Abstract

The sheet setting up process is for a press in which the sheets are taken along a transporting path (1a) from one or more feed units (2) on a transporting belt (1b) running through a printing unit (4). The starting time point for feeding in a sheet from one or more feed units is selected on the basis of the type of material of which the sheet is made.
