An apparatus for supplying sheets to a printing machine having a sliding work plane moving in outward and return runs, so as to subject one or more sheets thereon to printing, a station, in which the work plane pauses, being provided with a gripper for transferring the sheets from the apparatus to the work plane, with the work plane paused in the station. The apparatus includes a gantry bearing a loading plane positioned by a side of the pause station and made vertically mobile from a first variable-height operating position, and a second fixed operating position flanking the pause station. A receiving station of a stack of sheets is positioned by a side of the gantry opposite the work plane, the height of the head sheet of the stack defining a first operating position. A gripper, borne by the work plane, with the work plane in the operating position grips the head sheet of the stack and transfer it onto the work plane. |
