Description

Detailed Description of the Invention +8) Technical Field The present invention relates to an electronic cash register (hereinafter referred to as ECR), and particularly relates to an improvement in a PLO data identification method.

fb) Prior art and its drawbacks When the ECR outputs a PLLI data report, it is necessary to input the code of the PLU data to output the report. Previously, the code was entered using the numeric keypad attached to the ECR, but with the normal PLU code, 1
Having to enter 2 to 13 digits is time-consuming, and
The drawback was that input errors were likely to occur. In addition, for barcode labels with prices (in-store markings, etc.), the PLO code cannot be understood unless the code is expanded, so it takes more time to compile reports and the like.

(C1 Purpose of the Invention In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, this invention allows the barcode league (input device such as a scanner, OCR, etc.) attached to the ECR to read the barcode of the PLO data to be output as a report, thereby outputting the PLU data as a report. The purpose is to provide ECR that can be used.

(d1) Structure of the Invention The present invention is characterized in that it includes means for directly taking in a barcode input from the input device as a PLtJ code of PLU data to be output as a report when outputting a report of PLU data.

(e) Embodiment FIG. 2 is a schematic external view of an ECR that is an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram of the control section of the above embodiment. The ECR of this embodiment includes a CPU 1, a ROM 2 that stores programs connected to this CPU, and a plurality of PLUs.
RAM3 including PLU memory (area MA) where data is stored. Display device 4 that displays the registration amount, etc. at the time of registration, etc.
．． A printer 5 that prints registration details on a receipt at the time of registration, a keyboard 6, and a scanner 7 that reads barcodes.
It consists of

FIG. 4 is a layout diagram of the keyboard 6. 60 is a mode key, which can be switched to any one of the program mode, registration mode 1 inspection mode, and payment mode. Reference numeral 61 denotes department keys, each of which is assigned in correspondence with a product. 62 inputs the amount, PLU code, etc. using the numeric keypad. 63 is a function key.

The function keys 63 include a barcode reading key 63a, which will be described later.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing the operation of the above embodiment in the report output mode. When the report output mode is entered, step nl (hereinafter, step ni is simply referred to as n
Call it i. ), it is determined whether the barcode reading key 63a has been pressed, and if it has been pressed, the PLU code is input from the scanner 7 at n2. This input can be made by scanning the barcode label on which the PLU code you wish to report is recorded. If the barcode reading key 63a is not pressed, the PLU code is input from the numeric keypad 62 (n3). If a PLU code is input at n2 or n3, PLU data corresponding to the code is searched at n4. If the target PLU data is found, the process proceeds to 06 based on the judgment at n5, and if no PLU data corresponding to the code is found in the file, it is determined as an error and the process proceeds to n50, which is error processing. In n6, n
The PLU data retrieved in step 4 is displayed on the display 4, printed on the printer 5, captured on the disk memory, and then stopped.

(F1 Effect of the invention) In this way, in this invention, when a report is output, if the scanner reads the barcode label on which the PLU code for which the report is to be output is recorded, the PLU data is searched using the PLU code as a key and the report is generated. This eliminates the need to enter the 12- to 13-digit PLU code manually using a numeric keypad.
It is possible to improve work efficiency and prevent input errors from occurring.
