Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

[Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a check printing device, and particularly to a check printing device used in Central and South American countries for printing payment amounts and the like on checks. [Prior art and problems to be solved by the invention] In Latin American countries, checks are used instead of cash even when making small purchases. For this reason, various check printing devices are used in stores to print amount data and the like on checks. The following printing methods for conventional check printing devices (hereinafter referred to as check printers) are known. (1) The clerk prints out the sales amount on the ECR (electronic cash register) as is. (2) The customer enters the payment amount from the En1 Heli Terminal connected to the check printer or the keyboard of the check printer and writes the check. However, in method (1) of (a) above, the customer cannot enter the information himself, so there is a problem that the customer feels uneasy about the operator's input error. ,〈
In method 2), the store clerk does not have to check whether the customer has entered the correct sales amount.

[There was a problem that it was complicated. Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a check printing device that can prevent input errors by clerks and customers. [Means for Solving the Problems] The check printing device of the present invention includes a sales amount registration means for registering the customer's sales amount, an input means for the customer to input the payment amount, and an input means for printing on the check. a printing means; a determining means for determining whether or not the input payment amount matches the sales amount registered by the sales amount n recording means in response to input of the payment amount from the input means; The present invention includes a printing control means for controlling the printing means to print the payment amount on the check in response to the judgment by the judgment means that the payment amount and the sales amount match. [Operation] The check printing device according to the present invention determines whether the sales amount registered by the sales amount registration means matches the payment amount input by the customer, and prints the payment amount on the check only if they match. I am trying to print it out. [Embodiment] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a check printing device according to an embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 2, an ECR 2 is connected to the check printer 1 via a transmission line 5, and an ECR 2 is also connected to the check printer 1 via a transmission line 6. The check printer 1 prints the payment amount and the like on a check paper 4 used as a check. EC
R2 is for the clerk to register the customer's sales amount. The entry terminal 3 is for the customer to input the payment amount. FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the configuration of the check printer shown in FIG. 2. In FIG. 3, the check printer 1 has a CP
U10 is provided. CPIJlo has an ECR interface 11. Entry terminal interface 12. ROM13. RΔM 14 and printer 15 are connected. The ECR interface 11 mediates data transmission between the ECR 2 and the CPU 10, and the entry terminal interface 12 mediates data transmission between the entry terminal 3 and CPLllo. The ROM 13 stores various programs shown in FIG. 4 later. RΔM1i4 is provided with a storage area as shown in FIG. 5 later. The printer 15 prints amount data and the like on the check paper 14. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a memory map of the ROM shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 4, the ROM 13 includes a character generator for printing, a check printing format table,
A monetary comparison program and programs for ECR interface control, entry terminal interface control, printer control and =5-monitor are stored. Here, the amount comparison program 131 is a program for the CPU 10 to compare the sales amount registered by the ECR 2 and the payment amount input from the entry terminal 3 to determine whether they match. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a memory map of the RAM shown in FIG. 3. In FIG. 5, the RΔM 14 is provided with an amount comparison result flag area, a sales amount (A) $8 payment area, a payment amount (B) storage area, a print data buffer, a transmission data buffer J, and a work area. Here, in the storage area 141 (sales amount < A), [ECR
The sales amount data transmitted from the entry terminal 3 is stored in the payment amount (B) storage area 142.
The payment amount transmitted is stored. For example, if the amount comparison result flag stored in the amount comparison result flag area 143 is "111," it indicates that the above-mentioned sales amount and payment amount match, and if it is 110'I+, it indicates that they do not match. If the sales amount and the payment amount match, the payment amount data is stored in the print data buffer 6-144.It should be noted that if the customer pays a portion of the sales amount by check and the remaining amount by cash. In this case, the customer inputs the amount to be paid by check and the amount to be paid by cash from the entry terminal 3. At this time, CPUO determines whether the sales amount and the total payment amount match, for example. The clerk may input the check payment amount from the ECR 2, and it may be determined whether the check payment amounts entered by the clerk and the customer match, and it may also be determined whether the total amount matches.In this case, The amount paid by the customer by check is stored in the print data buffer 144. Fig. 1 is a flow diagram for explaining the operation of one embodiment of the present invention. In reference to,
The operation of one embodiment of the present invention will be explained in detail. The clerk operates the ECR2 to perform sales registration processing. The sales amount is displayed on the ECR2 display. Further, this sales amount data is given to the digital printer 1 via the transmission line 5. CPU 10 of check printer 1
stores the sales amount data given via the ECR interface 11 in the sales amount (A)I storage area 141 of the RAM 14. Subsequently, the customer operates the entry terminal 3 to input the payment amount (B). In this case, if the customer pays using both a check and cash, the customer inputs both the amount to be paid by check and the amount to be paid by cash. The input payment amount data is given to the check printer 1 via the transmission line 6. The CPU 10 of the check printer 1 receives the payment amount (B) received via the entry terminal interface 12.
) data is stored in the payment amount (f3) storage area 142. Subsequently, the CPU 10 compares the sales amount (A) and the payment amount (B) according to the amount comparison program 131 stored in the ROM 13 and determines whether they match. Here, if the sales amount (A) and the payment amount (B) match, the CPU 10 sets the flag in the amount comparison result flag area 143 to
The payment amount data is stored in 4, and the payment amount data, payment name, and date are checked by the printer 15.
Print on top. The customer makes the payment using a check with the amount to be paid printed on it. On the other hand, if the sales amount (Δ) and the payment amount (B) do not match, the flag in the amount comparison result flag area 143 is reset to "0", and then a message indicating the discrepancy and the payment amount (B) are written in the ECR2. ) data is transmitted. These messages and the like are displayed on the display of the ECR2. The store clerk looks at this display and judges whether it is his own mistake or the customer's input mistake, and makes corrective inputs based on his judgment. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the payment amount is printed on the check only when the sales amount registered by the clerk and the payment amount input by the customer match. By preventing both sales registration errors and customer payment amount input errors, it is possible to eliminate waste of check paper due to printing errors.
