Examples include a machine for handling sheets including an inspection device for inspecting sheets and at least one sheet transport means, which defines a section of a transport path that is provided for the sheets, and which includes an inspection region. In an inspection position, a sensor device of the inspection device is arranged so as to be aligned with the inspection region. At least one guide device of the at least one sensor device is provided, which defines a sensor adjustment path that is provided for movement of the sensor device and that extends from the inspection position at least to a first backed-away position configured as a maintenance position. The sensor adjustment path extends orthogonal with respect to a transverse direction, and at least between the inspection position and the first backed-away position.
