PURPOSE:To get rid of sense of incongruity of operation and to stabilize the operation by setting a read-out window of a merchandise data read-out device upward, and setting keyboards within the plane that the read-out window is provided on. CONSTITUTION:A drawer 11 is provided under a frame 10, a merchandise data read-out device 12 is set at the center of the upper part of this frame 10, and a read-out window 13 for this merchandise data read-out device 12 is provided to face upward. Also, a keyboard 15 is provided on this side of the read-out window 13 positioned within the plane on which that read-out window 13 is formed, and a note and coin receiver 16 is formed on the left side of this keyboard 15. Then, the work of executing the scanning of the merchandise and the key input operation using the keyboard can be executed within the same plane. Thus, there is no sense of incongruity of operation, and a stable operation can be executed.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product sales registration device used as a PO8 terminal having a built-in product data reading device.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional product sales registration device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. That is, a drawer 2 is provided at the bottom of the casing 1, and a display section 3 is provided at the rear of the top of the casing 1. In the center of the housing 1, a reading window 5 of a product data reading device 4 and a keyboard 6 are provided on the right side, and a receipt issuing printer 7 is provided on the left side.

Further, a receipt issuing port 9 for issuing the receipt 8 of the receipt issuing printer is arranged on the front side.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention A product data reading device is provided with an upward-facing reading window and a keyboard is placed in front of it, but the aspects of both are different and the visual stability is poor. do not have. Therefore, since the scanning operation and the manual key operation use inclined surfaces with different inclinations, the operations feel completely different, resulting in poor operability.

In addition, since the receipt issuing printer is placed parallel to the product data reading device, the main body of the device is wide, making it easy to scan products with barcode-printed labels and store them in the cart. It is necessary to move the product a large distance by the distance of the receipt issuing printer 7, which increases the burden on the operator and also increases the scanning time.

Means for Solving the Problem In a product sales registration device equipped with a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer, the reading window of the product data reading device is disposed upward, and the reading window is The keyboard was arranged within the provided plane.

The work of scanning the product and the manual key operations using the keyboard can be performed in the same plane, so there is no discomfort between these operations, and stable operations can be performed. The arrangement of the reading window and keyboard provides a sense of visual stability and ease of operation from this point of view.The keyboard has flat keys, making it easy to handle products with water droplets and remove the water droplets. Even if it falls, there is no problem at all.

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

First, a drawer 11 is provided at the bottom of the casing 10, a product data reading device 12 is provided at the center of the top of the casing 10, and a reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 is provided facing upward. ing. Further, a reading confirmation lamp 14 is provided at the upper right of the reading window 13. This reading confirmation lamp 14 displays a blue color when data can be read, and changes to a red color when data is read to confirm that the data has been read.

Next, on the front side of the reading window 13, there is a reading window 13.
A keyboard 15 is provided within a plane in which a bill and coin tray 16 is formed on the left side of the keyboard 15.

Furthermore, a PLU keyboard 1 is located at the back of the reading window 13.
7 is provided.

Two pillars 18 projecting upward are integrally provided directly above the housing 10, and a display section 19 for customers is provided on the right side of the pillar 18, and a receipt is displayed on the left side. A printing printer 20 is provided. A receipt issuing port 22 for issuing a receipt 21 of this receipt issuing printer 20 is located at the upper part of the front side. It is positioned so that it will not interfere with the That is, the receipt issuing port 22 is provided at a position that is higher than the reading window 13 by a predetermined height and deviated in the back direction by a predetermined dimension. Furthermore, the scanning area here refers to the area that is the sum of the readable area where the barcode of the label attached to the product can be read and the product movement area where the product can be moved from side to side.

In such a configuration, a barcode that can be read by the product data reading device 12 is printed on the label attached to the product. Therefore, when reading the product data, the product is scanned over the reading window 13.

As a result, data is captured, and when the data is read, the reading confirmation lamp 14 changes to red, so that the reading status can be confirmed.

When scanning this product, the product data reading device 12
is formed singly in the width direction of the casing 10, so its width is small, so the scanning distance of the product is short, the burden on the operator is light, and the scanning time is also short.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result, a receipt 21 is issued from the receipt issuing port 22. If this receipt 21 is of normal length, it will not interfere with the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12, as described above, and will be located in a position where the operator will not interfere with it. ing. Therefore, there is no risk that the receipt 21 will be damaged by the operator.

Moreover, the position of the issued receipt 21 is such that the operator can easily take it.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a product sales registration device equipped with a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer, in which the reading window of the product data reading device is disposed upward. Since the keyboard is placed within the plane where the reading window is provided, the work of scanning products and manual key operations using the keyboard can be performed within the same plane, which eliminates the feeling of discomfort in these operations. You can perform stable operation without any problems.
In addition, since the reading window and keyboard are placed on the same plane, there is a sense of visual stability, and from this point of view, it is easy to operate. It has the effect that there is no problem at all even if water droplets fall when handled.
