Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a receipt issuing device and a sales management device, and in particular, a receipt issuing configured to issue a rewritable receipt and overwrite the signature of a customer who purchased the product and to copy it on a plurality of receipts. The present invention relates to a device and a sales management device.

  Conventionally, when a plurality of copy forms are issued due to the sale of products, etc., printing is performed using a impact printer such as a wire dot printer on a copy slip consisting of a plurality of forms subjected to carbonless processing or back carbon processing. It was done. Also, when printing with a thermal printer to print forms such as slips using thermal paper, the paper base itself is not a slip that develops color due to pressure, so the same number of slips are printed and used. . When a confirmation signature or the like is required for a slip using thermal paper, it can only be used by inserting carbon paper or processing the carbon in a predetermined place to be copied in advance.

  In recent years, printing by a printer such as a handy terminal or a POS terminal device is a thermal printer that performs printing on a thermal roll paper from a conventional impact printer because of advantages such as downsizing, labor saving, economy, and printing performance of the printing device. Has moved to.

  For example, when printing a receipt by a thermal printer in a POS terminal device, a plurality of receipts are printed continuously in one transaction, and a customer signature column is provided on one of them. As a result, of the plurality of receipts, the signature is made only on one sheet having the signature column, and the other receipts are not signed.

  Further, when printing slips or receipts with different printing styles, the receipt of the desired printing style is printed by taking measures such as changing the printing program or changing the printer to print.

  However, in the case of multiple sheets composed of thermal paper as described above, if a signature is required for multiple sheets for confirmation, there is a gap between the top slip and the slip required for copying. It was necessary to insert carbon paper, or to perform carbon processing in advance to make a copy, which was troublesome and inefficient.

  In addition, when issuing a receipt with a POS terminal device, a plurality of receipts are printed continuously in one transaction, a customer signature field is provided on one of them, and a handwritten signature for identity verification is received. The customer's signature is only on one receipt and not on the other receipt. This is troublesome for both the customer and the dealer when the customer's own handwritten signature is required for all the receipts, and it is difficult to say that it is practical from an operational point of view.

  For example, in the case of merchandise sales with a credit card, if the receipt is a three-sheet receipt printed on a POS terminal device, the signed first receipt is sent to the card company, and the unsigned receipt is sent to the customer and the merchandise. It becomes a copy of the sales company. Therefore, when there is a problem in the transaction (improper use such as impersonation), the purchaser's copy of the voucher is not signed when the signature is used to verify that the purchaser has purchased it. Therefore, the signature handwriting cannot be confirmed at the sales company.

  Furthermore, when printing receipts with different printing styles, it is necessary to change the printing program or change the printer, which is troublesome.

  The present invention relates to a receipt issuing device and a sales management device capable of easily changing a receipt printing mode for printing a receipt to a predetermined receipt printing mode and overwriting a predetermined position of a receipt printed on thermal paper.

  Further, the receipt print format determination unit selects the corresponding receipt print format from the plurality of receipt print formats stored in the receipt print format storage unit based on the product information and provides the selected receipt print format to the print unit. In the receipt printing mode, a product coat, a company code, a printing format, the number of printed receipts, and the length of each receipt are recorded.

  The customer's signature is received with a writing instrument that applies pressure, such as a ballpoint pen, to the topmost signature field of the stacked receipts. This made it possible to copy the signature on all the stacked receipts.

  Here, the overwritable receipt paper was wound into a roll having a thermosensitive coloring layer on the surface of the paper substrate and a carbonless layer enabling pressure-sensitive copying on the back surface of the paper substrate. Thermal roll paper.

  The carbonless layer is continuously formed in the longitudinal direction with a predetermined width at a predetermined position on the back surface of the receipt paper.

  Further, the plurality of receipts printed based on the receipt printing format are signatures provided at predetermined positions on each receipt by superimposing one side of each receipt or a mark printed on each receipt. The overwriting is enabled when the columns are located at the same position.

  Further, the signature field can be provided only for a specific receipt of the number of printed receipts.

