Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of issuing a paper on which each target content is printed in each mode.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventional product sales registration data processing devices are
It is possible to switch between “setting”, “registration”, “inspection” and “payment” modes. The merchandise sales registration work performed by switching to the registration mode is performed as follows. The cashier uses the scanner or the keyboard to input the product code of the product purchased by the customer. Then, the CPU searches the product data file, reads the product data (product name, unit price, etc.) corresponding to the product code, and registers the product in the registration file. This input operation is executed for all customer-purchased products, and when the series of input operations is completed, the subtotal key is pressed. Then, the total amount of money is required. After that, by pressing the deposit / cash total key, the total amount is added to the current total amount, and the change or the like is calculated. At the same time, the contents are displayed on the display and printed on receipt paper and journal paper which are continuous paper wound in a roll. Also, using the opened drawer, settlement including money transfer is performed and a receipt is issued.

Although the printed contents on the issued receipt have a small difference depending on the store or the like to be used, the merchandise data is in the order of input, that is, the order of merchandise registration. The receipt is issued by driving the cutter to cut the paper after printing. Therefore, the customer who receives the receipt can confirm the purchased product, the total amount of money, and the like, which is useful for filling in the household account book.

On the other hand, if the shop side is in the inspection mode, it is possible to collect, as an inspection report, the departmental amounts of the products sold up to that point, the current total amount, and the like. Similarly, when the settlement mode is switched to the settlement operation for one day, a settlement report in which various data are further printed can be obtained. Both the inspection report and the settlement report are printed and issued on paper.

[0005]

By the way, a receipt in the registration mode, an inspection report in the inspection mode,
The settlement report in the settlement mode is formed to be automatically issued while the cutter is driven and the continuous paper is cut after the printing of each predetermined target content is completed. However, the utilization of this device has increased and the processing functions have increased, and the print target contents of the inspection report and the settlement report have been increasing. Therefore, the printing time on these continuous sheets is long, and the size thereof is also long.

Thus, according to the conventional issuing method, the cashier or the like often inspects and cleans the surroundings or leaves the place for contact until the issuance of the paper having a long printing time is completed. . Then, the automatically issued paper may fall on the floor and become dirty, be stomped on by another person to be damaged, or blown by the wind and lost.

An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of preventing stains, damages, and loss of paper which has a large print amount and takes a long time to be issued.

[0008]

A product sales registration data processing apparatus according to the present invention is capable of selectively switching between a registration mode, an inspection mode and a settlement mode, and a continuous paper on which each target content is printed in each mode. In the product sales registration data processing device that is formed to be able to be issued by cutting the paper, the paper cut that is performed after the printing of the target content is completed on condition that either the inspection mode or the payment mode is selected is forced. The paper cut prevention control means for preventing the paper cut, the paper cut forced execution declaration means for declaring that the paper cut is forcibly executed, and either the inspection mode or the settlement mode is selected and the paper cut is forcibly executed. Paper that releases the paper cut prevention control on condition that it is declared and drives the cutter to cut the paper after printing is completed. And control cutoff execution control means, characterized in that the provided.

[0009]

In the present invention having the above-described structure, when the target content is printed on the continuous paper in the inspection mode or the settlement mode, the paper cut prevention control means prevents the paper cut even after the printing is completed. Therefore, the end of the sheet remains locked to the printer, so that it does not become dirty, damaged, or lost due to dropping after cutting. When the paper cut forced execution declaration means is used to make the declaration, the paper forced cut control means operates to release the paper cut prevention and control the continuous paper cut. Therefore, a clean report can be obtained.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The product sales registration data processing device has a basic structure composed of a general electronic cash register 10 shown in FIG. 1, and has paper cut prevention control means (11, 12).
Also, a paper cut forced execution declaration means (20B) and a paper forced cut execution control means (11, 12) are provided, and the paper is not issued automatically after the printing is completed in the inspection mode and the settlement mode. It is configured to cut the paper for the first time when there is a specific action (declaration of execution).

In FIG. 1, an electronic cash register 1
Reference numeral 0 denotes a printer connected via a CPU 11, a ROM 12, a RAM 13, a clock circuit 14, a scanner 19 (scanner circuit 15), a keyboard 20 (keyboard circuit 16), a display 21 (display control circuit 17), and an input / output port 18. 22 (printer drive circuit 24), a drawer 23 (drawer opening device 25), and the like, and a cutter 27 (cutter drive circuit 26) is disposed downstream of the printer 22 in the paper flow direction.

