The drive for a sheet printing machine consists of a turning device and a sheet guide system. The support point (C0) of the drive for the sheet guide system (2) and/or the turning device (1) differs from the support point (D0) of the sheet guide system or the support point (A0) of the turning device. There may be a non-uniform ratio transmission (14) between the support point of the drive for the turning device and the sheet guide system after the turning device. The drive member (13) of this transmission may be engaged with the turning device drive, and the driven member (12) with the sheet guide system.