  Further, the present invention provides a barcode reader for reading a product code of a product purchased by a customer, a display device for displaying product information such as a product name and a price related to the selected product, and overwriting At least one POS terminal device having a receipt issuing device for issuing possible receipts, and a PLU connected to the POS terminal device and storing data such as a price corresponding to a product code of each handled product A file, a customer information file storing information such as customer attributes and purchase results, and a receipt printing format file storing a plurality of types of receipt printing formats for issuing a predetermined receipt corresponding to the product.

At this time, the receipt issuing device 14 is controlled by the control unit 19 with respect to the number of printed receipts and the length of cutting the receipt, and a predetermined number of purchase slips 35 (receipts) cut to a predetermined length by the cutting unit 20. ) Is printed.

  The receipt issuing device 14 first prints the purchase slip 35a on the thermal roll paper 60, and cuts and discharges the purchase slip 35a to a predetermined length when printing of the purchase slip 35a is completed. Subsequently, the purchase slip 35b is printed on the thermal roll paper 60, and when the purchase slip 35b is printed, it is cut into a predetermined length and discharged.

  The person in charge superimposes at least one side of the issued purchase slip 35a and the purchase slip 35b so that the name fields 36a and 36b overlap at the same position. For example, in the example of FIG. 6, the side 37a of the purchase slip 35a and the side 37b of the purchase slip 35b are overlapped, and further, the side 38a of the purchase slip 35a and the side 38b of the purchase slip 35b are overlapped. The name fields 36a and 36b overlap at the same position.

  In this state, the customer's signature is entered in the name field 36a of the purchase slip 35a with a writing instrument such as a ballpoint pen. The signature of the name field 36a written by the customer is transferred and copied to the name field 36b by the carbonless layer 63 provided on the back surface of the purchase slip.

  Here, an example of an overwritable receipt printing form printed out by the receipt issuing device of the POS terminal device of the present invention is shown.

  FIG. 6 shows a schematic diagram of the first receipt printing mode. This embodiment is an example of a receipt set A composed of a plurality of receipts having the same length.

  In this example, a plurality of receipts having the same length are continuously printed, and a signature column 36 is provided at the same position of each receipt. In the example of FIG. 6, a schematic diagram example of a receipt set A (for example, a purchase slip, a customer copy, a delivery slip set) composed of three receipts 30, 31, and 32 having the same length is shown. ing. As shown in FIG. 6, the receipts 30, 31, and 32 have the same length, and therefore all sides are aligned when at least one predetermined side is overlapped. “Signature fields 36a, 36b, 36c” are provided at the same position of each receipt, and the positions coincide when they are overlapped.

  When a signature is signed on the “signature field 36a” on the top surface of the stacked receipt 30 with a ballpoint pen or the like, the receipts 31 on which the carbons of the carbonless layer 63 formed on the back surface of the stacked receipts 30 and 31 are opposed to each other. , 32 can be copied and entered in the “signature fields 36b, 36c” of all the lower receipts 31, 32 superimposed on the receipt 30. The receipt printing format in the example of FIG. 6 is common to the three receipts 30, 31, and 32, and three receipts are printed in one printing format.

  FIG. 7 shows a schematic diagram example of the second receipt printing mode. In FIG. 7, the printed receipts 50, 51, 52 having different lengths are two sides of the receipts 50, 51, 52, that is, one side 55a, 55b, 55c of the receipt 50, 51, 52 and the other side 56a. , 56b, and 56c, a receipt set that allows the position of the signature field 36a of the receipt 52 of different lengths to be superimposed at the same position as the “signature fields 36b and 36c” of the other receipts 50 and 51. A schematic diagram of B is shown.

  The receipt issuing device 14 of the present invention performs receipt printing by selecting a receipt printing format to be used from among a plurality of receipt printing formats stored in a receipt printing format file corresponding to product data. For example, in the receipt set shown in FIG. 7, the receipt 50 and the receipt 51 have the same size and the same content, and the receipt 52 has a part of the print content different and the length of the receipt is different according to the print content.

