Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention provides an electronic cash register in which data corresponding to one registered object (customer) can be printed on a single slip sheet in multiple parts. The present invention relates to a data registration device such as the above.

[Conventional technology]

For example, in electronic cash registers as accounting devices used in hotels and inns,
For example, as shown in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 55-61871, when dividing slip paper for each customer and printing customer registration data on the slip paper, first print a code set for each customer called a table number, Next, the customer's registration data is printed. Then, by closing the registered data, the total amount of the current registered data is printed on the slip paper as a carryover amount, and a line number that specifies the next printing start position is printed, and furthermore, the current customer and the next customer In order to ensure proper correspondence, a check code is calculated and printed. Then, the next time the same customer visits, set the same slip as this time and pick up the customer's table number (code), line number, previous balance that is the same as the carryover amount, and check code from the slip. After key input, the next registration data is printed on the slip paper.

[Problem that the invention seeks to solve]

Conventionally, in such electronic cash registers, if you forgot to set the slip paper and keyed in the table number (code), line number, pre-balance amount, and check code, an error occurred and you had to set the slip paper again. It was a hassle to have to type these in.

In this invention, if a key entry is made for necessary information such as the previous balance amount, check code, line number, etc. when the slip paper is not set, the key entry is validated and clearly notified, and the slip paper is then set. An object of the present invention is to provide a data registration device capable of simplifying operation and improving reliability by printing input information that has already been keyed in on a slip form.

[Means for solving problems]

This invention has a slip insertion section into which a slip sheet specified for each registration object is inserted, and corresponds to one registration object inputted multiple times via an input device on one slip sheet. In a data registration device that registers each data in a storage unit and prints it on a slip paper, a code printing means that prints on the slip paper a code specifying a registration target inputted via an input device, and a code that is printed on the slip paper. A line number counter that counts the number of lines of data, a line number printing means that prints the count value of the line number counter as a line number on slip paper in response to the closing key operation, and a line number printing means that is created in response to the closing key operation. A check code printing means that prints a check code on the slip paper, a carryover value printing means that prints the total value calculated in response to the closing key operation on the slip paper as a carryover value, and the same registration target uses the same slip paper. An input information memory that stores input information consisting of a code, line number, check code, and carryover value input through an input device when registering for the second time or later; A slip paper insertion instruction means for instructing to insert a slip paper when no slip paper has been inserted, and printing each input information stored in the input information memory on the slip paper when the slip paper is inserted into the slip insertion section. It is equipped with an input information printing means.

[Effect]

With the data registration device configured in this way, when one registration target registers data for the first time, the slip paper is inserted into the slip insertion section,
When you enter a code that specifies the registration target, this code is printed on the slip paper. Next, when each piece of data is entered, it is registered in the storage unit and printed sequentially on the slip paper.When the first registration is completed and the close key is pressed, the total value of all the entered data is carried over to the value. , a line number indicating the number of lines to be printed, and a check code are also printed. When registering for the second time or later using the same slip, the code, line number,
When the check code input information is input, the input information is temporarily stored in the input information memory. If the slip paper has not yet been inserted into the slip insertion section at this point, an instruction is given to insert the slip paper. and,
When the slip paper is inserted, each input information is printed on the inserted slip paper. Therefore, even if the slip insertion operation is delayed, the previously input information will not be erased, so there is no need to perform the input operation again.

FIG. 5 shows a specific circuit system, which can be constructed from, for example, a well-known microcomputer.

