In order to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, the present invention will be briefly described below by using embodiments, and it is obvious that the following descriptions are only embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious for those skilled in the art to obtain other technical solutions according to these embodiments without any creative effort, and also fall within the disclosure of the present invention.
The label printer of the embodiment of the invention is used for printing and outputting non-standardized commodity information needing weighing in supermarkets or retail stores, and comprises label paper, a printing part, an information input part, a storage part, a printing information determining part, a timing storage part, a timer, a label information modifying part, a metering part and a scanning part.
The label paper can be self-adhesive label paper, and comprises a base paper, an adhesive layer and a surface layer capable of being printed. The printed label paper can be adhered to the surface of the commodity or the package. The printing section is used for printing label information on the label paper, and may use a printing method that is already known in the art, such as letterpress printing, gravure printing, offset printing, or flexo printing.
The information input unit is used for inputting label information of different products, wherein the label information of the products comprises product names, unit prices and shop names, the label information can also comprise other information, for example, for food processed on site, the label information can also comprise processing days and consumption time limits. The information input portion may be a button or a keyboard provided to the housing of the label printer. The storage unit may store the tag information of the different products input by the information input unit, and the storage unit may store the tag information of the different products in a form of a relationship data table, and the unique feature code may be provided in the relationship data table for each product. The timing storage unit stores a specific time period of a specific commodity, which is a commodity having a unit price that changes at a specific time, for example, a commodity discounted at a specific time, and a corresponding commodity unit price, and the specific time may be a single specific time period, for example, 24 days on 12 months in 2019 to 25 days on 12 months in 2019, or may be a periodic specific time period, for example, 8 to 12 am every wednesday. The information of the timing storage unit may be input through the information input unit.