  In this case, two types of receipt printing modes, a receipt printing mode for printing the receipt 50 and the receipt 51, and a receipt printing mode for printing the receipt 51 are selected, and the selected two types of receipt printing modes and a receipt issuing program are selected. Use it to create receipt print data. As a result, the receipt issuing device 14 can continuously print receipts having a plurality of receipt configurations having different lengths (different printing formats) in one transaction.

  In the receipt issuing apparatus of the present invention, by aligning at least one side of a plurality of receipts, the position of the signature column 36a of the top receipt and the positions of the signature columns 36b and 36c of each receipt are the same position. Thus, printing can be controlled.

  In FIG. 7, the receipts 50, 51, 52 are provided with “signature fields 36 a 36 b, 36 c” at the same predetermined distance from the F-side end of the receipt (in the print start row direction). Yes.

  The receipt printing format in the example of FIG. 7 is a common receipt printing format for the two receipts 50 and 51, and the receipt 52 uses a receipt printing format for printing the receipt 52. When printing this receipt set, the receipt issuing device 14 is controlled to print using the two receipt printing modes.

  By superimposing the sides 55a, 55b, and 55c of the printed receipts 50, 51, and 52 and the sides 56a, 56b, and 56c, the positions of the “signature fields 36a” of the receipts 52 having different lengths are changed to the other receipts 50. , 51 "signature fields 36b, 36c".

In the case of such a receipt configuration, the contents of printing differ for each receipt and the positions of the “signature fields 36a, 36b, 36c” are different, so even if the two sides of each receipt are overlapped, the “signature field 36a , 36b, 36c "are not superimposed at the same position.

  For this reason, in receipt printing in the receipt set C, a “mark 45” for alignment is printed from the position of the “signature column 36a” to a position of a predetermined length (interval) in the length direction of the receipt. The interval between the “mark 45” and the “signature section 36b, 36c” is controlled and printed at the same interval in the printing of each receipt.

  The position of the “mark 45” may be in the longitudinal direction from the “signature column” in the print start line direction (F side shown in the figure) or in the print end line direction (R side shown in the figure).

  For the printing of “mark 45” for alignment, the printing positions of “signature field 36” and “mark 45” are defined in advance in the receipt printing format, and printing is performed by controlling the receipt printing unit 18 in accordance with the receipt printing format. .

  Alternatively, the number of lines at the printing position of “mark 45” of the first receipt 40 is counted and the number of counted lines is stored in the storage unit, and the second receipt is printed according to the stored number of counted lines. Control is performed to print the mark 45 ".

  Alternatively, a method in which a position after a predetermined number of lines from the “signature fields 36c, 36b, 36c” printing position is set as a position for printing “mark 45”.

  Each receipt printed with “mark 45” for alignment is aligned with the “sign 45” printed on each receipt to be overlapped, so that the “signature column 36a” position of the top receipt and each other receipt The positions of the above “signature fields 36b and 36c” are the same position.

  When a “signature box 36a” provided on the uppermost receipt 40 of the stacked receipt set C is signed (signed) with a ballpoint pen or the like, the carbonless layer 63 formed on the back surface of each stacked receipt 40, 41. This carbon is transferred to the surfaces of the opposite receipts 41 and 42, and the signatures can be copied and entered in the “signature fields 36b and 36c” of all the lower receipts 41 and 42 superimposed on the receipt 40. The receipt printing format shown in the example of this figure is that three receipts 40, 41, and 42 have different printing contents, and three receipts are printed using a receipt issuing program that executes three types of receipt printing formats and receipt printing. Print.

  Furthermore, it is possible to control so that the signature column 36 is printed only on a designated receipt in a receipt set which is a set of a plurality of sheets. In this case, a receipt printing format having a “signature field 36” and a receipt printing format not having a “signature field 36” are used, and these sheet printing formats are controlled by a receipt issuing program to perform receipt printing. .

  Similarly, the position of the “signature column 36” of the receipt is stored in the receipt print format file 8 by setting the receipt print format according to a predetermined condition (for example, for each card company), and corresponding to the predetermined condition. Since the receipt printing mode to be used is selected and used, it is possible to easily print receipts having different printing positions in the “signature field 36”.
