Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention utilizes an input operation section such as an electronic scale, a label printer, etc., to transfer necessary data regarding the product to a central processing unit (CPU).
) The present invention relates to an improvement in a storage device that inputs and stores data into a memory via a memory device.

Conventionally, storage devices such as weighing label printers have a preset key, a number key (numeric keypad), and a command key (
The device has function keys (function keys), etc., and by pressing these keys, necessary data such as product unit price, code number, product name, etc. is stored in the memory built into or connected to the device via the central processing unit (CPU).Data setting work is performed. It is something.

However, when there are many products to be handled or a large amount of data to be input, keystroke operations require a lot of effort, resulting in low data setting efficiency and the risk of erroneous data input due to keystroke errors.

In order to eliminate such problems, the present invention aims to improve the workability and accuracy of data setting work by using a data transfer method that does not rely on keystroke operations.

Another object of the present invention is to output and retain data stored in the memory of a storage device in an external memory so that it can be used in other models, thereby improving its usability.

If the embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to the drawings, the first invention of the present invention can be included in the description of the second invention, so for convenience of explanation, the second invention will be described.

Figure 1 is a block diagram of a weighing label printer.The central processing unit (CPu) includes an input operation section (g), a weighing section ψ),
The printing part (0) and the display part (D) are connected, and a memory (b) is built-in or connected thereto, and a cassette tape memory (
It is constructed by detachably connecting OMT).

This weighing label printer inputs necessary data for each product, such as unit price,
Enter the code number, product name code number, processing date, barcode number, tare weight, department code number, PLU number, date, etc. and store them in the memory (B).
Note the above when weighing the product! J (M) reads the corresponding data and displays it on the print section (0) and display section (D
) and the printing unit (0) issues a label with the necessary data printed on it.

The input operation section (g) is illustrated in FIG.
function keys (C), etc., and these keys (a
b) Enter and store the required data of the product into the memory of the central processing unit (CPU) by the keystroke operation in (c).

This input operation section (A) is connected to the keys, for example, the numeric key (b).
), the memory (B) can be accessed by pressing the command key (C).
A command signal (Pl) that operates data input/output between the memory (OMT), that is, inputs data from the memory (OMT) to the memory (B), and from the memory (B) to the memory (CMT).
) to output the command signal (P2) to the central processing unit (Cp
u) and both memories ◇0 (OM
A command signal (P3) for comparing both data between T) is output to the central processing unit (Cpu).

The cassette tape memory (omT) is a rewritable cassette tape recorder that stores the necessary data for each product as described above, as well as the stamping format, customer-specific, daily-by-day aggregation format, and automatic label detection data. I'll do what I do.

Data can be input into the cassette tape memory (OMT) by either outputting the data from the memory (b) using this device or inputting the required data in advance using another input device, as described later. Optional.

An example of how the input operation unit (4) inputs and outputs data to memory 0 is as follows: ■ A cassette tape memory (OM) in which data is stored in advance
T) When inputting the data into the memory (b) of the weighing label printer.

Connect the cassette tape memory (aMT) to the interface (
E) and press R of the command key (C) of the input operation section (A).
Without pressing the key (reset key), press "0", "1", and "1" in sequence using the numeric key (b). This causes the command signal (P,) to be output to the central processing unit (Cpu). interface (
Input to memory (b) via E).

At this time, the display section (D) displays r---J, and when the data input to the memory stop is completed, it displays zero.

Therefore, the input operation section (
1,) It is not necessary to perform keystroke operations for each data.

■ When outputting data stored in the weighing label printer's memory to the cassette tape memory (OMT).

Cassette tape memory (OMT) stores no data or stores data that can be deleted.
) to the cassette interface 0), press the R key of the command key (b) of the input operation unit (4), and then input "2" in sequence using the numeric key (b).
This causes a multi-command signal (P2) to be sent to the central processing unit (Cpu).
The stored data in the cassette tape memory (OMT) is outputted to the cassette tape memory (OMT) via the interface (E) and stored in the memory (OMT).

The display on the display section (D) is the same as in the case of (2) above.

Therefore, it is possible to transfer the above-mentioned power cent tape memory (anT) to another weighing label printer and input the data by performing the operation described in (2) above, or even if the same label printer is used, the data can be stored in the memory at the end of the day.) It is possible to transfer the data from the cassette tape memory (oMr) to the cassette tape memory (OMT) and input data from the cassette tape memory (oMr) to the memory (b) on the next day.

■ When comparing data after completing data input/output between memories (B) and (CMT).

After completing the data input/output using the above ■ or ■, press the command key (C) OR key, and then press the numeric key (b).
OJ rlJ r8J are sequentially set, and a command signal (P, ) is outputted to the central processing unit (Cpu), and both data are compared within the CPU.

At this time, the display section (I) displays r---LJ, and when the data comparison is completed, a display is made so that it can be confirmed whether the two data match or do not match, for example, when the two data match, a zero is displayed, If there is a discrepancy, please refer to the above indication r---J
This may be left as is, or rxRnoRJ may be displayed.

It should be noted that the output method of the command signal (P,) (P,) (P3) may optionally be by using other command keys or switches and set values of the input operation section (A).

The present invention uses a cassette tape memory (awT) that can store necessary data in advance as in the first invention described above, and inputs the data to the memory (b) via the central processing unit, so that each data for each of many products is input. This eliminates the need to input data into the memory (b) by keystrokes on the operation panel, improving the workability of data setting compared to conventional methods, and improving data setting accuracy by eliminating data input errors caused by keystroke errors. Furthermore, one cassette tape memory can be used for other devices.

In addition to the above-mentioned input method as in the second invention, the memory (c)
Since the data to be stored in the cassette tape memory (anT) is also output to the cassette tape memory (anT) and stored in the memory (OMT), it is possible to store the same data by using the input operation section and setting the data multiple times. It is possible to duplicate multiple cassette tape memories, and even if the data in the memory (b) is erased when the power is turned off, the data can be transferred back to the cassette tape memory (aMy).
can be input easily and accurately.

Therefore, the intended purpose can be achieved.
