Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial application field This invention is an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR).
In particular, the present invention relates to an improvement of ECR that allows setting whether or not to issue a receipt.

Summary of the invention This invention is an EC capable of printing receipts and journals.
In R, if settings have been made to restrict printing on receipts, the amount data of the registered products will be printed in the journal,
The amount data of the registered product is printed on the receipt in response to the cancellation of printing restrictions.

The conventional ECH has a built-in receipt printer and a journal printer for printing details of registered products and their total amount on receipt printing paper and journal printing paper. However, some stores only print journals for their own records, and do not issue unnecessary receipts in order to save receipt printing paper.

Therefore, some ECRs can be set to stop issuing receipts.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention In the ECR described above, settings have been made to stop issuing receipts, and when data about products purchased by the customer is being registered, the issue of receipts from the customer occurs. When required, the set values must be changed, which complicates the operator's operations and causes inconvenience.

Therefore, the main object of the present invention is to provide an ECR that can issue a receipt with a simple operation even when the registration process is performed with the stoppage of receipt issuing set.

Means for Solving the Problems The ECR of the present invention includes a data input means for inputting product amount data, a storage device for storing input product amount data, and a receipt for printing a receipt. a printing means, a journal printing means for journal printing, a receipt printing restriction setting means for making settings to restrict printing on receipts, a printing restriction canceling means for canceling the receipt printing restrictions, and a printing restriction canceling means for canceling the receipt printing restrictions; Print out the product price data stored in the storage means using a journal printer according to the settings,
and control means for printing the amount data of the product to be printed stored in the storage means on the receipt in response to the cancellation of the printing restriction.

Effect: In this invention, when printing restrictions are set, the journal printer can print out the amount data of the registered products, and when the printing restrictions are lifted, the amount data of the products can be printed on the receipt. If the operator requests the issuance of a receipt from the customer during the registration process, the operator can issue the receipt simply by operating the printing restriction release means.

This eliminates the need for complicated operations for the operator.
Customer service can also be improved.

Embodiment FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of an embodiment of the present invention.
3 is a key arrangement diagram of the keyboard 2 shown in FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing data stored in the RAM 7. As shown in FIG.

First, the configuration of an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4. The CPU 1 is provided with a CPU 1 as a control means.

This CPLll includes a keyboard 2, display 3, receipt printer 4, journal printer 5, ROM 6, and RA.
M7 is connected. As shown in FIG. 3, the keyboard 2 includes a mode changeover switch 21, a department key 22, a numeric keypad 23, and a function key 24. The mode changeover switch 21 is used to change over the setting mode, 111 power off (OFF>), registration 8 inspection, and payment mode.

The department key 22 is used to input department codes 1 to 15. Note that the ECR shown in this embodiment has a department key 22.
It has a so-called price lookup (PLU) function that reads and registers pre-stored product price data corresponding to the department code by operating one of the department codes. The numeric keypad 23 is used to input numerical data, and is operated, for example, when setting product price data in a price lookup table.

The function keys 24 include a subtotal key 241 and a deposit/cash total key 242. The subtotal key 241 is used to command the sum 81 calculation of the product amount data entered from the numeric keypad 23, and the deposit/cash total key 242 is used to command the total calculation and to process change when the customer pays cash. It is sometimes manipulated.

The display device 3 displays the product amount data input from the numeric keypad 23 and the cumulative amount data calculated by the CPLll. The receipt printer 4 prints the amount data and cumulative amount data of each product on receipt printing paper, and the journal printer 5 prints these data on journal printing paper. The ROM 6 stores in advance a program that will be explained later in FIG. 1A and FIG. 1B. The RAM 7 includes storage areas 71 to 80, as shown in FIG. The storage area 71 is used as a buffer for storing amount data. This amount data storage buffer 71 stores amount data read from a PLLJ file 80, which will be described later. The storage area 72 is used as a payment chain buffer and cumulatively stores amount data of registered products.

