The second cylinder forms a printing point with a third cylinder that is not positively connected in a driven manner to the printing group. The form cylinder can be driven by a drive motor. The second cylinder can be driven by a drive connection from the form cylinder. The inking unit allocated to the form cylinder can also be driven by the second cylinder, using the same drive motor.
