A control system for a printing apparatus for printing in particular flat substrates, with a rack, on which a receptacle for a printing template, in particular printing screen or printing stencil, is arranged, with a camera device, which is assigned to the receptacle, and with a user interface for inputting and/or obtaining information. What is provided is an evaluation device, which is connected to the camera device, in order to receive at least one image of the printing template detected by the camera device, wherein the evaluation device is formed to classify the printing template as being reusable or as being non-reusable as a function of the received image.
