Flexible clocking in digital printing

The invention relates to a method for operating a device (1) for producing printed material comprising an unwinding unit (2) for providing paper to be printed, wherein the roller unit (2), a printing unit is arranged downstream of the printed paper, wherein the printing unit a transverse cutter (4) is arranged downstream of cutting the endless supplied to it printed paper transverse to the feed direction so that individual printed sheets are provided, wherein the transverse cutter (4), a collecting unit (5) is arranged downstream for collecting the supplied thereto arcs, wherein the collecting unit (5) comprises a feeder unit (6) can be arranged downstream, wherein the feeder unit (6) a further unit is at least downstream to complete the produced printed matter, said units before and / or behind the transverse cutter (4) and / or the transverse cutter ( 4) pre-layer flexible depending on the processing speed of at least one of (the cross cutter 4) lteten unit is operated.
