A method for conveying a sheet includes guiding an electrically charged
sheet pneumatically along a desired path, continuously detecting a charge
distribution on the sheet, and reducing a positional deviation of the
sheet from the desired path by actuating at least one actuating element
influencing the position in dependence on the charge distribution. An
apparatus for conveying a sheet includes a control device for the
position of the sheet and a sensor connected to the control device for
detecting an electric field present on the sheet. The method and
apparatus permit the sheet to be guided with small deviations from the
desired path.