21 is the CPU (Central Processing Unit), which
The CPU 21 has a built-in arithmetic circuit, an instruction decoder, a memory control circuit, etc., and performs various arithmetic processing and operates the storage section 22 and the input/output section 23 based on each input signal from the keyboard 2. The storage unit 22 includes a ROM (read-only memory) 24 consisting of a plurality of IC elements that stores fixed data such as programs that perform processing corresponding to each key operation, and a ROM (read-only memory) 24 that stores fixed data such as programs that perform processing corresponding to each key operation, and a ROM (read-only memory) 24 that stores fixed data such as programs that perform processing corresponding to each key operation. RAM (random/
access memory) 25. this
The data in ROM24 and RAM25 are addressed by
via bus 26 and data bus 27.
Information is exchanged with the CPU 21, for example, on a time-sharing basis, and chips are simultaneously selected via a ROM selector 28 and a RAM selector 29. The input/output section 23 includes I/O ports 30 and 31 connected to the CPU 21 via the address bus 26 and data bus 27, a keyboard control circuit 32, and a display control circuit 33, each of which is controlled by the CPU 21. It is becoming more and more common. The I/O port 30 inputs a business mode designation signal from the control switch 3 and transmits it to the CPU 21.
The alarm 34 is operated by inputting an alarm signal from the terminal. The I/O port 31 outputs a signal to the drawer opening device 35 to open the drawer 7, and also outputs a signal to the printer device 36.
Print data is output to the printer 37 to print the data on the receipt and recording paper, and print data is output to the slip printing device 37 to print the data on the slip paper. The keyboard control circuit 32 inputs key signals from the keyboard 2 and transmits them to the CPU 21, and the display control circuit 33 outputs display data to the display device 6. Said RAM2
5 includes a memory for setting the number of printable lines M ₁ , a counter for the number of print lines M ₂ , a SAVE memory for printing total amount M ₃ , a table number SAVE memory M ₄ , a total amount memory M ₅ , an input information memory M ₆ for replacing slip paper A timer T, a line number reaching flag F, etc. are provided.

The CPU 21 is connected to the control switch 3.
The ROM 2 is activated by various key input signals from the keyboard 2 based on the setting of the business mode by the ROM 2.
A predetermined program is read out from 4 to perform various processing operations, and when registering a slip which is performed by setting the registration mode, the processing is particularly performed based on the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, in the initial registration, which is the first registration, when a department registration operation or the like is performed by key input from the keyboard 2, key processing is performed based on the key input, and cumulative registration processing to the totalizer in the RAM 25 is performed. Then, if printing is set and the slip closing key 13 is not operated, the slip printing device 37 prints on the slip paper, and the count value of the print line number counter _M2 of the RAM 25 is incremented by one. Then, the count value of the print line number counter _M2 is compared with the set count value of the printable line number setting memory _M3 ,
If the count value of the print line number counter _M2 is small, the routine returns to key-in again. Also, if the count value of the print line number counter _M2 is large, the total amount of the series of data that has just been registered is calculated and the RAM 25
The total amount is stored in the SAVE memory _M3 for printing the total amount, and the total amount is printed on the slip paper as a carryover amount. Also prints the date and time. In this state, the contents of the printing line number counter _M2 are cleared and the line number reaching flag F is set. Then, the slip lamp 20a is blinked on the display device 6 to instruct replacement of the slip paper. When the slip paper is removed from the slip insertion section 8 in this state, the slip paper exchange timer T starts counting operation. After a new slip is inserted into the slip insertion section 8, the system waits for the clear key 16 to be pressed. In this state, when the clear key 16 is pressed, the total amount stored in the SAVE memory _M3 for printing the total amount,
That is, the amount printed on the previous slip paper as a carryover amount is printed on a new slip paper as the previous balance amount.
If there has already been a key input for subsequent registration data when setting the previous slip paper, key processing, printing processing, etc. are performed based on the key input. Also, if the key-in is slip lock key 13, a check code is calculated from the total amount, table number, and line number of the data just registered, and the line number and check code are printed on the slip paper, as well as the total amount is printed as carryover money. do. Also, this total amount is accumulated in the total amount memory _M5 . In this way, the initial registration is completed.

