As shown, a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as a CPU) 100 for controlling the overall operation of the cash register, and a ROM (ROM) 140 for providing various control programs and initial data to the CPU 100. And RAM 150, which is a memory device that stores information such as a unit price for each item for sales activities, information such as a sale amount generated in sales activities, and various information generated from a cash register in the form of letters. A display unit 110 for displaying, a small printer 120 for issuing a receipt for sales details, a clock chip 160 for checking a time to recognize a sold time and date, or for managing a point of sale; And a keyboard 130 including a communication buffer stage 170 for temporarily storing all signals or data, and a plurality of keys for inputting various commands and data. Input by operation of) Is a command or data is processed according to a program stored in the ROM 140 by the control of the CPU (100). Accordingly, the cash register operates and inputs and outputs data stored in the memory device 150 as necessary. The result processed according to this process is output to the printer 120 or the display unit 110.

In the cash register operating in the above configuration, the data to be printed on the slip receipt when printing to the slip printer using the communication port RS-232C in the process of outputting data through the printer. Regardless of whether the amount was larger or smaller than the slip receipt size, the printing was made unconditionally.

Therefore, when the amount of data to be printed on the slip receipt in the conventional cash register is larger than the slip receipt size, there is a problem in that it fails to print everything on the slip receipt and loses data to be printed.

Therefore, in order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention specifies data to be printed by specifying the number of lines that can be printed in accordance with the slip receipt size in case the amount of data to be printed on the slip receipt is larger than the slip receipt size. Its purpose is to provide a way to print on multiple slip receipts.

FIG. 2 illustrates a case in the program mode. As shown in FIG. 2, when the amount of data to be printed on the slip receipt is larger than the slip receipt size, FIG. Step (S10), and if the step (S10) is completed, the step of determining whether the program mode (S11), and if the determination result in the step (S11), if the program mode, the print option (Slip Printer) in the slip printer (Option) In step S12 of determining whether it is a key to set, and as a result of the determination in the step S12, when a key for setting a slip printer printing option is input, Setting the slip printer printing option (S12-1), and when the step (S12-1) is executed, returning to determine whether the program mode is executed again (S12-2). It consists of).

In addition, as a result of the determination in the step S12, if the input key is not a key for setting the sleep printer printing option, the key for clearing the sleep printer printing option is cleared. ) Is a key for clearing the sleep printer printing option (S13), and the sleep printer printing option function is cleared (S13). Clear step (S13-1), and when the step (S13-1) is executed, the step (S13-2) to return to determine whether the program mode again.

In addition, if it is determined in the step S13 that the key is not clear, the operation determines whether the slip receipt line designation key is S14, and in the step S14, the line is determined. If it is not the designated key (S14-5), and if the step (S14-5) is executed (S14-5) is executed to return to determine whether the program mode (S14-6) and In addition, if the determination result in the step (S14), if the line designation key (Key), the step (S14-1) and the step (S14-1) of storing the currently specified number of specified lines (A) in the memory is executed When the step counter (S14-2) and (S14-2) are executed, the line counter SA printed in the slip receipt memory is cleared. (Clear) and when the (S14-3) step is executed, returns to check whether the program mode again (Retu rn) (S14-4).

3 illustrates the case of the registration mode, and in the step S11 of determining whether the program mode is the program mode, if it is not the program mode, determining whether the registration mode is the registration mode (S15) and (S15). If it is determined that the registration mode is the registration start step (S16), and if the determination result in step (S16), if the registration start, the step (Clear) to clear the slip receipt memory (S17), and (S17) When the step is executed, the step (S18) of clearing the memory storage counter T for the slip receipt (S18), if the step (S18) is executed, processing the registration data (S19), and (S19) When the step is executed, storing the registration data in the memory for slip receipt (S20), and if the step (S20) is executed, gradually increasing the memory receipt counter (S) for sleep receipt (S21), When the above step (S21) is executed, the pro again It is a step of returning to determine whether it is in gram mode.

In addition, if it is determined in the step (S15) that the registration mode is not, the process of processing the general register mode (S15-1) and the step (S15-1) are executed, and returns to determine whether the program mode again. It consists of the step (Return) (S15-2).

In addition, if it is determined in the step S16 that the registration is not started, it is determined whether the registration is being performed (S22), and if the result is determined in the step S22, the registration is returned to process the registration data. It consists of a step (S22-1).

