An ink dosing device of a printing group, that includes a printing group cylinder which is configured as a plate cylinder, includes an inking unit. The ink dosing device has a number of physical zones which are arranged next to each other in a longitudinal direction. These physical zones can be individually adjusted by the use of dosing elements in order to individually adjust, section by section, the amount of ink that is applied. A control station is provided with a number of operator elements which are assigned to virtual zones of a printed page. These operator elements are usable to trigger the dosing elements. The segmentation of the virtual zones of the ink dosing device, in relation to the width of a printed page, differs in number and/or position of the zones of the ink dosing device across the width of the printed page from the segmentation of the zones in the control station in relation to the width of the printed page with respect to the number and/or position of the zones in the control station across the width of a printed page. At least two dosing elements are allocated using computing technology to at least one of the operator elements with respect to the relevance of the latter for the adjustment process following the selection of the operator element.