For the second and subsequent registrations on the same slip form, the input information consisting of the key-input check code, previous balance amount, table number, and line number is temporarily stored in the input information memory _M6 in the ROM 25. do. Then, the key-input check code is checked, and if the check code is different from the check code calculated from the previous balance amount, table number, and line number that were also key-input, an error will be processed and an alarm 34 will sound continuously to notify you. , and if both check codes match, it is determined that the key input has been performed correctly, and then it is checked whether or not a slip sheet has been inserted into the slip insertion section 8. If the slip paper is inserted and set, the slip paper is fed by the input line number and the pre-balance amount that has already been input is printed. Thereafter, the same registration process as at the time of initial registration will be performed. Further, if the slip sheet has not been inserted and set, the error at this time is notified in a different form from the error when checking the check code described above. For example, the alarm 34 is sounded with a short sound such as pop, pop, pop, etc., and the slip lamp 20a is blinked to notify the instruction to insert the slip paper. In this state, the slip insertion section 8
When the slip sheet is inserted and set, the operation of the alarm 34 is stopped and the slip lamp 20a is turned off. Then, wait for clear key 16 to be pressed.
When the clear key 16 is pressed in this state, the slip is fed by the line number already input and stored in the input information memory _M6 , and the previously stored amount is printed. Thereafter, the same registration process as at the time of initial registration will be performed.

For example, let's talk about a case where a customer with table number ``123'' buys a 100 yen item in section 01 and a 200 yen item in section 02, performs initial registration, and then registers the slip again several days later. For operations and slip printing, see a, b in Figure 7 and a, b in Figure 8.
It becomes as shown in . That is, in the initial registration, the customer's table number "123" is entered using the number key 9 and the table number key 14 is operated as shown in Figure 7 a to 1, and the customer's table number data is first input. . Next, data for 100 yen and 200 yen products is entered using the number key 9 and department key 10, subtotal processing is performed using the subtotal key 12, and then closing processing is performed by operating the slip closing key 13. As shown in Figure 7b, table number ○a, product registration data ○b, and total amount ○c are printed in sequence on the slip form, as well as line number ○d and a carryover amount equal to the total amount ○. E and table number,
A check code ○ calculated from the line number and total amount will be printed. Furthermore, the date
The time is printed. In this way, the initial registration on the slip form is completed. When a customer who has completed this initial registration comes next time, he or she looks at the slip and enters the customer's table number using the number keys 9 and the table number key 14, as shown in Figure 8 a. The line number is input using the number keys 9 and the line number key 15, and the previous balance amount and check code are further input using the number keys 9 and the previous balance amount plus key 17. Here, if the slip paper is not inserted and set in the slip insertion section 8, an alarm 34
This is notified by the slip lamp 20a, but when the slip sheet is inserted into the slip insertion section 8 and set,
By inputting the clear key 16 as shown in Fig. 8, the slip paper is fed by the line number, and the previous balance amount is printed as shown in the circle of b in Fig. 8. Thereafter, by inputting the registration data of the product as shown in a of FIG. 8, the registration data will be printed as shown in the circle of b in FIG.

In this way, when performing registration printing for the second time or later on the same slip paper, the remaining balance registration process is performed, and at this time, the table number, line number, previous balance amount, and check code are entered by key. Even if this key input is performed before the slip paper has been inserted and set, first the alarm 34 and the slip lamp 20a are pressed.
The instruction to insert the slip paper is given in a different form than when an error occurs normally, and then the slip paper is inserted and set and the error is cleared using the clear key 16. Since the advance balance amount is automatically printed by feeding the slip paper by the line number as valid, there is no need for the troublesome operation of re-entering the table number, line number, advance balance amount, and check code. The operation can be simplified and the reliability of the operation can be improved since the state of not inserting a slip due to the previous balance amount can be notified separately from other errors.

In addition, although the above-mentioned embodiment describes the application of this invention to an electronic cash register, it is not necessarily limited to this, and can also be applied to, for example, an inventory management machine that registers the number of items. .

〔Effect of the invention〕

As detailed above, according to the present invention, when the data carried over from the previous slip registration is input as the remaining data and the transmission is registered, the code set corresponding to the registration target such as the customer, the remaining data, etc. , a check code, a line number that specifies the current printing start line, and other necessary information to be entered by key.
If the key input is correct and the slip paper is not inserted and set in the slip insertion section, the instruction to insert the slip paper is notified in a different form than when an error occurs, and then the slip paper is inserted and set, and the error is cleared. As a result, a predetermined printing process is performed on the slip paper as a result of the data entry, so that it is possible to provide a data registration device that can simplify key input operations and improve the reliability of key input operations. be.
