The operation is performed independently in response to the operation of the key 18.

First, the operation of the setting process will be described with reference to FIG. In step A1, it is determined whether or not the mode is the setting mode, that is, whether or not the positions of the mode switches 17g and 18g are in the "setting". If the mode is not the setting mode, NO is determined in step A1 and the process proceeds to another mode process in step A10. If the mode is the setting mode, YES is determined in step A1 and the process proceeds to step A2.

In step A2, the key input unit 17,
It is determined whether a setting code has been input by operating the key 18. For example, when the number of connected drawers is one, "0" is input as a setting code using one of the ten keys 17a and 18a, and when the number of drawers is two, "1" is input as a setting code. In this step A2, YES
If it is determined, the process proceeds to step A3, and if NO, the process returns to step A1 and waits for input of a setting code. When the setting code is input, the process proceeds to step A3.

In step A3, the input setting code is temporarily stored in a register (not shown) in the CPU 19. Next, the process proceeds to step A4, where the temporarily stored setting codes are displayed on the display units 23 and 24. In the following step A5, it is determined whether or not one of the confirmation keys 17e and 18e has been operated. If YES is determined in step A5, the process proceeds to step A6, and if NO, step A8 is performed.
Proceed to. When the confirmation keys 17e and 18e are operated, the process proceeds to step A6.

In step A6, the input setting code is stored in the A register 21h. In the next step A7, the display content indicating the completion of the setting is displayed on one of the display units 23 and 24 corresponding to the key input unit. Step A
After the execution of step 7, the process returns to step A1.

If NO is determined in the step A5, the process proceeds to a step A8, and it is determined whether or not one of the clear keys 17f and 18f is operated. Step A8

In the case of keyboard 2 input, step B1
Is determined to be NO, and the process proceeds to step B3. Step B3
Then, the sales data registered and stored in the keyboard 2 memory 21b and the total memory 21c are updated based on the input sales data, and the processing in FIG. 6 ends.

Next, the operation of the closing process will be described. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the closing process. The closing process is performed after the sales data is registered, by pressing the “current / deposit” keys 17 d and 18.
The process is started when a closing key such as d is input.

In step C1, the normal closing process, that is, the total of the sales data is registered in the other memory 21i. In the next step C2, it is determined whether or not the keyboard 1 input, that is, the closing key of the key input unit 17 has been input. If YES is determined in step C2, the process proceeds to step C3, and if NO, the process proceeds to step C4. In the case of keyboard 1 input, the process proceeds to step C3.

In step C3, the cash data stored in the drawer 1 cash memory 21d and the cash memory 21f are updated based on the sum of the sales data.
The processing of is ended.

At step C2, if the input is from the keyboard 2, the process proceeds to step C4. In step C4, the cash data stored in the drawer 2 cash memory 21e and the cash memory 21f are updated based on the sum of the sales data, and the processing in FIG. 7 is ended.

Next, the settlement process will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the operation of the settlement process. The settlement process is started by setting the mode switches 17g and 18g to the settlement mode.

In step D1, it is determined whether or not the automatic recognition mode, that is, whether the changeover switch 22 is at the "auto" position. If YES is determined in step D1, the process proceeds to step D2, and if NO, the process proceeds to step D9. In the case of the automatic recognition mode, step D2 is performed to automatically recognize the number of the keyboard and the drawer connected to the ECR main body 10.
Proceed to.

In step D2, the number of keyboards connected to the ECR main body 10 is determined. If the number of keyboards is two, the process proceeds to step D3. If the number of keyboards is one, the process proceeds to step D5. If the number of keyboards is two, the process proceeds to step D3 and the ECR
It is determined how many drawers are connected to the main body 10. If it is determined in step D3 that the number of drawers is one, the process proceeds to step D4, and if it is two, the process proceeds to step D6.

In step D4, the data stored in the total memory 21c and the total cash memory 21f are settled.
That is, the sales amount data and the sales quantity data for each department stored in the total memory 21c and the cash data stored in the total cash memory 21f are sequentially read and printed by the printing unit 25. In this case, each data is the sum of the sales data registered by the keyboard 1 and the keyboard 2. After execution of step D4, the process proceeds to step D7.

In step D7, each memory of the RAM 21 is cleared, that is, stored in the keyboard 1 memory 21a, the keyboard 2 memory 21b, the total memory 21c, the drawer 1 high memory 21d, the drawer 2 high memory 21e, and the total high memory 21f. Cleared each data,
The settlement process of is ended.

If it is determined in step D2 that the number of keyboards is one, the process proceeds to step D5.
In step D5, as in step D3, the ECR body 1
The number of drawers connected to 0 is determined. Step D5
If it is determined that the number of drawers is one, the process proceeds to step D6, and if it is two, the process proceeds to step D8. If the number of drawers is one, the process proceeds from step D5 to step D6.

At step D6, the keyboard 1 memory 21a and the keyboard 2 corresponding to each connected keyboard
The data in the memory 21b and the total cash memory 21f are settled. That is, the sales amount data and sales amount data for each section stored in the keyboard 1 memory 21a, the sales amount data and sales number data for each section stored in the keyboard 2 memory 21b, and stored in the total cash memory 21f. The remaining money data is read out and printed by the printing unit 25. After execution of step D6, the process proceeds to step D7. In step D7, each memory of the RAM 21 is cleared in the same manner as described above, and the settlement process of FIG. 8 ends.

If it is determined in step D5 that the number of drawers is two, it means that two drawers are connected to one keyboard. In this case, the use of two drawers for one operator is not normally performed, and it is a connection error. Therefore, the process proceeds to the error processing of step D8 to notify the operator of the connection error, and ends the settlement processing of FIG.

If the changeover switch 22 is in the "set" position and the answer is NO in step D1, the process proceeds to step D9. In step D9, the setting code stored in the A register 21h is read, and the setting code is "1".
Is determined. When the setting code is “1”, it indicates that the set number of drawers is two. If YES is determined in step D9, the process proceeds to step D10, and NO
In the case of, the process proceeds to step D12.

When the setting code is "1", that is, when the number of drawers is two, the process proceeds from step D9 to step D10. In step D10, the data in the keyboard 1 memory 21a, the keyboard 2 memory 21b, and the total cash memory 21f corresponding to each keyboard are settled, as in step D6. That is, the sales amount data and sales quantity data for each department stored in the keyboard 1 memory 21a, and the sales amount data for each department stored in the keyboard 2 memory 21b.
The sales quantity data and the cash data stored in the total cash memory 21f are read out and printed by the printing unit 25.
In the following step D11, the money amount data is displayed on the display units 23 and 24 corresponding to the respective keyboards. After execution of step D11, the process proceeds to step D7.

If the setting code is "0", that is, if the number of drawers is one, the process proceeds from step D9 to step D12. In step D12, as in step D4, the total memory 21c
Then, the data in the total cash memory 21f is settled. That is, the sales amount data and the sales quantity data for each department stored in the total memory 21c and the cash data stored in the total cash memory 21f are read out and printed by the printing unit 25. In the following step D13, the display section 23 (display section 1) displays the amount data read from the total amount memory 21f. After execution of step D13, step D
