Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) The present invention revises selling prices and weights of weighed products,
The present invention relates to a measuring device that can print out the revision method.

(Conventional technology) Stores, etc. have set up service hours.

During that time period, the lowest digit of the regular sales price will be rounded.

For example, a product that costs 273 yen may be sold at a discounted price of 270 yen.

JP-A No. 55-24681 (hereinafter referred to as the known example)
There are electronic scales that make such revisions to the sales price and print it on a label.

(Problems with the Prior Art) In the known example described above, only one revision section is provided in one electronic scale, and therefore only one type of revision can be made. That is, in electronic scales that have a revision unit that cuts off the smallest digit of a price, a switch is used to select whether to revise or not to revise, but only one type of revision method, truncating the smallest digit, is possible.

On the other hand, stores etc. are on a sales track.

There is a demand for changing the price discount rate depending on the type of product, sales time, customer, etc., but the above-mentioned publicly known example could not meet such a request.1 For example, for product A, the price Product B sold at 5% discount is 10
% discount, product C is sold at 15% discount,
There may be a demand for all products to be sold at a 20% discount 30 minutes before closing.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned known example, the price before the discount and the discounted price are printed on the label, and the difference is printed on the label, but it is not possible to print what kind of discount S (price revision) has been made. Ta.

On the other hand, when selling at 5% discount, 5% discount is printed on the label, and when selling at 10% discount, 1% discount is printed on the label.
0% discount is printed on the label, and when selling at 15% discount, 15% discount is printed on the label.
The above-mentioned known example could not meet the request to print on the label what kind of discount (price revision) has been made. In addition to revising the sales price and weight in multiple ways and printing them on labels and receipts, the revision method (e.g., "5% discount,""rounded down to the nearest 1 yen") is also included. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a measuring device that can print information using the following methods.

(Summary of the invention) The weighing device of the present invention can be used for weight or price.

A key input section for specifying one of multiple types of revision methods, data for revising the weight or price by the method specified by the key input section and printing the revised value, and the specified revision. The present invention is characterized by comprising: a calculation control unit that outputs data for printing characters or the like to indicate the method; and a printer that prints revised values and the revised method based on the data output from the calculation control unit. It is something to do.

This weighing device is configured by using a single electronic scale or by connecting multiple electronic scales through a communication line, and furthermore, by connecting one registration and totaling machine and multiple electronic scales through a communication line. It consists of:

), Next, the net weight and price are converted into a single character pattern by reading the corresponding character pattern from the character pattern memory and stored in the corresponding area of the print memory (step 5).
xs), then check whether the discount number is stored (step 517), and if it is, check what discount number is stored (step S1).

(6) If the discount number you remember is number 1, price x
O, 95 - discount price, is calculated, converted into a character pattern, and stored in the discount price printing area of the print memory (
Step 5ts).

If the discount number you remember is number 2, 1 price x 0.9
- Calculate the discount price, convert it into a character pattern, and store it in the discount price printing area of the print memory (step 520) - If the discount number is 3, the discount price is rounded down to the nearest 10 yen. , convert it into a character pattern, and store it in the discount price printing area of the print memory (step 521) From 11 onwards, similarly process the discount price, etc. in accordance with the discount number (7) Turn on the print switch Step 522), the contents of the printing memory (product name, discount display, unit price, weight, discount price, etc.) are printed on the label (
step Szg).

FIG. 5 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of printing on a receipt using a thermal dot printer for receipts.
In (a) of the diagram, a product costing 380 yen is discounted by 5% to 361 yen.
Figure (b) shows an example of rounding a 793 yen product by 5 yen to make it 790 yen.Figure 0 (C) shows a total of 2,518 yen rounded to 2,515 yen. This is an example.

FIG. 6 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a label printed each time each product is weighed. In this case, after finally weighing the four products and printing the labels, a total label is printed.

FIG. 7 is a block diagram of an example in which a plurality of electronic scales are used by connecting each electronic scale with a communication line.

Each electronic scale has a registration memory for product data, and for example, product data registered in the electronic scale 2 can be called up and used. That is, in this case, the product data registered in each electronic scale can be used mutually.

FIG. 8 is a block diagram of an example in which a plurality of electronic scales and one registration and totalization machine are connected via a communication line. In this case, the registration and aggregation machine performs aggregation by category (e.g., beef, pork, chicken, etc.), and by time period.
Each electronic scale does not store product data, but all product data is registered in the registration and aggregation machine, and the registered data is called up from each electronic scale via a communication line.For example, electronic scale 2 Enter the product's call number, register the registration data corresponding to the call number, call it from the totaling machine, and perform processing such as weighing and label printing.

Register aggregate data such as prices and send it back to the aggregate machine.

Although the above explanation is a process for revising two prices, it is also possible to similarly revise weight in addition to price.

In this case, the revision numbers 1, 2゜3.4, etc. are 5% weight off, 10% weight off, rounded down to the nearest 1g, and 5g.
Corresponding processing such as rounding etc. is performed.

(Effects of the Invention) As explained above, the weighing device of the present invention makes multiple revisions of the rR selling price and weight, and prints these on labels and receipts, as well as the method of revision. Since it is printed, it is possible to improve the service to customers.
