Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial field of application The present invention is used in stores and supermarkets,
This invention relates to an electronic cash register that registers the quantity of traded products, sales amount, etc.

The functions of conventional electronic cash registers include the function of registering the name, unit price, and sales amount of the sold product when selling the product, as well as the function of issuing a receipt. This receipt is a statement for each product sold that is given to the customer.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a receipt printed by a conventional electronic cash register. In conventional electronic cash registers, the first to fifth rows are registered in the order in which the operator registers.
The product name and unit price are printed on each line up to the first line. Next, refer to the registered products, and when a product that is eligible for bulk sale is registered, after printing the product name and unit price mentioned above, the words "Matomenebiki" and a number representing the discount amount will be printed on the 6th line. "r-70J" is printed as "r-70J".

Thereafter, the number of registered points is printed on the 8th line, and the total amount of registration amount is printed on the 9th line, for example, with an interval of one line. Figure 6 shows that three bottles of orange juice were sold in bulk, resulting in a discount of 70 yen.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing another example of printing on a receipt. Here, an example of printing in the case of combination sales is shown. 7th
In the example shown in the figure, instant coffee and cream powder are sold as a combination, resulting in a discount of 280 yen. In other words, similar to the printing example of the receipt for bulk sales described above, the product name and unit price of the registered product are printed on each line from the 1st line to the 4th line, and then the 5th line is printed. The words "Kumiawa Seneviki" and the discount amount = 280J are printed on the eyes. Thereafter, the number of registered points of the transaction product is printed on the seventh line, and the registered total amount is printed on the eighth line, with an interval of one line.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention As shown in Figures 6 and 7 above, the product names subject to bulk sales and combination sales are not listed randomly on the receipt (in the order in which they are registered by the operator). It will be printed. Generally, receipts are required to serve as receipts and household account books, but receipts from conventional electronic cash registers do not have a correspondence between the products that are sold in bulk or in combination and the discount amount. It is clear.

An object of the present invention is to provide an electronic cash register that can print easy-to-read receipts.

Means for Solving the Problems The present invention includes a receipt printing means for printing product information such as the product name and unit price of registered products on a long strip of paper and issuing a receipt. An electronic cash register that prints the product information on a receipt, comprising: product discrimination means for determining whether the registered product is a predetermined specific product; and based on the output of the product discrimination device, the predetermined specific product and a product information storage means for storing product information of the predetermined specific product, and after the product information other than the predetermined specific product is printed on the receipt, the product information of the predetermined specific product is printed on the receipt. This is an electronic cash register.

According to the present invention, when a product is registered, the product determining means determines whether the registered product is a predetermined specific product. If the product is not a predetermined specific product,
Product information of the registered product is printed on the receipt. If it is a predetermined specific product, the product information of the specific product is stored in the product information storage means, and is printed on the receipt after printing the product information of registered products other than the specific product.

As a result, product information regarding registered products other than the predetermined specific product is first printed on the receipt, and then product information regarding the predetermined specific product is printed on the receipt. The predetermined specific product is, for example, a product that is subject to a sales method generally referred to as bulk sales or combination sales. Bulk sales is a sales method in which a predetermined amount is discounted when a predetermined number of identical products or similar products are sold together. Combination sales is a sales method in which a predetermined amount of discount is given when mutually related products are sold in combination.

Therefore, product information regarding a predetermined specific product, such as product name, unit price, discount amount, etc., is printed on the receipt separately from product information other than the predetermined specific product. This makes it possible to print a receipt that is easy to read for the operator of the electronic cash register and the customer receiving the receipt.