The storage area 73 is used as an area for storing a receipt issue restriction flag. If this receipt issue restriction flag is set, receipt printing by the receipt printer 4 is restricted, and only journal printing by the journal printer 5 is performed. When the receipt issue restriction flag is reset, receipt printing by the receipt printer 4 and journal printing by the journal printer 5 are performed. Storage area 74 is used as a print item counter. This printing item counter 74 counts the number of data related to products stored in the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing.

Storage area 75 is used as a payment amount buffer. This payment amount buffer 75 stores the total amount to be paid by the customer calculated by the aforementioned payment chain extraction buffer 772. A receipt print flag is set in the storage area 76. This receipt print flag is set when the issuance of a register is restricted and the payment amount is printed on journal print paper. A registered item print flag is set in the storage area 77. This registered item printing flag is set if the issuance of receipts is restricted and the receipt printing registration data buffer 79 stores data regarding the number of products that is less than or equal to a predetermined limit value, and is set if the number of products that exceeds the limit value is stored in the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing. Reset when data related to the product is stored.

A deposit/account key flag is set in the storage area 78. This deposit/account key flag is set when the deposit/account key 242 is operated.

The registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing stores the data to be printed on the receipt when the customer requests the printing of the receipt when the printing of the receipt is restricted and the data is printed only on journal printing paper. It is something to do. This registration data buffer 79 for printing the receipt
For example, the number of data related to the product that should be registered is 1.
There is a limit of 6 items, and if the limit is within the limit, all data will be printed on the receipt, but if the limit is exceeded, only the total amount stored in the payment amount buffer 75 will be printed on the receipt. It will be printed.

The storage area 80 is a PLU file, and stores in advance the department code of each product, its name, and its price data.

1A and 1B are flowcharts for explaining the specific operation of one embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.
It is a diagram showing the key operation procedure of R, in particular, FIG. 5(a)
Figure 5(b) shows the key manual steps during the registration process.
) is a diagram showing the key operation procedure when a customer requests issuance of a receipt during the registration process, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a receipt. In particular, FIG.
6(b) shows an example in which data regarding each product is printed on a receipt when the number of products registered in the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing is within the limit value, and FIG. 6(b) shows the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example in which only the total price is printed when the products registered in 1 exceed the limit value.

Next, with reference to FIGS. 18 to 6, the specific operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, the operator switches the mode changeover switch 21 to the setting mode. When restricting receipt issuance, the user inputs the numerical value "1" from the numeric keypad 23 and operates the subtotal key 241, for example. CPtJl has been switched to the setting mode, and when it determines that a numerical value has been entered from the numeric keypad 23 and that the subtotal key 241 has been operated, the RAM
A receipt issue III limit flag is set in the storage area 73 of No. 7.

When canceling the receipt issuing restriction, that is, when issuing a receipt, the user inputs the numerical value "0" using the numeric keypad 23 and operates the subtotal key 241. As a result, the receipt issue restriction flag set in the storage area 73 is reset.

Next, the operator switches to the registration mode using the mode changeover switch 21. Then, the operator
Register data related to the product according to the key operation procedure shown in a). That is, the customer looks at the product purchased by the customer and inputs the department code of the product using the department key 22. C.P.
U1 determines whether or not there is any key force, and if it is determined that there is key force, it is determined whether or not the department key 22 has been operated. When it is determined that the department key 22 has been operated, the department code corresponding to the department key and the amount data of the product are read from the PLU file 80, and the amount data is stored in the amount data storage buffer 771. Then, the CPU 1 displays the item and price data of the product on the display 3.

Next, the CPU 1 determines whether a receipt issue restriction flag is set in the storage area 73.

If it is not set, the item and amount data of the product are printed on the receipt printing paper by the receipt printer 4, and are also printed on the journal printing paper by the journal printer 5. If the receipt issue restriction flag is set, the print item counter 74
progress. Then, it is determined whether the count value of the print item counter 74 exceeds the number that can be registered in the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing. If the limit has not been exceeded, the item and amount data of the product are stored in the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing. Then, the journal printer 5 prints out the item and amount data of the product. Furthermore, the CPU 1 has a buffer 71 for storing amount data.
The amount data of the item stored in is stored in the payment chain output buffer 772, and the receipt print flag in the storage area 76 and the deposit/cash key flag in the storage area 78 are reset.

