A reading window 5 and a keyboard 6 of the commodity data reading device 4 are provided on the right side of the central portion of the housing 1, and a receipt issuing printer 7 is provided on the left side. The receipt issuing port 9 for issuing the receipt 8 of the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged on the near side.

However, in such a device, the receipt 8 is issued from the front left side of the housing 1, but since the issued receipt 8 is close to the operator, the receipt 8 interferes with the operator and the receipt 8 is removed. It may be damaged.

Further, since the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged side by side next to the product data reading device 4, the device main body becomes wide, and the product with the label printed with the barcode is scanned and stored in the basket. In addition, the merchandise must be moved largely by the amount of the receipt issuing printer 7, which increases the burden on the operator and increases the scanning time.

Means for Solving the Problems The invention according to claim 1 is a product sales registration device including a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer, wherein the product sales data reading device has a reading window on the upper surface. Is disposed in the central part of the upper part of the housing, and a plurality of columns that project upward from the housing are provided at a position of the housing that does not interfere with the scanning area of the product sales data reading device at the back of the reading window. In the product data reading device, the receipt issuing printer and the display unit supported by the columns are arranged at an upper position so as not to interfere with the scanning area of the product data reading device. A PLU keyboard, in which keys for inputting data of unreadable products are arranged, is arranged between the columns below the receipt issuing printer and the display unit. It was

According to the second aspect of the present invention, the key operated when the registration for each customer is completed is provided on the casing on the operator side of the merchandise sales data reading device.

The receipt issued from the receipt issuing port does not interfere with the operator, so that there is no risk of damage to the receipt, and the receipt issuing printer is provided separately from the product data reading device. Only the product data reader can be placed in the width direction of the housing,
Therefore, it is possible to shorten the distance for scanning the product, reduce the burden on the operator, and also shorten the scanning time.In addition, the product data reader for inputting product data and the PLU keyboard are Since the products are arranged in the front-rear direction on the top surface of the housing, when there is no data that can be read and input by the product data reader, the product is scanned using the product data reader from the scanning operation. You can quickly and easily switch to input operations with the PLU keyboard.Because the PLU keyboard is located under the receipt issuing printer and the display unit, you can effectively use the dead space. Since the PLU keyboard placed between the columns can be visually confirmed, the customer may feel uneasy. In addition, the drawer is generally opened to the operator side, and the key operated at the time of registration for each customer is the casing on the operator side rather than the merchandise sales data reading device. Since it is provided on the body, it can be used as a product data reader or PL.
It is possible to quickly and easily shift from the registration work using the U keyboard to the money transfer work using the drawer.

Embodiment An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. First, a drawer 11 is provided at a lower portion of the housing 10.
At the center of the upper part of the product data reading device 12, a reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 is provided facing upward. At the upper right of the reading window 13, a reading confirmation lamp 14 is provided. The reading confirmation lamp 14 is displayed in blue when the reading is possible, and changes to red by reading the data to confirm the reading.

Next, on the front side of the reading window 13, there is a keyboard 15 in which keys to be operated when registration for each customer is completed are arranged.
And a bill and coin receiver 16 is formed on the left side of the keyboard 15. Further, a PLU keyboard 17 is provided behind the reading window 13. Further, a continuous protrusion 15a is formed on the side of the commodity data reading device 12 of the keyboard 15.

Then, the two pillars 18 projecting upward are integrally provided in the back upper part of the housing 10, and the upper part of the pillar 18 has:
A display unit 19 for customers is provided on the right side, and a printer 20 for issuing receipts is provided on the left side. The receipt issuing port 22 for issuing the receipt 21 of the receipt issuing printer 20 is provided at the upper part on the near side, and in a normal receipt 21, the receipt area is located in the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the commodity data reading device 12. Are positioned so as not to interfere with That is, the receipt issuing port 22 is provided at a position higher than the reading window 13 by a predetermined height and deviated by a predetermined dimension in the depth direction. Here, the scanning area refers to an area obtained by adding a readable area in which a bar code of a label attached to a product can be read and a product moving area in which the product is moved right and left.

