A reprint key 43 for instructing reissue when a transaction processing slip is not issued because the transaction processing slip is not set in the printer or a paper jam occurs in the printer.
b is provided.

31/(a) and (b) are diagrams showing a specific configuration of the memory 15. FIG. Figure (a) is a program ROM,
The system program is stored therein.

On the other hand, (b) in the same figure is a RAM, which includes a data table 51 that stores the telephone number of the data processing center 2o, the code number of the affiliated store, tanking data for offline processing at the time of low-value sales, etc. , a work memory 52 for temporarily storing data retrieved from the data table as necessary, a transmission buffer 53 for storing credit transaction processing information given by the card processing section 13 or the keyboard 14, and the data processing center. 2
It consists of a reception buffer 54 for storing data received from 0, a print buffer 55 for storing data to be printed by the printer 17, and the like.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing the contents of the print buffer 55. In the figure, 61 is a pre-printing area in which part of the information in the transmission buffer 53 is stored.

Last time, printing type 11ii! The information stored in 61 is information that does not require data communication from the terminal device 10 to the data processing center 20, such as the card issuing company name, membership number, handling date, expiration date, and slip number.

Transaction details (sales, credit, cancellations, returns, etc.). By doing so, it is possible to improve the efficiency of data communication to the data processing center 20. Reference numeral 62 is an area for storing all data received by the reception buffer, such as the sales amount and the total amount including miscellaneous expenses. Reference numeral 63 is an area for storing predetermined data from the data table 51, such as the name of a member store.

The data stored in the print buffer 55 is printed out in a predetermined format by the printer 17, and a transaction processing slip as shown in FIG. 5 is issued.

By the way, the print buffer 55 and the transmission buffer 53. Receiving buffer? The stored contents of 54 will not be deleted unless the business key 41 of the keyboard 14 is turned on. Therefore, if a transaction processing slip is not issued due to a paper jam in the printer 17, etc., when the reprint key 43b of the keyboard 17 is turned on, the transaction processing slip will be printed based on the contents stored in the print buffer 55. will be reissued.

Next, the operation of this apparatus will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 6 and 7. When executing margin transaction processing, first, as shown in Figure 6,
Turn on the business key 41 of the keyboard 14 according to the transaction details (sales, credit, cancellation, return, etc.) (step (
(hereinafter abbreviated as ST)1). Then, the transmission buffer 53 of the memory 15. The information stored in the reception buffer 54 and print buffer 55 is erased (Sr
2). Next, the user inputs the information recorded on the card by passing the card to the card processing unit 13, and also inputs information such as the card's password, product name, amount, etc. using the keyboard 14 (Sr3). These input credit transaction processing information are stored in the transmission buffer 53 of the memory 15 (Sr4). In this state, the transmission key 43a of the keyboard 14 is turned on (Sr5). At this time, "+1" is added to the slip number of the transaction processing slip. Then, the telephone number of the data processing center 20 stored in the data table 51 is called and set in the work memory 52 (Sr1), and a line is automatically connected to the data processing center 20 (Sr7). As a result, after confirming the response from the data processing center 20, the transmission buffer 5
The stored contents of No. 3 are transmitted to the data processing center 20 (Sr8).

Next, the data processed by the data processing center 20 is received and stored in the reception buffer 54 (Sr9
). The received data stored in this reception buffer is stored in the print buffer 55 (ST10). At this time, the print buffer 55 includes the send buffer 5.
Data for pre-printing is stored from 3, and predetermined data is also stored from data table 51. Thus, a transaction processing slip is created and issued by the printer 17 based on the data stored in the print buffer (ST11). When the issuance of the transaction processing slip is completed, the device returns to the initial state and the credit transaction processing is completed.

On the other hand, a predetermined transaction processing slip may not be issued due to no slip paper being set in the printer 17 or a paper jam in the printer 17. In this case, as shown in FIG.
3b is turned ON (ST12). Then, it is determined whether or not data is stored in the print buffer 55 (ST13), and if so, the transaction processing slip is reissued based on the data (ST14).
. If no data is stored in the print buffer, the operator is notified of this by displaying an image on the display 16 or by means of an alarm or the like (ST15).

In this way, according to the present device, it becomes possible to reissue transaction processing slips, which was previously impossible. However, if a transaction processing slip is not issued due to a paper jam in the printer 17, etc., it is no longer necessary to perform complicated operations such as handwritten slip processing, thereby improving work efficiency.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments.

For example, in the above embodiment, a case is shown in which a slip similar to a transaction processing slip that should normally be issued is issued, but a message indicating reissuance, such as rREPRINTJ, is placed in a predetermined position of the slip (for example, near the card issuing company name). etc. may be printed. By doing this,
Unauthorized use using the reissue function can be prevented.

Further, in the embodiment described above, in order to improve the efficiency of data communication, a pre-printing area 61 is provided in the printer buffer 55, and data that does not need to be sent to the data processing center 20 is directly stored in this area 61 from the sending buffer 53. However, all the data stored in the sending buffer 63 is sent to the data processing center 20 without providing the printing area 61, and the received data is sent from the receiving buffer 54 to the printing area 61. It may also be stored in the buffer 55 and printed out. Furthermore, in the embodiment described above, a case has been described in which online processing is performed in which data communication is performed with the data processing center 20 every time credit transaction processing information is input. Of course, it can also be applied as Further, in the embodiment, when the reprint key 43b is turned on, the print buffer 55
In the case where no data is stored, the operator is notified by some notification means, but this notification means may be omitted. It goes without saying that various other modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As detailed above, according to the present invention, credit transaction processing information is input, the input credit transaction processing information is transmitted to a data processing center by a transmitting means, and the data processed by the data processing center is transmitted. The data is received by the receiving means, the received data is stored in the memory, the issuing means issues a transaction processing slip based on the stored data, and if the issuing means does not operate, the transaction processing slip is reissued. Since the issuance is commanded by the command means and the transaction processing slip is reissued in accordance with the command means, the transaction processing slip can be reissued and the transaction processing can improve the workability of credit transaction processing.
