Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of operating a printer in a POS system.
  • All of these examples are a (total) system solution for controlling the printed output. It is not a pure printer solution or function that enables intervention after the print command has been triggered by the cash register system and that triggers the issue by releasing the customer. If the printout is requested by the customer, the print command is first generated in the POS systems described above and the data is sent to the receipt printer.
  • EP 1 006 499 discloses a method according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Object of the present invention is to provide a receipt printer for a POS system and a method in which a document is printed only on customer request out, the customer can trigger the printing process itself.
  • the invention provides that the document data is buffered in a memory of the printer, without triggering the actual expression.
  • the cash register system thus always sends the complete document data and additional control data.
  • the expression can be triggered by actuating an actuating means, for example in the form of a switch located on the printer or a module arranged outside the printer housing.
  • the printout can optionally be triggered via a control command (software). Control commands that are necessary for the correct functioning of the printer are handled and answered independently of the print output data.
  • the stored document data is automatically deleted and / or replaced by the document data of the next customer.
  • the receipt or receipt printer at the checkout is no longer only the cashiers but primarily the customer made available.
  • the present invention can autonomously decide whether to print out a receipt or to dispense with it.
  • the invention makes the printer to a device that automatically takes over the caching of the necessary print data and offers them to the customer for printing and deletes in due course to receive for the next customer, the associated data again from the POS system and in turn to offer this.
  • the interface created for the customer consists of a display and a button.
  • the ad informs the customer that data is available to him.
  • the button allows him to initiate the expression.
  • the receipt printer of the conventional type is a device that requires special operators (cashiers)
  • the present invention is a combined hardware and software solution and thus a true self-service device, which the customer operates independently and gives him the choice to print or slip a receipt without.
  • the bond data be sent to the printer and held there in memory.
  • the printer must detect the beginning and end of this data accordingly. This recognition can be done through key points such as a boning control cut command or the "open cash drawer” command. These commands clearly indicate the end of the receipt and are sent to the printer via the interface.
  • a "fixed storage time” is granted. Only after its expiration the receipt is released for the expression by the customer. This storage time is controlled by the firmware.
  • Bonagging and Bonende can on the other hand also be sent by a dedicated command from the POS application (for example, an ESC / POS command "Bonende"). Then it is a "variable storage time”.
  • a dedicated command from the POS application for example, an ESC / POS command "Bonende"
  • the data is buffered in both cases in the printer buffer (internal memory).
  • the printout becomes visible to the customer through the display on the printer.
  • the printer After storing the obtained data, the printer is notified of print readiness by an optical display (e.g., LED or LCD display) to the customer.
  • an optical display e.g., LED or LCD display
  • This display can be installed directly on the printer or connected externally to the printer.
  • the data can also be released by means of an ESC / POS command.
  • the receipt printout can also be "remotely operated" by the cashier.
  • vouchers or receipts that must be printed in any case, this can be done via appropriate control commands. This can e.g. be required for lottery tickets, pawn certificates, warranty certificates. In this case, the free choice of the customer, whether he prints a receipt, not desired. The present invention then ensures that a receipt is also created.
  • the display goes out after pressing the button, the data is printed out and the memory is emptied.
  • the data will be kept until the next print command.
  • the next print data for the next customer overwrites them.
  • the visual display goes out after a specified period of time.
  • FIG. 1 A POS system with printer is in FIG. 1 shown.
  • the cash register system has a cash register 4 with money compartment 5, display 8 and keyboard 6. Via a data cable 8, the cash register 4 with the printer 1 in conjunction.
  • This has a document tray 3 and the input means 2 in the form of a button.
  • the button 2 can have a lighting, with the customer can be displayed that the document is ready to print. Z'.B. the button should be backlit in green. With a red illumination of the button, however, the customer is informed that a print-out is currently not possible.
  • the main advantages of the present invention are cost savings and environmental protection.
  • the cost savings result from a reduced paper consumption, since not every customer requires a receipt. It is essentially printed only if the receipt is also required. This results in a longer usability of the printer due to lower pressure and thus less wear. Replacement investments are needed about 30% later. Also results in a lower power consumption through reduced use of the printer and a lower waste and reduced cleaning costs due to contamination by discarded Bons. Also, in conventional receipt printers, no major changes or only minor modification the software be performed to convert them into a printer according to the invention. Furthermore, the present invention contributes to the environmental protection because of lower paper and power consumption. Also, the printers can be used longer due to the lower print volume.

  1. Procédé pour faire fonctionner une imprimante destinée à un système de caisse, système
    dans lequel l'imprimante présente une interface pour l'ensemble informatique de traitement de données, qui commande le système de caisse, interface par l'intermédiaire de laquelle des ordres de commande et des données d'impression sont transmises à l'imprimante, dans lequel l'imprimante comprend une mémoire où peuvent être mémorisées les données de justificatif de paiement, l'imprimante présentant un ensemble informatique de traitement de données ainsi qu'au moins un moyen de saisie pour l'actionnement manuel par une personne,
    et dans lequel le moyen de saisie peut être un commutateur se trouvant sur l'imprimante, ou peut être agencé dans un module situé en-dehors du boitier de l'imprimante,
    caractérisé en ce que c'est seulement l'actionnement manuel du moyen de saisie, qui déclenche la phase d'impression des données de justificatif de paiement mémorisées en totalité dans la mémoire de l'imprimante, et en ce que l'ensemble informatique de traitement de données de l'imprimante, soit efface les données de justificatif de paiement après que leur impression ait été effectuée ou après un temps pouvant être prédéfini, dans la mesure où le moyen de saisie n'a pas été actionné pendant ce temps considéré, soit remplace ou écrase les données de justificatif de paiement mémorisées dans la mémoire, par de nouvelles données de justificatif de paiement, dès que celles-ci sont transmises par le système de caisse.
