Moreover, report data is cleared after the completion of the printing output.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a product sales registration data processing device capable of printing out inspection reports and settlement reports.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For example, an electronic cash register type product sales registration data processing apparatus includes a CPU, a ROM and an RA
M, clock circuit, data input means (scanner, keyboard), display, printer, drawer, etc., for example, by switching to “setting”, “registration”, “inspection”, “payment” mode Can perform various tasks. The sales registration process in the registration mode is performed as follows. The cashier inputs the product code of the customer-purchased product using a scanner or keyboard. Then CP
U searches the product data file (RAM), reads the product data (product name, unit price, etc.) corresponding to the product code, and registers the product in the registration file (RAM). At the same time, the contents are displayed on the display and printed on receipt paper and journal paper. 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 and the like are obtained, and these are also printed on the receipt paper. After that, by pressing the deposit / cash total key, the change or the like is calculated, and the accounting including the transfer of money is performed using the opened drawer. At this time, a receipt is issued.

In addition, the inspection mode (YE of ST40 in FIG. 4)
In S), the total sales amount and points accumulated in the registration file by the sales registration process are created and stored as inspection report data (ST41), and printed out in a report format by the printer (ST45, 4).
8). Further, in the settlement operation performed as the settlement mode (YES in ST42), for example, at the end of the one-day operation, the total sales amount and points accumulated in the registration file are created and stored as the settlement report data (ST4).
3) Then, the printer prints out in a report format (ST45, 48), and the stored contents of the registration file are automatically cleared (ST44). Therefore, for example, the preparation for starting work on the next day can be established. Note that the report data will be output after printing is completed (YES in ST48).
Is automatically cleared (ST49).

[0004]

By the way, if the inspection report, especially the settlement report is compared with the receipt,
Since the amount of print information is large, the print output time is considerably long. Therefore, it must be said that there are many opportunities to encounter troubles such as paper jams and paper shortages in the printer. Therefore, when the cancel key is pressed (YES in ST46), report printing is stopped (ST4
7), and the printer is formed so as to protect it from trouble and damage. However, with this method, in the case of a checkout report, in the case of a checkout report, the stored contents of the registration file are automatically cleared (ST44) for that purpose, so that the checkout report cannot be printed out again. Occurs. That is, even if the trouble is solved by, for example, replenishing the paper, it becomes impossible to issue the completed settlement report, which cannot be a drastic measure.

An object of the present invention is to provide a merchandise sales registration data processing device capable of easily suspending and restarting print output for issuing a report.

[0006]

A commodity sales registration data processing device according to the present invention is formed so that an inspection report and a settlement report can be printed out while driving a printer using sales registration data stored in a registration file. In the product sales registration data processing device, the report is made on condition that the suspension request declaration means for declaring the suspension request, the restart request declaration means for declaring the restart request, and the suspension request declaration are made. Print output temporary stop control means for forcibly stopping print output, report data storage holding means for storing and holding the report data even during print output temporary stop, and report printing on condition that a restart request is declared A print output restart control means for restarting output.

[0007]

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when a trouble such as a paper jam occurs in the printer, the temporary stop request declaration means is used to declare the temporary stop request. Then, the print output temporary stop control means stops the printer and forcibly stops the print output. In this case, the report data storage / holding means stores and holds the report data. After the printer trouble is resolved, the restart request declaration means is used to declare a restart request, and the print output restart control means restarts the printer to continue printing the report. The report data is cleared after the print output is completed.

Therefore, the completed report can be surely printed out even in the settlement mode in which the sales registration data is automatically cleared after the report data is created / stored, and in any mode, the report creation is optional depending on appropriate circumstances. Wide applicability because it can be paused and restarted.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the product sales registration data processing device has a basic structure of an electronic cash register 10,
Further, the temporary stop request declaring means (20STP), the restart request declaring means (20RST), the print output temporary stop controlling means (11, 12), and the report data storage holding means (1
1, 12) and print output restart request declaring means (11, 12)
12) is provided so that the printout of the inspection report and the settlement report can be temporarily stopped and restarted.

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), etc. are formed, and by switching to any of "setting", "registration", "inspection", and "accounting" by the mode changeover switch 5, The business process can be executed.

In the "registration" mode, sales registration processing can be performed as in the case of the conventional example. Sales registration data is RA
It is stored in the registration file 13R formed with a partial storage area of M13. Check report printout in "check" mode, checkout report printout in "checkout" mode, and sales registration data are automatically cleared (S in Fig. 3
T31) is also the same as the case of the conventional example (ST49 in FIG. 4).

Created in this embodiment (ST21, 23 in FIG. 3)
The generated report data is stored in the buffer 13RP formed with a partial storage area of the RAM 13 of FIG. The buffer 13RP is also formed so that the memory address storing the final report data (print data) at the time of stopping the print output is also saved. This is because it is possible to restart from the next print data.

