Abstract
The invention relates to a method for operating a labelling system for labelling individual packages, wherein the labelling system comprises a labelling device () having functional units and a control assembly () which, in a labelling routine, controls the functional units in accordance with a control specification. According to the invention, a user query routine is performed by the control assembly (), in which user query routine a user is prompted by the user interface () to input a state relating to a functional aspect of the labelling system and the state subsequently input by the user is detected by the control assembly (), and the input state is compared with a predefined state by the control assembly () and if the input state deviates from the predefined state a response routine is triggered by the control assembly (), in which response routine a message regarding the input state is transmitted, by the control assembly (), to a control system () which is external to the labelling system and superordinate to the control assembly (), and in which response routine the control specification is modified on the basis of the input state.
