As described above, the minimum necessary common items as a taxi ticket are printed as fixed information, and the necessary items are printed as variable information for each combination of a taxi company and a user company. The standardized print format enables large-volume printing, and by printing variable information with a printer, it is possible to flexibly cope with the number of issued taxis according to the size of taxi companies and taxi users. . In addition, since the data is standardized, the work of reading the charges with the OCR and totaling the charges can be easily performed without requiring any manpower. By outsourcing such processing to a specialized company or the like, a taxi company, It is possible for both companies to greatly reduce the administrative burden that was conventionally required.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a taxi ticket issued by a taxi user. The layout and fixed information of the taxi ticket are the same as those in FIG. 1, and only the contents of the variable information to be printed are partially different.

In the taxi tickets shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a two-dimensional bar code is used to print a company name, a serial number, and the like.
Expressions on the order of characters are possible. Therefore, the in-vehicle device reader that can read the two-dimensional barcode is installed, and the unauthorized use is checked by the in-vehicle device reader by printing the expiration date, kanji data such as the company name, and special characters and symbols on the two-dimensional barcode. be able to. In addition, if the booklet of a taxi ticket is stolen, store the management number of the stolen taxi ticket in the in-vehicle device reader, and if it is illegally used, immediately detect it by collation. By transmitting the unauthorized ticket number to the management center and registering it, it is possible to help prevent unauthorized use.

Then, by using the high-density printer 33, special characters are printed on the cover, and two-dimensional barcode printing is performed. The cover 30, the ticket body 31, and the back cover 32 created in this way are processed by a variable binding machine 34 into 10 sheets.
The variable binding (marble binding) is performed in units of 10 sheets up to 100 sheets, and the ticket booklet 35 is completed.

The characters and charges entered in the CR column are converted into image data, and the handwritten OCR portion is subjected to post-processing character recognition and converted into data. Image data is an ID for processing in automatic sequence
A number is assigned and associated with OCR character recognition data (for example, use date and time, amount of money). For a ticket or the like for which the OCR cannot be recognized, an operator performs punch input in the data processing control device 52 to correct data.
The corrected data is sent to the billing statement issuing device, and the code data such as date and amount is output by a high-speed printer.
Since the code data is associated with the image data, as shown in FIG. 7, the image of the original ticket, the date and time of use, and the amount of money can be associated and printed as a billing statement. By printing the department code or the like on the ticket in advance, it is possible to output data sorted for each department.
