A device for smoothly applying a sheet for printing onto an impression cylinder upstream of a printing gap of a sheet-fed rotary offset printing machine in travel direction of the sheet through the printing machine and including a jet nozzle device having at least one jet nozzle capable of being directed towards the circumference of the impression cylinder for pressing the sheet by blowing air force against the circumference, further includes a drive device couplable with the jet nozzle device for swingingly reciprocating the jet nozzle device in travel direction of the sheet during an operating cycle of the printing machine, the jet nozzle device being mounted at a spaced distance upstream from a printing gap and being swingable in a pendular manner about a pendulum axis extending parallel to an axis of the impression cylinder, the jet nozszle device being elongated and being formed with a middle region and ends offset upstream from the middle region in the travel direction of the sheet so that the sheet is smoothed, beginning with the middle thereof, from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the sheet and simultaneously from the middle to the lateral sides of the sheet.
