• 02;
• 03;
• 04;
• 06;
• 07;
• 08;
• 09;
• 11;
• 12) are arranged in succession in the transport direction (T) of the sheets for the inline processing of these sheets, wherein at least one of these processing stations (06) is embodied as a non-impact printing unit (06), wherein a transfer unit, located upstream of the operating area of the non-impact printing unit (06), is provided for transferring the sheets from a first processing station (01;
• 02;
• 03;
• 04;
• 06;
• 07;
• 08;
• 09;
• 11;
• 12) located upstream of the non-impact printing unit (06) to the non-impact printing unit (06), wherein the transfer unit aligns each of the sheets true to register in terms of its axial register relative to the printing position of the non-impact printing unit (06), characterized in that, in addition to the axial register, the transfer unit aligns each of the sheets true to register in terms of its circumferential register and/or in terms of its diagonal register relative to the printing position of the non-impact printing unit (06), wherein a first processing station (01) located upstream of the non-impact printing unit (06) in the transport direction (T) of the sheets is embodied as a sheet feeder (01) or as a magazine feeder (01), wherein a processing station (02;
• 03;
• 08) located between the first processing station (01) and the non-impact printing unit (06) is embodied as a first coating unit (02;
• 03;
• 08), wherein the coating unit (02;
• 03;
• 08) is embodied as a primer application unit (02) or as a cold foil application unit (03) or as a varnishing unit (08).