4 shows a case in which the determination result in step S22 of FIG. 3 indicates that the device is not registered. If not, since registration is completed, it is determined whether a slip key is issued (S23). If the determination result in step S23 is not the issue key for slip receipt, the process returns to step S15-1 of processing the general register mode. As a result of determination in step S23, the issue key for slip receipt is determined. If it is determined in step S24 that the printing option for the slip receipt is set (S24) and the determination result in the step (S24), if the print option is not set, an error (ERROR) ) And when the step (S24-1) is executed to return to the program mode again, and returns to the program mode. Option is set, it is T = φ Returning to step S25 and returning to the step S24-1 of generating the error ERROR if T = φ as a result of the determination in step S25, and further, the step S25. If it is determined in the step that T = φ, and not T = φ (S26), and if the determination result in step (S26), if SA≤T, T = φ, SA = φ, SC = φ If the execution step (S26-1), and if the step (S26-1) is executed (S26-2), and if the determination result in step (S26), SA≤T, the data to be printed on the slip receipt Reading from the memory for slip receipt and sending it to the communication buffer stage (S28), and if the step (S28) is executed, increasing the line counter (SC) printed with the slip receipt (S29), (S29) When step (S30) is executed, increasing the line counter SA printed from the memory for slip receipt (S30), and if the step (S30) is executed, determining whether SA≤T And it is configured with a return (Return) Step (S31) to.

Referring to the operation of the flow chart configured as described above are as follows.

First, if the amount of data to be printed on the slip receipt by the cash register user is larger than the slip receipt size, it is determined whether it is a program mode or a registration mode to implement a method that can be printed according to the slip receipt size. If the program mode is set, the printer checks whether it is a key to set the sleep printer printing option.

In this way, if a key for setting the sleep printer print option is set, the sleep printer print option is set, and the slip printer print option is cleared. If a key is pressed, the slip printer print option is cleared. If the sleep printer line designation key is entered, the line counter (SC) printed on the sleep printer after storing the input number of designated lines in the memory and the line counter (SA) printed on the memory for the slip receipt are printed. Clear.

In addition, when the key entered in the registration mode is the start of registration, the memory for the slip receipt and the memory storage counter (T) for the slip receipt are cleared, the registration data is processed with the general registration, and then the data is printed on the slip receipt. The data is stored in memory and then the stored counter is incremented.

In addition, in the case of registering, the counter processes the registration data, and stores and stores in the memory for the slip receipt.

As such, when registration is completed, check whether a key for issuing a slip receipt is entered, and if it is a key for issuing slip receipt, check whether the slip receipt print option is set again, and then print a slip receipt option. ) Is set, it is determined whether or not the sleep receipt memory storage counter is zero, and if it is not zero, it is regarded that data is stored in the sleep receipt memory, and a line counter (read and printed data from the sleep receipt memory) SA) and the slip receipt memory storage counter T and the line counter SC printed with the actual slip receipt when the line counter SA is less than or equal to the memory storage counter T for the slip receipt, and the slip The data to be printed on the slip receipt when the receipt is smaller than or equal to the number of designated print lines (A). After reading from the memory and sending it to the communication buffer stage, the line counter SC printed with the slip receipt is gradually increased. Also, the line counter SA read from the sleep receipt memory is incremented and repeated until all the slip receipts are printed.

At this time, if the line counter SC printed with the slip receipt is larger than the designated number of the slip receipt print lines, it is assumed that one slip receipt has been printed, and the printed line counter SC is cleared to zero. Wait for the key to be entered to go back and issue the next sleep receipt.

Here, if a key for issuing the next slip receipt is entered, if the total counter (T) currently stored in the sleep receipt memory is not zero, it is assumed that there is data to be printed on the slip receipt, and is printed as a slip receipt. If the counter SA is smaller than the slip receipt memory storage counter T, the process of printing as a slip receipt is repeated. If the counter SA to be printed as a slip receipt is larger than the slip receipt memory storage counter T, the printing is stopped. After all, the slip receipt memory storage counter T and the counter SA read and printed from the slip receipt memory and the line counter SC printed on one slip receipt are cleared to zero.

If the slip receipt issuing key is entered, the slip printer printing option is not set or if the total counter T stored in the slip receipt memory is zero, the slip receipt cannot be issued. It is displayed through the device or using a buzzer.

Therefore, the effect of the present invention can be divided according to the amount of data to be printed on the slip receipt according to the size of the slip receipt when printing to the sleep printer using the communication buffer can reduce the loss of data guidance, the user wants to sleep Receipt can be issued to increase the reliability of the device.
