Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device and a method for depositing sheet-shaped substrates (6), in particular printing materials, in a printing machine so as to form a stack. The device comprises a tray (10) for receiving the substrates, said tray having a tray surface (8) that is tilted about a first axis and about a second axis, relative to a horizontal. Also provided are a lifting device for lifting and lowering the tray, as well as a first abutment (25) having a first abutment surface and a second abutment (26) having a second abutment surface, with the first and the second abutment surfaces being arranged so as to be perpendicular to each other, and with substrates deposited on the tray coming to abut against the first and the second abutment surfaces due to the tilting of the tray surface.
