In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a gripper is mounted on the cylindrical drum for gripping a sheet; and a target is mounted on the cylindrical drum and mechanically linked to the gripper such that a position of the target corresponds to displacement of the gripper by a gripped sheet. The target is arranged and configured for detection of the target position a predetermined time or at a downstream location after the gripper grips a sheet.
