BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a stamped data printing apparatus for printing data based on input data in addition to stamp printing.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, electronic cash registers (EC
In R), a receipt is issued at the end of registration of one transaction, but this receipt is first stamped with the store name, etc., followed by the date and receipt.
No, registration details are printed. Therefore, the ECR printing unit is usually provided with a stamp mechanism for printing a store name and the like, in addition to a printer having a printing drum and the like.

[0003]

At restaurants and the like, customers are sometimes required to issue receipts. In such a case, in the past, the receipt was created by handwriting, so the cashier has to do so. There is a drawback that a heavy burden is imposed and the registration operation for the next customer is delayed accordingly. An object of the present invention is to prepare at least two types of stamp printing surfaces and use them at the time of selection to easily issue different types of slips such as specifications and receipts.

[0004]

The means of the present invention are as follows. Printing means 1 (see the functional block diagram of FIG. 1,
The same applies hereinafter) is a printer equipped with a printing drum or the like that prints data based on input data. The stamp printing means 2 comprises at least a first stamp printing surface and a second stamp printing surface. For example, the stamp printing means 2 has a first stamp printing surface and a first stamp printing surface. A means for switching between the stamp printing surface and the second stamp printing surface at the time of selection is included. The first control means 3 causes the stamp printing to be performed using the first stamp printing surface and also causes the data printing to be performed based on the input data. For example, the first control means 3 uses a predetermined stamp. A detailed statement is printed by printing detailed data together with printing. The designating means 4 is a key input device for designating specific printing (for example, receipt printing). The second control means 5 causes the second stamp printing surface to perform the stamp printing and the data printing based on the input data when the specific printing is designated by the designating means. For example, the second control means 5 issues a receipt formed by printing specific data (for example, total amount of money) together with printing of a predetermined stamp.

[0005]

The operation of the means of the present invention is as follows. Now, in the ECR, a receipt is normally issued, and a receipt is issued if necessary. Normally, the first control unit 3 causes the stamp printing to be performed using the first stamp surface formed with the store name and the like, and also prints the registration content for each item based on the input sales data. , Print the total amount and issue a receipt. Here, when the receipt printing is designated by the designating means 4, the second
The control means 5 causes the stamp to be printed using the second stamp surface formed with the title name of the receipt, and prints the total amount of money for one transaction based on the input sales data. Let me issue a receipt. Therefore, it is possible to easily issue different types of slips such as specifications and receipts by preparing at least two types of stamp printing surfaces and using them at the time of selection.

A process of registering in the totalizer for each department in the AM 19 and sending the registered contents to the type printer 15 to print out the roll paper 24 is performed. Such a registration process is executed each time a product-specific registration operation is performed.

When the registration of one transaction is completed and the closing key such as a cash key is operated, the process proceeds to step A3, and the total amount for one transaction is printed out on the roll paper 24. Next, save the total amount together with the receipt number in the save memory 19-
Set to 1 (step A4). After that, a receipt is issued. At this time, the store name stamp mechanism 17 is driven, the store name stamp printing for the next customer is performed, and then the roll paper 24 is sent to the cut position by the paper feed roller 23, and Cut in position. As a result of such processing being performed for each transaction, receipt amounts for a plurality of transactions and the total amount thereof are set in the save memory 19-1.

When the customer requests receipt issuance, the receipt key AK is operated. Then, step A6
It is detected in step A7
Check the presence or absence of the number entered for No. In this case, if a receipt is requested for today's transaction, the receipt number is not entered, but if the customer brings a receipt for a past transaction and a receipt for that transaction is requested,
Enter the receipt number printed on the receipt.
If the receipt number is not entered here, the save memory 19
The total amount immediately before -1 is read together with the receipt number (step A8), but if the receipt number is entered, the designated receipt number and the total amount are read from the save memory 19-1 (step A9).

Next, in step A10, the pasting area size (x) of the revenue stamp to be pasted on the receipt is obtained according to the total amount read from the save memory 19-1. In this case, the pasting area size differs depending on the type and number of revenue stamps, but in the present embodiment, the size is approximately calculated. Then, the process proceeds to step A11, where the receipt issuance process is performed.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing this receipt issuing process, and FIG. 7 shows a concrete example of the receipt. First,
Feed roll paper 24 for n lines (step B
1). In this case, the n line is a value in consideration of the print size of the receipt, and n lines are used to stamp the receipt stamp print by leaving one line in the store name stamp area where the store name stamp print is already performed. Line feed is performed. Here, in FIG. 3, (A) shows a portion where the store name stamp is already printed due to the previous receipt issuance or the like, and (B) shows an area where the receipt stamp printing is performed.

After feeding n lines in this manner, the following data is printed line by line in the type printer 15 (see FIG. 7). That is, first, date printing (step B2), receipt number (step B3), "upper" printing (step B4), broken line printing for separation (step B)
5), total amount printing (step B6), “But” printing (step B7), and finally broken line printing for separation (step B)
8) is performed.

Next, the roll paper 24 is fed for x lines according to the sticking size x of the revenue stamp obtained as described above (step B9), and the sticking region of the revenue stamp is secured.
Next, the roll paper 24 is cut and a receipt is issued. At this time, the store name stamp mechanism 17 is driven to stamp the store name stamp for the next customer on the roll paper 24 (steps B10 and B11).

As described above, the receipt stamp mechanism 18 is provided in addition to the store name stamp mechanism 17, and the store name stamp mechanism 17 is driven to print the store name stamp when a normal receipt is issued, and the store name stamp mechanism is issued when the receipt is issued. 17 and the receipt stamp mechanism 18 are driven to print the receipt stamp together with the store name stamp.
