Abstract
A process for manufacturing printed products from a web of paper printed on according to a predetermined page sequence and subsequently cut crosswise, or crosswise and lengthwise to form individual sheets which can be optionally turned by 90.degree., relative to their position, on a continued conveying route. The individual sheets are supplied one after another in one or several rows and via a joint conveying segment to a location for further processing. An arrangement for implementing the process includes a cutting device that follows a printing machine and is connected for effectively conveying to a further processing arrangement. A downstream end of a conveying route between the cutting device and the further processing arrangement has a conveying segment into which two conveying routes discharge. The two conveying routes are separated by a diverter. One of the conveying routes is designed for deflecting and the other for turning over the individual sheets with a simultaneous change in the conveying direction.
