Description

  The present invention relates to a label issuance system that prints and issues product data of processed food on a label, and more particularly to a label issuance system that issues a label by associating and calling processed food with the product data.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a label printer that issues and prints product data such as product names and prices on a label stores product data such as product names and unit prices in advance in a storage means (product file) corresponding to the product number (product number). When the label is issued, the product name and unit price stored in advance can be called by looking at the product and inputting the product number, so that print data can be set with a single touch (for example, Patent Document 1). reference).
However, it takes experience to see the product and quickly determine the exact part number. On the other hand, the label issuing operation by operating this type of label printer is often performed by an inexperienced clerk or part-timer, and it may be difficult to quickly determine an accurate product number.

  In addition, the labeling work performed in conventional food supermarket backyards and food processing plants is performed by skilled workers, so the processed food can be seen at a glance and the product name and product number can be determined instantly. Therefore, it is possible to call a product without fail and print and issue a label so that the label can be smoothly applied. However, if an inexperienced clerk or part-timer works, it is impossible to determine what the product name or product number is just by looking at the processed food, so a label is issued. There was a problem that the product could not be specified and the label issuance and labeling work could not be performed.

In addition, since the product data necessary for label issuance is relied on the experience and memory of the worker, the data for another product is called by misunderstanding or mistaken for similar processed foods, and label issuance and label pasting operations are performed. There is a problem of being done.
When such a problem occurs, the customer is forced to purchase a product different from the product originally purchased by the label of another product that is misunderstood or misunderstood, so the store not only loses the customer visiting the store, There is a possibility of developing into a big problem of losing social trust.
