Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a label in which unit setting is free by providing a markless constant amount column in which its unit item becomes markless in the constant amount PLU of a PLU memory to select the markless constant amount column if its unit is not set at the time of issue of a constant amount. CONSTITUTION:A label printer has a CPU 1, and a PLU (price lookup) memory 4 is connected thereto. A PLU code 9, a class code 10, a section code 11, a nomenclature column 12, a unit prince column 13, a remark column 14 are set in the memory 4. A memory A15 for setting an amount, a memory 16B for setting a unit, a unit price flag column 17 are set in the column 13. Numeral information and the unit area set in relation like '26-cut', '27-bag'. As to the no seal, its numeral is set to '29', and the unit price flag 17 set by this numeral is set as a markless constant amount column. A markless constant amount label is written by hand as a unit written constant amount label.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a label printer used for marking products sold in supermarkets.

Conventional technology Generally, in this type of label printer, a PLU memory is provided in which information such as product number, product name, unit price, tare weight, expiration date, etc. is set for each PLU number, and the PLU is stored from this PLU memory.
A specific product is called up using a number and the contents created according to the set information are printed and issued on a label. In addition to this function, flat rate issuance is also carried out based on the number of pieces in predetermined units and the total price, such as ``12 pieces for 500 yen'' or ``12 pieces for 500 yen.''

In this fixed amount issuance, for example, "21-pcs/price" and "2
There are items such as 2-tail/price, 23-piece/price, 24-piece/price Jr. 25-g/price Jr. 26-cut/price, and 27-bag/price, etc., and the key human-powered items are displayed for each PLU. The item is stored in the unit price flag area of the PLU memory, and when the label is output, the item is printed as "12 pieces 500 yen" or "12 pieces 500 yen" as described above.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention When issuing a fixed amount, the units used are limited as mentioned above, and when using a unit that is not set in the unit price flag of the fixed amount PLU, the unit price flag settings cannot be made. For example, it is not possible to set "10 East 500 yen". Therefore,
It is not possible to use the PLU memory, and each item to be printed on the label must be manually set using keys or other means, which is extremely troublesome.

Means to solve the problem A PLU memory is provided in which information such as product number, product name, unit price, tare weight, validity period, etc. is determined by PLU number number, and a specific product is called up from this PLU memory using the PLU number and set. In a label printer that prints and issues contents created according to information on a label, the fixed amount P of the PLU memory is used.
An unmarked fixed amount field was created in the LU field where the unit field is unmarked.

Effect Therefore, when issuing a fixed amount, if the unit is not set in advance as a fixed amount PLU in the PLU memory, by selecting the unmarked fixed amount field, the setting of "unmarked price" is made, and for example, "10 bundles 500 In the case of “Yen”, “10
500 yen for opening"...Here, opening indicates a space where nothing is printed...A label is printed.

Therefore, the 0 on the label printed "10 units 500 yen"
In the field, write ``1 bundle by hand'' and use.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, the label printer is equipped with CPU1, and this C
ROM2 in which program memory is set is P and Ul.
, RAM3 consisting of various memory units and PLU (Price Look Up Memory) consisting of RAM.
Memory 4 is connected.

Next, a scale 5 and a keyboard 6 are connected to the CPUI, as well as a printer 7 and a display 8.

Next, the PLU memory 4 contains a PLU code 9, a class code 10, a department code 11, a product name field 12. A unit price column 13 and a reserve column 14 are respectively set. and,
The unit price field 13 is provided with a memory A15 in which an amount is set, a memory BIB in which a unit is set, and a unit price flag field 17 in which a unit price flag is set for selecting any one in the memory B1B. ing. This unit price flag column 17 includes, for example, “21-pieces,” “22-pieces,” “23-pieces,” “23-pieces,” “22-pieces,” “23
The numerical information and the unit are set in association with each other so that the unit can be specified by a number, such as "24-piece J r25-g J r26-cut" and "27-bag." Also, for unmarked items, the number is ``29''.
", and the unit price flag 17 to which this number is set becomes an unmarked fixed price field.

Note that 18 is a flat rate label issued according to the contents set in the flat rate PLU, and 19 is an unmarked flat rate label issued with a unit of unmarked. Further, numeral 20 is a fixed amount label in which the unit is written on the unmarked fixed amount label 19 by hand.

In such a configuration, first, the fixed amount PLU is set. For example, assume that the price is 500 yen for 12 pieces. In other words, the PLU type, that is, the unit is
"r pieces" of "sheet, book, g, cut, bag", etc., so the operation is to input "12" with the numeric key, enter "piece" with the PLU type key, and press the numeric key. By inputting r500J in , and inputting the fixed price key, the contents of "12 pieces for 500 yen" are stored in the PLU memory 4.

On the other hand, if the unit cannot be set, PLU settings are performed as follows. For example, if the price of 5 bundles is 300 yen, enter "5" using the numeric keys, and then enter the space key rSPJ. Then, input r300J using the number keys, and then input the fixed amount key. This results in 50300
The contents of the circle are stored in the PLU memory 4.

However, when issuing the label, chocolate is
When the price is set at 500 yen per piece, if you enter the PLU number and issue a label, you will receive 1 yen as shown in Figure 4 (a).
A flat rate label 18 indicating 500 yen for two pieces is issued.

Also, if 5 bundles of green onions cost 300 yen, the PL
When you call the U number and issue a label, it will appear in Figure 4 (b).
As shown in , an unmarked flat rate label 19 with "50,300 yen" printed on it is issued. For this unmarked flat rate label 19, by manually writing "bundle" on the mouth part, a unit criminal flat rate label 20 displaying 5 bundles of 300 yen is obtained.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a PLU memory in which information such as product number, product name, unit price, tare, and expiry date is determined by a PLU number, and calls a specific product from this PLU memory using the PLU number. In a label printer that prints and issues the content created according to the information set on the label, an unmarked fixed amount column is provided in the PL (J memory fixed amount) item where the unit item is unmarked, so when issuing a fixed amount, If the unit is not set in advance to the fixed amount PLU in the PLU' memory, by selecting the unmarked fixed amount column,
For example, in the case of ``10 East 500 yen'', a label with ``RLO 500 yen'' printed on it will be issued, and a 0 on the label with ``10 units 500 yen'' printed on it will be issued.
You can obtain a label that allows you to freely set the unit, such as by writing "1 bundle by hand" in the field.