Then, the support column 18 is formed to be relatively thin, and between these support columns 18, that is, between the product data reading device 12, the receipt issuing printer 20 and the display unit 19, A space 23 is formed. Also,
The PLU keyboard 17 is located below the receipt issuing printer 20 and the display unit 19.

In such a configuration, a bar code that can be read by the product data reading device 12 is printed on the label attached to the product. Therefore, in reading the product data, the product is scanned on the reading window 13. Thus, the data is taken in. When the data is read, the reading confirmation lamp 14 changes to red so that the reading state can be confirmed. At the time of scanning this product, the product data reading device 12 is formed independently in the width direction of the housing 10, so that the width dimension thereof is small, and thus the scanning distance of the product is short and the operator's burden is light, The scanning time may be short. Then, when the registration for each customer is completed, the closing key of the keyboard 15 is operated.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result,
The receipt 21 is issued from the receipt issuing port 22. If the receipt 21 has a normal length, as described above, the receipt 21 does not interfere with the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 and is located at a position where the operator does not interfere. ing. Therefore, the receipt 21 is not likely to be damaged by the operator. Moreover, the position of the issued receipt 21 is a position that the operator can easily take.

In such an operation, the key operated at the time when the registration for each customer is completed exists in the keyboard 15 on the front side, so that the operation is easy to perform. Of course, PLU keyboard 1
This PLU keyboard 17 is also used for 7.
Is used in the case of a product that cannot be read by the product data reading device 12, so the frequency of use is low.
Therefore, there is no particular problem even if it is located in a place that is somewhat difficult to use.

Furthermore, the water attached to the product may drop during use, but the water is diverted by the protrusion 15a and the keyboard 1
Since it does not reach 5, the protrusion 15a has a waterproof function. Further, even when a product is dropped, the probability that the operation key of the keyboard 15 is pressed by hitting the protruding portion 15a is reduced, so that malfunction is less likely to occur.

Then, in the case where face-to-face sales where the operator and the customer face each other, the customer can confirm the keyboard operation and the scanning operation of the operator from the space portion 23, whereby there is no anxiety, It is also possible to prevent fraud by the operator.

As described above, the present invention is a product sales registration device including a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer. A plurality of pillars, which are arranged in the central portion of the upper part and project upward from the housing at a position of the housing that does not interfere with the scanning area of the product sales data reading device in the back of the reading window, in the width direction of the housing. The receipt issuing printer and the display section, which are erected separately from each other and are supported by the support columns, are arranged in an upper position that does not interfere with the scanning area of the product data reading device, and cannot be read by the product data reading device. Since the PLU keyboard in which the keys for inputting product data are arranged is arranged between the support column under the receipt issuing printer and the display unit, the receipt The receipt issued from the ticket issuing slot does not interfere with the operator, and there is no risk of damage to the receipt. Also, since a receipt issuing printer is provided separately from the product data reading device, Since only the product data reading device can be arranged in the width direction of the body, the distance for scanning the product can be shortened, the burden on the operator can be reduced, and the scanning time can also be shortened. Also, since the product data reading device for inputting product data and the PLU keyboard are arranged in the front-back direction on the upper surface of the housing,
When the data that can be read and input by the product data reader is not attached to the product, the product is scanned by using the product data reader, and the scanning operation is started.
You can switch to keyboard input operation quickly and easily.Because the PLU keyboard is located under the receipt issuing printer and the display, you can effectively use the dead space and Since the PLU keyboard arranged between the columns can be visually confirmed, the customer does not feel uneasy, and generally, the drawer is provided so as to open to the operator side, and, Since the key operated at the time of registration for each customer is provided on the operator's case rather than the product sales data reader, the drawer is used from the registration work using the product data reader or PLU keyboard. This has the effect of enabling a quick and easy transition to money transfer business.
