Abstract
A method for controlling the sheet feed in an offset printing machine. A controller, in conjunction with various sensing devices, is utilized to determine the presence of double or misfed sheets as the sheets are removed from a sheet stack in a feeder unit of the printing machine. The controller then, through various actuating devices, shuts down various printing machine functions in order to complete the printing of the sheets ahead of the double or misfed sheets.
