A method of feeding sheets to a printing-technology machine includes individually
separating sheets from a sheet pile, conveying the sheets against movable lays
for effecting an alignment thereof, and cyclically conveying the sheets from the
lays to the machine. A control device coordinates movement of the lays with the
individual separation of the sheets from the sheet pile and onward conveyance of
the sheets to the machine. Data related to characteristics of the sheets are processed
in the control device for generating actuating signals for a separate, controllable
drive system. The lays are moved by the drive system. A device for performing the
method is also provided.
