The method involves generating a query by a computer (56) before the completion of a print job or after the job completion, where the query requests the inputs that are required in the same print job. The computer with a storage unit is provided in a sheet-fed printing press (1), where different print jobs, associated default settings or working steps are stored in the storage unit for the alignment of the printing press. The computer requests the settings on the machine or introduces working processes and suggests the necessary processes for the next cycle of the already printed sheet.
