From a list of duties on a work reference for an Industriekaufmann in the year 2000.

Is this just a sales register? I can't verify it via a google search. I also looked for "Vertriebsrolle"

Sales - web-fed
Explanation:
I think that "Rolle" and "Format" are being used here to distinguish between web-fed printing (or presses) in which paper is fed from a web or roll and sheet-fed printing (or presses) in which paper is fed in the form of single sheets cut to size.

See, e.g.
SHEET-FED PRINTING
Sheet-fed printing is the process where precut sheets of paper are fed through the printing press rather than paper being fed off rolls (or webs).
WEB-FED OFFSET
Web-fed printing is the process where paper runs through the printing press from a roll and then is trimmed into sheets.

roll sales/distribution


Explanation:
As opposed to (presumably) format, as in A4/A5 etc. Vertrieb can translate as either sales or distribution, depending on exactly what it involves.

Explanation:
From the brief description the references seem to be for jobs.
I don't know why they didn't write
Vertriebsrolle, but my reply is still the same.