Data regarding one product is registered through the series of operations described above. In other words, when a department code is input from the department key 22, the item and amount data of the product is sent to the receipt printer 4 if the issuance of receipts is not restricted.
The journal printer 5 prints on the receipt printing paper and the journal printing paper, respectively. However, if the issuance of receipts is restricted, the receipt printer 4 does not print, and only the journal printer 5 prints. At this time, when the customer later requests issuance of a receipt, data related to the product must be printed by the receipt printer 4, so the item and amount data of the product are registered in the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing. Ru.

The operator registers all products purchased by the customer by performing the above-described series of operations. After completing the registration of all products, the deposit/total key 242 is operated. CPU1 is the deposit/present key 242
When it is determined that the operation has been performed, the payment amount buffer 75
Display the total amount data stored in &t3, and
The process advances to the print processing routine shown in Figure B.

In the print processing routine, it is determined whether or not the deposit/cash key flag is set in the storage area 78. In this state, since the deposit/cash key flag is not set, it is determined whether or not the receipt issue restriction flag is set in the storage area 73. If the receipt issue restriction flag is not set, the total amount data is printed on the receipt printing paper by the receipt printer 4, and the total amount data is printed on the journal printing paper by the journal printer 5. If the receipt issue restriction flag is set, the journal printer 5
Then, one amount of data is printed on the journal printing paper. Furthermore, the CPU 1 has a payment chain extraction buffer 7.
2 is stored in the payment nod buffer 75. Then, it is determined whether the count value of the print item counter 74 exceeds the limit value. If it does not exceed the registered item print flag in the storage area 77, then the receipt print flag is set in the storage area 76. If the count value of the printing item counter 74 exceeds the limit value, the receipt printing flag is set without setting the registered item printing flag, the deposit/current total key flag is set in the memory area 11E78, and the first A Return to the main routine shown in the figure. And payment chain extraction buffer 72
Then, the contents of the printed item counter 74 are reset to return to the initial state.

That is, when the customer completes the registration of data regarding all the purchased products and operates the deposit/account key 242, if the issuance of receipts is restricted, only the journal printout of the total price data is performed, and then the receipt printout is performed. do not have.

During the above registration process, when the customer requests issuance of a receipt, the operator operates the sort/current total key 242 again according to the key operation procedure shown in FIG. 5(b). When CPU 1 determines that deposit/cash key 242 is being operated, CPU 1 determines whether a receipt print flag is set in storage area 76 or not. When it is determined that the receipt print flag is set, storage area 7
It is determined whether the registered item printing flag is set in 7. When the registered item printing flag is set, data related to the number of products within the limit value is registered in the receipt printing registration data buffer 79, so the receipt printing registration data buffer 79 is registered. 79 and prints the data on all the products registered in the receipt printer 4.
For example, printing is performed on the receipt printing paper in the manner shown in FIG. 6(a). However, when the registered item printing flag is not set, data related to the product is registered in all areas of the registration data buffer 79 for receipt printing, so the payment amount buffer 75 is Only the total amount data stored in is printed on the receipt printing paper by the receipt printer 4. Then, the CPU 1 resets the receipt print flag in the storage area 76 and the registered item print flag in the storage area 77, thereby ending the series of operations.

Effects of the Invention As described above, according to the present invention, when receipt printing is restricted, the amount data of the product to be printed stored in the storage means is given to the journal printer to print it, and the printing restriction release means When the printing restriction is lifted, the product amount data stored in the storage device is printed on the receipt printing paper by the receipt printing device, so that the customer requests a receipt during the registration process. When this occurs, the receipt can be printed simply by operating the printing restriction release means, and the operator does not need to perform complicated operations, improving operability and improving customer service.