In the case of this embodiment, the keyboard 20
Depress (ON) the upper stop key 20CL (ST2)
Report printing is stopped by (YES of 7) (ST2
8) and clear the report data stored in the buffer 13RP (ST31) (ST46 in FIG. 4,
47, 49), the same print output stop function is provided, but this function may be omitted. However, if this print output stop function is provided, it is possible to perform an operation in which the print output of the inspection report is mainly stopped midway and not restarted.

Now, the temporary stop request declaring means is made up of the temporary stop key 20STP on the keyboard 20 shown in FIG. 1, and makes a request declaration for temporarily stopping the printout of the report. That is, if the CPU 11 has a key input (YES in ST10 of FIG. 2) and it is the pause key (YES in ST11), the pause request flag is set in the flag memory 13F formed in the partial storage area of the RAM 13. Set [ON ("1")] (ST12).

Further, the restart request declaring means is formed from the restart key 20RST on the keyboard 20,
This is a declaration to restart the suspended print output. Therefore, if there is a restart request declaration (YES in ST13 of FIG. 2), the CPU 11 resets [OFF ("0")] the temporary stop request flag that has been set ("1") in the flag memory 13F (ST14). ).
The restart key 20RST is also used as the temporary stop key 20STP.
It may be formed such that the restart request is declared when P is pressed for the second time.

Next, the print output temporary stop control means must make a temporary stop request declaration (YE in ST25 of FIG. 3).
Under the condition of S), the printer 22 is stopped to forcibly stop the printout of the report, and
It is formed of the PU 11 and the ROM 12, and is executed in ST26 of FIG.

That is, the CPU 11 turns on the flag while monitoring the flag memory 13F during report printing output.
If it is (“1”) (YES in ST25),
Stop the printer. At this time, the final print data address at the time of stop is saved in the buffer 13RP.

The report data storage / holding means is means for storing / holding the report data stored in the buffer 13RP as it is even during the temporary stop.
11 and ROM 12. In particular,
It functions to prohibit the execution of the clear function shown in ST31 of FIG.

The print output restart control means is the CPU 1.
1 and the ROM 12, the report printout is restarted on condition that the restart request is declared. That is, the suspension request flag is OFF
Under the condition that it is (“0”) (NO in ST25), report printing output is restarted (ST29). The print data of the address next to the final print data address saved in the buffer 13RP is restarted.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described. When the inspection mode (YES in ST20 of FIG. 3) is set, inspection report data is created from the registration data stored in the registration file 13R and stored in the buffer 13RP (ST2.
0). Similarly, also in the payment mode (YES in ST22), the payment report data is created and stored in the buffer 13RP (ST23), and in this payment mode, sales registration data (registration file 13R) from that effect.
Are automatically cleared (ST24).

In any case, the printer 22 is drive-controlled and the report is printed out (ST29). If a trouble such as a paper jam occurs in the printer 22 during this printout, a pause request declaring means (20STP)
Is used to declare a pause request (Y in ST10 of FIG. 2).
ES, ST11 YES). This declaration is set (ON "1") in the flag memory 13F (ST1).
2).

Then, the print output temporary stop control means (1
1, 12) work, and the pause request flag is ON
Under the condition that it is (“1”) (YES in ST25 of FIG. 3), the printer 22 is stopped and the print output of the report is temporarily stopped (ST26). At this time, the report data storage / holding means (11, 12) uses the buffer 13
The report data in the RP is stored and retained as it is.

After the trouble such as paper jam is solved, the operator declares the restart request using the restart request declaration means (20RST) (YES in ST13 of FIG. 2).
As a result, the suspension request flag in the flag memory 13F is reset (OFF "0") (ST14).

Thus, the print output restart control means (11, 12) turns off the temporary stop request flag.
("0") is set as a condition (N in ST25 of FIG. 3).
In (O), the printer 22 is restarted to restart the print output (ST29).

According to this embodiment, however, the temporary stop request declaring means (20STP), the restart request declaring means (20RST) and the print output temporary stop control means (11, 1).
2), report data storage and holding means (11, 12) and print output restart request declaring means (11, 12) are provided so that the print output of the inspection report and the settlement report can be temporarily stopped and restarted. Therefore, it is possible to immediately take measures to solve the trouble of the printer 22, and it is possible to surely print out the settlement report and the like even after the sales registration data in the settlement mode is automatically cleared.

Further, since the inspection report can be paused and restarted at any time during the printing of the inspection report, the inspection report can be issued between other processes. In other words, other processing can be interrupted while the inspection report is being issued.

Further, since the same print output canceling function as the conventional example is also provided, the inspection report can be issued halfway,
After that, the system can be operated without restarting, further expanding the applicability.