The mode changeover switch 20M shown in FIG.
With, you can switch to the "setting", "registration", "check", and "payment" modes. In the registration mode, a receipt (paper) on which the total amount of money is printed is issued at the end of the merchandise sales registration work. In the inspection mode and the settlement mode, a report (paper) on which the respective target contents are printed is printed / issued. Specifically, it is executed by the program of FIG.

In the product sales registration work in the registration mode, when the product code is entered using the scanner 19 or the keyboard 20, the CPU 11 retrieves the product data file 13F and reads the product data (product name, unit price, etc.). The setting is registered in the registration file 13R. When the subtotal key is pressed down after a series of input operations for the same customer, the total amount of money is calculated and stored in the total amount of money column of the storage area 13T shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. After that, by pressing the deposit / cash total key 20B, the total amount is added to the current total amount (ST12 in FIG. 3) and displayed on the display 21 (ST13). Further, the drawer 23 is opened. At the same time, the registered merchandise data and the total amount of money are printed on the journal paper and the receipt paper by the printer 22. To issue this receipt, cut the paper by driving the cutter 27 (26) after settlement including money transfer. (ST14). After that, the total amount is cleared (ST15).

Here, the paper cut prevention control means is subject to the target contents in the mode concerned, provided that either the inspection mode or the settlement mode is selected by the mode changeover switch 20M (YES in ST20 or YES in ST30). The CPU 11 and the ROM 12 are means for forcibly preventing the paper cut which is naturally performed after the completion of printing. Specifically, it will be described in relation to the following paper cut compulsory execution declaration means.

This paper cut compulsory execution declaring means makes a declaration that the blocked paper cutting operation is forcibly executed, and can be executed by providing a dedicated declaration key on the keyboard 20, for example. In this embodiment, the deposit / cash total key 20B is also used.

That is, in FIG. 3, when the deposit / cash total key 20B is turned on, ST21 to ST24 are executed when the inspection mode is selected (YES in ST20), but when ST21 is passed for the first time. The print end flag is not set yet. Therefore, the execution of the inspection mode is displayed (ST22), the drawer 23 is opened, and the target contents (amount by department stored in the storage area 13T in FIG. 2, the current total amount, etc.) Print it on the report (ST23). After the printing is completed, the printing completion flag is set (ST24).
In this embodiment, the buzzer is driven at this time. This is for notifying the cashier and the like of the sign of paper cut execution OK. When the above is completed, the process returns to the basic routine program. Even when the payment mode is selected (YES in ST30), in the above case (ST21 to 2)
Same as (4) (ST31 to 34).

When the inspection mode or the settlement mode is selected, if the deposit / cash total key 20B, that is, the paper cut forced execution declaring means is pressed again, the paper forced cut execution control means operates. That is, the paper forced cut execution control means releases the preceding paper cut prevention control on the condition that the paper cut forced execution declaration is made, and controls the paper cut, and is formed from the CPU 11 and the ROM 12. Therefore, when the deposit / cash total key 20B is pressed, a flag indicating that printing has been completed on the report (paper) by the original function of the inspection mode is set (YES in ST21, YES in ST31) The forced cut execution control means (11, 12) sends a signal to the cutter drive circuit 26 to drive the cutter 27 to cut continuous paper (ST25). In this case, the print end flag is cleared (ST26). The print end flag is RA
It is set in the work area of M13.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the paper cut prevention control means (11, 12), the paper cut forced execution declaration means (20B) and the paper forced cut execution control means (1
1) and 12) are provided, and when inspection mode or settlement mode is selected, automatic paper cutting is stopped after printing in those modes, and after that, there is a positive action such as cashier, that is, a forced paper cutting declaration. Since it is configured to cut continuous paper on the condition that it can be obtained even if it has a large print amount and takes a long time to print, it can be obtained without stains, damage, or loss, and at the same time other work can be performed during printing. You can do it with confidence.

Further, since the paper cut compulsory execution declaring means is formed so as to also function as the deposit / current total key 20B, it can be implemented without any special modification on the keyboard 20.

Further, since the buzzer sounds (ST24, 34) when the printing on the report (paper) is completed in the inspection mode and the settlement mode, the cashier and the like are forced to execute the cutting at an appropriate time thereafter. You can quickly and accurately know what you can do.
