comprises a manually displaceable first sensor element arranged at a first side () of the receiving area (), and an automatically displaceable second sensor element () arranged at an opposite side () of the receiving area () such that the first and second sensor elements () are arranged opposite each other along a width direction of the receiving area (). The first sensor element and the second sensor element () are displaceable along a length direction of the sheet receiving area (), wherein the first sensor element is one of a light emitting source and a light receiving sensor () and the second sensor element () is the other one of a light emitting source and a light receiving sensor (). The light emitting source and the light receiving sensor () form a light barrier () along the width direction when facing each other.
