<p>The present invention relates to a method for dividing print jobs in an output tray of a printing machine, preferably for an electrophotographically operating printing machine. When a print job is running, the sheets are initially output onto an inclined support of the tray, and the sheets subsequently slide against an abutment of the output tray. Upon completion of the print job and before running the next print job, a dividing sheet is placed on the stack of sheets located in the tray. Before the output of the dividing sheet, said dividing sheet is imparted with a hook-shaped deformation so that it is possible for the deformation of the dividing sheet to be propped up against the stack formed by the previous print job. Also, a device for the generation of dividing sheets used to divide print jobs for a printing machine is provided, said device being an integral part of a sheet path of the printing machine and comprising a punch-type deforming unit with a stamp for punching and deforming a partial area of a sheet.</p> |
