Abstract (en)

[origin: US2002017755A1] The invention relates to a method for the alignment of sheet-like material (1). Its alignment occurs via rotation elements (25), wherein the sheet-like material (1) is rotated around its central axis in order to print on the front and backsides. During the rotation of the sheet-like material (1) around its central axis, the material's leading edge (23) remains in its aligned position. Into the conveyor surface (9) is incorporated a sensor pair (30), preferably in the form of CCD line sensors, with which the sheet-like material (1) is aligned on the same lateral edge (24) following the rotation, as is the case during the alignment procedure of the sheet-like material (1) before it is rotated around its center axis.
