Abstract

PURPOSE:To retrieve a commodity to which a label has not been issued, by providing a zero selecting means for searching only a zero data of a total data storage part of a PLU memory. CONSTITUTION:An article number, commodity code, commodity name, unit price, and date counter storage part, a total data storage part, a zero selecting means, etc., are provided on a PLU memory 8. In this state, by the zero selecting means, only a zero data of the total data storage part is detected from a PLU file, and outputted to a journal printer 10. In this way, by calling a data of the date counter storage part in the memory 8, how many days the weighing value has not put on its commodity can be checked. Accordingly, a commodity to which a label has not been issued can easily be retrieved.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic billing scale with a label printer, which is used, for example, in supermarkets and the like to weigh and price merchandise.

Conventional technology Conventionally, a label printer is equipped with a large number of PLtJ memories in which product numbers, product codes, product names, unit prices, etc. are stored in advance, and also issues labels on which the unit price, weight, price, etc. are printed after weighing the products. There are electronic fare scales. This type of electronic price scale with a label printer has a total data storage section in the PLU memory that stores the total number of packs, total weight, and total price, so that these values can be checked or settled. . This inspection of the total data storage section also makes it possible to output to a journal printer, for example, in descending order of the number of packs based on the product number or product code. Such a function is generally referred to as "rABC analysis".

Problems to be Solved by the Invention This type of ABC analysis allows analysis of which products are weighed and valued in large numbers, or in terms of weight or monetary value. However, finding out which products do not have a measurement value is
The published list must be visually searched, which is difficult.

Means for solving the problem: A zero selection means is provided to search only those whose data in the total data storage section of the PLU memory is O from the PLU file, and it is incremented by 1 every day and cleared every time a label is issued. A date counter storage section is provided.

Only those whose data in the total data storage section of the active PLU memory is O are searched out from the PLU file and outputted to an output means such as a display or journal printer. Also, by calling up the data in the date counter storage section in the PLU memory, it is checked for how many days the product has not been weighed.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the drawings.

First, a label printer 1 and a scale 2 are provided and electrically connected. The label printer 1 has a panel key 3, an LCD display section 4, and a label issuing port 5 on the front thereof. Further, inside the label printer 1, a CPU is provided.
6, and this CPU 6 has a printer 7, a PL in addition to the scale 2, the panel keys 3, and the LCD display section 4
A U memory 8, a mode changeover switch 9, a journal printer 10 as an output means, and a clock 11 are connected.

As shown in FIG. 3, the contents of the PLU memory 8 include a 4-digit product number column 12, a 6-digit product code column 13,
Product name column 14, 4-digit unit price column 15, 4-digit tare column 16, 4-digit date counter 18 as date counter storage section 17
, and a total data storage section 19. The total data storage section 19 includes a 4-digit number of packs, 20.8-digit weight total column 21, and an 8-digit amount total column 22.

Note that what is shown in FIG. 4 is a check sheet 23 printed out according to a zero analysis command, which will be described later.

In such a configuration, the label issuing operation will first be explained based on FIG. 5. First, it is checked whether it is possible to issue a weighing label, and if the issuance conditions are met, a label (not shown) is issued. Then, the date counter memory of the PLU of the issued label is cleared to O. Also, add 1 to the number of packs 20 in the total data storage section 19 of the issued PLU. At the same time, the respective data are added to the total weight column 21 and the total amount column 22.

Next, the operation in the payment mode will be explained based on FIG.

The second payment mode is set by the mode changeover switch 9, and when the payment operation is performed, the total data storage section 19 of all PLUs in the PLU memory 8 is cleared to zero.

Furthermore, the operation of the H row count clear mode will be explained based on FIG. When the mode changeover switch 9 is operated to perform a clear operation as described above, the date counter storage sections of all PLUs in the PL IJ memory 8 are cleared to O.

Next, the operation in the inspection mode will be explained based on FIG. First, the target PLU to be inspected by product number or product code.
Specify. Then, specify the inspection method.

In addition to the above-mentioned "rABC analysis", this inspection method includes "zero analysis" for which no label is issued. now,
If zero analysis is specified, the total data storage section 19 of the PLU memory 8 is checked for each PLU, and PLUs whose total data is O are output to the journal printer 10. This process is completed for all PLUs.

Check sheet 2 printed out as in 2.
An example of 3 is shown in Figure 4, and this check sheet 23 includes the "machine number", "store code", "date of issue", and "
"Issuance time", "Search range", and "Search content" are printed.

Here, the search content is the product number, product name, and number of days printed, but this number of days is the number of days the label was not issued. For example, "beef shoulder (for steak)" is printed on the label for two days. Not issued, “Beef shoulder meat (for shabu-shabu)”
indicates that no label was issued for 10 days.

Therefore, although the printed data is at least for which no label has been issued, if you look at the "Number of Days" column, it is clear which PLUs are used less frequently, and it is easy to find the target to be rewritten.

Additionally, if an inline system is used,
When the PLU memory is not stored in the own PLU memory, the PLU may be called by asking the parent unit, but in such a usage state, the own PLU memory is searched and the one with a ○ is deleted, and the parent unit It is capable of storing data retrieved from the machine.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention includes a large number of PLU memories in which product numbers, product codes, product names, unit prices, etc. are stored in advance, and also weighs the product and prints out the unit price, weight, price, etc. In an electronic price scale with a label printer that issues labels, a total data storage section for storing the total number of packs, total weight, and total price is provided in the PLU memory, and the total data storage section is selected by a zero selection means. Since the PLU whose data is O is output to the output means, it is possible to easily search for products for which no labels have been issued.In addition, by providing a date counter storage section in the PLU memory, it is possible to easily search for products for which labels have not been issued. It is also possible to know the number of days of PLUs that have not been rewritten, which makes it possible to easily select the PLU whose PL[J memory should be rewritten.
