FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining an example of a general-purpose design delivery slip, and FIG. 4 is an input screen for creating a preprint information DB necessary for issuing the delivery slip. FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example, and FIG. 5 is a diagram for explaining an example of an input screen for creating a personal information DB necessary for issuing a delivery slip.

An example of a delivery slip issuing method according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
One of the delivery slip issuing methods of the present invention is to read out preprint information designated by customer information from preprint information existing in a plurality of delivery slips by the control device 1, and store preprint information on the delivery slip 4 by the printer 2. This is a method for printing customer information at the same time.

  Another method of issuing the delivery slip is to read customer information designated by the control device 1 for each preprint information that exists in a plurality of delivery slips, and simultaneously send the preprint information and customer information to the delivery slip 4 by the printer 2. This is a method for issuing a delivery slip to be printed.

In order to issue the delivery slip 4 by the delivery slip issuing method, first, a customer code is generated for each customer by the input device 3 or the like, and customer information obtained in advance such as name, address, etc. is input for each customer code, A customer information DB 11 is created and stored in the storage unit.
Further, ruled lines, design information, text information such as characters that should be printed by the printing means on the delivery slip, position information (hereinafter also referred to as layout information) on which position of the slip is printed. A slip type code is attached to the preprint information, and the preprint information DB 12 is created and stored in the storage unit as the preprint information.
The control device may or may not be directly connected to the printer. When the printer is not connected to the control device, print data is input from a disk (for example, DVD) or a magnetic tape.
Although not shown, the product information handled by the delivery slip issuer is also converted into a DB and stored in a file in the storage unit.
In the following description, since product information differs for each customer information, the product information is included in the customer information.

With reference to FIG. 2, an example of a method for simultaneously printing out by the customer information DB and the preprint information DB will be described.
The customer information DB is composed of a file for each customer, and a customer code is attached to each customer. If the company has a customer code with name and address data, age or date of birth, gender, occupation, and membership organization Text data such as date of membership, company information, and asset information is filed. The customer information files of the above customers a to n are stored as customer information in the customer information DB 11 connected to the control device.
On the other hand, data for each slip type is filed in the preprint information DB. The slip type code, each slip type code, ruled lines to be printed on the delivery slip by the printing means, design information, characters, etc. Preprint information 1 to preprint information n such as text information and position information on which position of the slip is to be printed are filed. The above-described preprint information 1 to preprint information n are stored in the preprint information DB 12 in the preprint information DB 12 connected to the control device.

In FIG. 2, the control device 1 reads the file of the customer a from the customer information DB by a program instructed by an input device (not shown), customer code, name information by text data, address information by text data, and The product code affixed with the customer code is read as customer information and temporarily stored.
Next, the control device 1 creates a file of preprint information a from a preprint information code (substantially a slip type code) affixed to the customer code by a program instructed by an input device (not shown). 121 is read from the preprint information DB. A print position information is read from the file 121 of the preprint information a and a program for converting customer information into print data is assigned. Further, preprint information for directly printing character information is read out, and further, image and ruled line information is read out, and the entire preprint information a is stored in a temporary storage unit of the control device.

The control device 1 transmits the previously stored customer information of the customer a and the whole information of the preprint information a to the printer.
When the printer is not connected to the control device, print data is input from a disk (for example, DVD) or a magnetic tape.
The printer 2 stores the customer information of the customer a and the whole information of the preprint information a in the storage unit, converts them into kanji of the typeface designated by the program assigned to the position information, or converts them into numbers, It is converted into a design based on coordinate values, and converted into a ruled line and printed on a delivery slip.
The printer 2 sequentially stores the customer-specific print information for one delivery slip sent from the control device in the temporary storage unit, and prints them on the delivery slip while sequentially discharging them.

With reference to FIG. 3, an example of a general purpose delivery slip will be described.
In recent years, a delivery slip corresponding to a sheet that can be printed by a high-speed printer by gathering each sheet of a copy-type slip on one sheet has appeared.
In the delivery slip 4 shown in the figure, the information of the first sheet of the conventional copy-type slip is distributed to the print area “A” 41, the print area “B” 42, the print areas “C” 43 and “E” 46. The other information provided is distributed in the print area “D1” 44 or the print area “D2” 45, and is affixed in a label format on the mount.

Different types of adhesives are applied to the back side of the label formed on the mount depending on the role.
For example, in the case of a label attached to a package, a strong adhesive type adhesive is formed on the back side, and in the case of a label handed as a copy, an adhesive that cannot be applied again once formed is formed. The delivery slip 4 is a normal label sheet at the time of printing.

Further, as described above, the delivery slip 4 shown in FIG. 3 is a general-purpose product that collects the collect slip, the freezing delivery slip, the refrigeration delivery slip, the time zone indication delivery slip, etc., which have been conventionally separated into one design. It is an example of a design delivery slip.
In the print area “A” 41, at least whether this slip is a “normal slip” or, for example, the “collect slip” is printed and displayed in characters.
In the print area “E” 46, the campaign information on the side issuing the slip is printed and displayed as characters or illustrations.
In the print area “D1” 44, the product information to be delivered is printed and displayed with the product name.

  Further, in many cases, the paper pieces of the print areas “B”, “C”, “D1”, and “D2” in the label format are formed with a half-cut notch around the periphery. It can be peeled off as a piece of paper.

With reference to FIG. 4, an example of an input screen for creating a preprint information DB necessary for issuing a delivery slip will be described.
On the input screen for creating the preprint information DB, “slip type”, “layout information”, “design information”, “character information”, and the like are displayed in a listable state.
In the “slip type” input field, for example, “S1” for “normal delivery slip”, “S2” for “collection delivery slip”, and so on are entered.
In the “layout information” input field, a symbol indicating a print area is input.
When the print area “A” is input, the area code of the print area “A”, an editing program, etc. are pasted and incorporated. The following print area is input in the same procedure.
In the “design information” input field, the design information code “d1” corresponding to the above-described layout information “A” for each print area is input. A program for reading the design information code “d1” from the design information file is attached to the design information code “d1”.
In the “character information” input field, the character information code “t1” corresponding to the above-described layout information “A” for each print area is input. A program for reading the character information code “t1” from the character information file is attached to the character information code “t1”.

  Further, “layout information”, “design information”, and “character information” are sequentially input in the above-described procedure to create a preprint information DB.

An example of an input screen for creating a customer information DB necessary for issuing a delivery slip will be described with reference to FIG.
On the input screen for creating the customer information DB, “slip type” and “customer information” input fields are displayed. In the “customer information” input field, “product information”, “customer information 1”, “customer information 2” and the like are displayed in a listable state.
First, referring to the order list or the application form, the slip type code described in FIG. 4, for example, “S1” is input in the case of “normal delivery slip” in the “slip type” column.
Next, with reference to the product name and the product code list, the product code “c1, c2” is input in the input field of “product information of customer information”.
Next, name information “Taro Nihon” is entered in the input field of “customer information 1”. If the customer is registered as a member, the display changes to the customer code when the name is entered.
Enter the address information “Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo” in the “Customer information 2” input field. If you are registered as a member, your address is automatically displayed when you enter your name.
If the “customer information input field” is further displayed, the contents are entered.
In the “No” column, “114” is automatically displayed as the management number when “slip type” and “customer information” are entered.
