Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides a batch printing function, specifically, when a transaction for one customer is completed, the data printed on receipt paper during the transaction is batch printed on slip paper. The present invention relates to an electronic register having a printing function.

[Summary of the invention]

The present invention is an electronic register having a batch printing function, which stores inputted data in the order of input operations, and uses this data to not only perform batch printing when issuing a batch printing command, but also to perform correction processing when issuing a transaction correction command. This is intended to improve data utilization efficiency in electronic registers that have a batch printing function.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, some electronic registers have a batch printing function (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 40968/1983). This batch printing function is also called the authentication printing function, and is specified immediately after issuing a receipt at the end of a transaction for one customer. This is a function to print on paper. Conventionally, in order to realize the batch printing function, a memory dedicated to batch printing was required to sequentially store print data printed on receipt paper during a transaction.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

By the way, the above-mentioned batch printing function is not necessary for all customers, but only for some customers who require printing on slip paper. Nevertheless, storing data that is used only during the operation of the batch printing function in a dedicated memory poses a problem in terms of data usage efficiency.

The problem of the present invention is that it is possible to print data without having to provide a dedicated memory for storing only data for batch printing in an electronic register.
The purpose is to enable batch printing.

[Means for solving problems]

The means of the present invention will be explained using the functional block diagram shown in FIG. In this figure, A is a data input means for inputting sales data and classification designation data;
B is a classification storage means for storing cumulative sales data by classification; C is an accumulating means for accumulating the sales data inputted at the time of inputting the classification designation data into the classification storage means B; D is a data input means A after the start of a transaction. E is an operation data storage means for storing input data such as sales data and classification designation data inputted in the order of input operations; E is a command input means for inputting a command for batch printing of sales data in one transaction or a transaction correction command for a transaction; G is a readout means for reading data stored in the operation data storage means D according to the input operation procedure upon input of a batch printing command or transaction correction command; Print data creation means that creates print data based on the data read by means F; H is a printing means that prints the print data created by print data creation means G; I is a command input by command input means E; When a transaction correction command is issued, the correction means performs a correction subtraction process on the cumulative sales data in the classified storage means B based on the data read out by the reading means F.

[Effect]

The operation of the means of the invention is as follows. Input method A for sales data and classification designation data after transaction start
When the sales data is inputted sequentially, the cumulative totaling means C operates when the classification data is specified, and the input sales data is cumulatively processed in the classification storage means B. In parallel with this, the sales data and classification designation data after the start of the transaction are stored in the operation data storage means D in the order of input operations. In this way, after a series of transactions has been completed and a receipt has been issued, if the cashier wishes to print transaction data on the slip paper, the cashier sets the slip paper in a predetermined position on the printing means H. Then, the command input means E inputs a batch printing command. Then, the reading means F operates, and all the operation data stored in the operation data storage means D after the start of the transaction is sequentially read out in the order of input operations. Subsequently, print data identical to the data printed on the receipt is created by print data creation means G, and this print data is printed by printing means H onto the slip paper. On the other hand, if the cashier wishes to cancel the current transaction during or after a series of transactions, the cashier inputs a transaction correction command using the command input means E. Then, in the same way as when inputting the above-mentioned batch printing command, all the operation data after the start of the transaction stored in the operation data storage means D is read out by the reading means F in the order of the input operations, and based on this data, the classification storage means B The correction means I performs a correction subtraction process on the cumulative sales data within. As a result,
The cumulative sales data in the classified storage means B is corrected to the state before the start of the transaction.

Therefore, batch printing is possible in the electronic register without providing a dedicated memory for storing only data for batch printing.

Subsequently, the key code of the storage area STACK (9) is read out, steps S ₂₀ and S ₂₄ are executed, and the total sales data is printed on the paper, completing the batch printing for one customer.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As is clear from the above description, according to the present invention,
Since we have made it possible to perform not only batch printing but also transaction correction using the operation data storage means that stores the operation data after the start of a transaction, there is no need to provide a dedicated memory in the electronic register to store only the data for batch printing. Not at all. That is, in the present invention, the above operation data is used as data for creating print data for batch printing when a batch printing command is issued, and is used as data for correction subtraction processing when a transaction is corrected. , the above operation data can be shared for two types of purposes. Therefore, it has the advantage that data utilization efficiency can be increased and memory can be made smaller. Furthermore, according to the present invention, the print data for batch printing is created based on the operation data during the input operation such as sales data and classification specification data, so that the print data can be printed on the receipt paper during the transaction (during the input operation). It has the advantage of being able to easily and faithfully reproduce and output print data that is exactly the same as the printed data.
