Abstract
A printing unit configuration includes an accessory and a connection mechanism moveably fastening the accessory thereto, throwing the accessory thereon into a working position, and removing it therefrom into maintenance positions. A linear guide can be connected to the accessory and disposed perpendicular to a pivot axis, with the mechanism pivoting the accessory away from the unit about the axis and displacing it along the guide. The mechanism can have two pivot axes disposed parallel to the unit rotation axis and can pivot the accessory away from the unit first about the first axis then about the second. The mechanism can pivot the accessory about an axis perpendicular to the unit rotation axis and/or about a single pivot axis disposed below the accessory. The mechanism can connect the accessory to the unit to project into a recess of a side wall of the printing machine at a side opposite an operator side in a maintenance position.
