Abstract

PURPOSE:To drastically improve the operability of a cash register by adding the key function of a first function key to a second function key beforehand when the execution of a second type action condition is always accompanied with a first type action condition. CONSTITUTION:For example, the functions of cash payment registration, cash receipt registration, change registration, etc., are set at the respective function keys of a function key group 40, and codes corresponding to respective transaction contents, namely the codes of addition or subtraction, can be allotted. When a list key 37 is pushed, and a list mode is set, according to the addition or subtracton codes set at the respective function keys, a registered amount is updated in a memory area, and by pushing a balance key 39, the total amount is printed. When a list mode setting code '1' in the function key group 40 pushes the allotted key, a process immediately rushes to the list mode, and the same action as that obtained by pushing the list key 37 can be obtained only by pushing the function key.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash teller machine used for dispensing and dispensing cash and securities, for example, in counter operations of financial institutions such as banks.

Conventional technology teller machines have, for example, a "deposit" key to indicate that the transaction type is a cash deposit, and a "deposit" key to indicate that the transaction type is a cash withdrawal.
Various function keys such as a withdrawal j key are provided. For example, if you want to deposit 10,000 yen in cash, use the numeric keys to
By inputting ``loooo'' and selecting and pressing the ``deposit'' key from among the various function keys, a cash deposit of 10,000 yen is registered.

When registering such cash deposits, the following operations are performed in order to perform registration in which the amount manually entered using the number keys is added in the final process, that is, to perform addition registration.

That is, prior to inputting the amount, the "list" key is operated to set the list mode in which addition registration or subtraction registration is executed.

When the list mode is set by pressing this "list" key, the amount cannot be entered. By pressing a function key, such as a "deposit" key, the input amount is added and registered. Further, in the case of cash withdrawal 5, subtraction registration is performed in the same manner.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention For example, if the type of transaction to be registered is determined to be added or subtracted using the list mode, be sure to use the "list" mode before entering the amount.
Keys had to be pressed and the operation was complicated. In addition, if the operator forgets to press the "List" key when the list mode should be set due to carelessness, incorrect input may occur.
In some cases, reliable registration was not performed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a cash teller machine with significantly improved operability when pressing various function keys.
