Description

  The present invention relates to a label issuing device that prints and issues a label to be attached to a product.

  As for the language support of the conventional label printer, the label printer device side stores the character information of the corresponding country and the software keyboard for inputting the character information of the country for the number of countries that can be handled, At the time of delivery of the label printer device, by selecting one of the countries that can be used from the stored countries that can be handled and storing the setting, the characters are displayed on the screen with the character information of the selected country. When inputting characters, the software keyboard on which the characters of the selected country are laid out is displayed on the screen, and the characters are input (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  Therefore, when using a label printer device, a manufacturer that ships products to a plurality of countries adjacent to the home country issues a label that matches the destination country and ships the product with the label attached. Therefore, when changing the setting of the product data or printing the label, reset the language of the country to be printed on the label each time, or after changing the language setting, input the product data, or It was normal to perform label printing.

  However, there is a drawback that the product data cannot be input due to forgetting to set or a setting error or the characters of the destination country are not correctly printed on the label. Furthermore, since the conventional label printer apparatus has to switch the set country for each country to which it is delivered and issue labels, it is troublesome and time consuming.

Also, the unit of weight and unit price of the country used is determined from the currency unit set in the unit table according to the currency unit selected by the input operation unit, converted to the country's currency and weight unit, and specified. It is also known that only the item is printed on a label in a language of a different country (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
However, since the currency unit and the weight unit are only converted and printed in the languages of a plurality of countries, the other print items cannot be issued in a language of a plurality of countries.

FIG. 17 is an explanatory diagram that summarizes the state in which character information and keyboard information are set in the item of product information described above, a label printing example printed based on the set contents, a display example of the display unit, and the like in an easy-to-understand manner. The items of the product information (in the illustrated example, product names and additives) are displayed as character information of a plurality of countries, and one product is printed and displayed as character information of two countries as shown in the label printing example.
In order to perform the printing, it is necessary to store a label format in which the character information of which country among the character information set in each item stored in the product information file is printed at which position of the label is stored. There is.

As described above, the label issuing device of the present invention can set the language of each country to be printed or displayed on the registered product information and newly registered product information items, so that the product is delivered to different countries for each product. It is possible to print product labels and product labels that deliver one product to multiple countries in multiple national languages. Since the national language can be freely set and printed for each item and for each item, items that can be printed in different national languages and language type restrictions can be eliminated.
And since one data item consists of multiple lines, and you can specify the country of the character information and the keyboard layout used for the input for each line, when registering or changing the product, the character of a different country for each line Input and display are possible. In addition, since the keyboard layout of the country set for each line is automatically displayed, it is convenient to input characters without switching each time.
The product information file may be stored and managed in a relational database (relational database, SQL, etc.) or an XML database file. Note that the XML database is suitable for handling various data including many different items, or for adding or deleting items later.
Also, when the set product information is printed, it is printed with different national characters for each line, similar to the display. As a result, one item of product information (for example, product name) can be printed with characters from a plurality of countries, so it is possible to reduce the labor and frequency of input and printing, and a product to be shipped to a plurality of countries. A single label can be used.
In addition, since the country language in which the label is desired to be issued can be selected and set in the item of product information, it is possible to eliminate setting errors of product information, printing errors, and the like.

The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment, and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
(1) In this embodiment, character information and keyboard layout of a plurality of countries are set in the item of product information (see FIG. 4), or character information of a plurality of countries is set in the item of product information (see FIG. 5). Although an example is shown, it is not limited to this, and it may be possible to select and set from a character information file or the like linked to the item of product information.
Further, character information for each country is stored in each item of the product information, and country identification information is sequentially stored in the order corresponding to the character information for each country stored in each item in the last item of the product information. good.
