As shown in FIG. 2, a mode switch 21 for designating the operation mode and various functions including report issuance are performed. And a function key group 23 for designating an item, an item key group 25 for designating a desired item, and a numeric key group 27 for inputting a price or a numeric code of various items.

The function key group 23 includes a 'report' key 23a for selecting an item desired by the user in the type-specific report issued.

3 is a diagram showing a report table to be applied to the present invention by way of example. As shown, a report area for storing a report type and a required item for each report type, and a status value according to setting of printing or not for each report item. It is divided into a flag area for storing.

Referring to the flowchart of FIG. 4, the process of setting whether to print the necessary items of the report for each type of cash register according to the present invention will be described below.

First, it is determined whether the mode switch 21 of the key input unit 20 is switched to a program mode for setting whether to print a required item of a type-specific report among a plurality of operation modes (S10).

If the determination result of the tenth step (S10) has not been switched to the program mode (S11), if it is switched to the program mode (S11), if it is switched to the program mode for setting whether to print the required items of the report for each type It is determined whether there is an input of the 'report' key 23a (S12).

If there is no input of the 'report' key 23a as a result of the determination in the twelfth step (S12), the function of the corresponding program mode is performed (S13) and is required if there is an input of the 'report' key 23a. The type of report for setting whether to print an item is input (S14). For example, use number key 1 to set whether to print the required report item by item, number key 2 to set whether to print the report need item by clerk, and number key to set whether to print the report required item by time. Receive the input.

Subsequently, it is determined whether the type of the report received in the fourteenth step S14 is a valid report (S16).

As a result of the determination in the sixteenth step (S16), if the report input in the fourteenth step (S14) is not a valid report, an error message is output and notified to the user (S17). The required item of the report received in step 14 is received (S18). For example, total sales = 1, returns = 2,... Enter the required items, such as total trauma = n.

Next, it is determined whether the item received in the eighteenth step (S18) is a valid item (S20).

As a result of the determination in the twentieth step (S20), if the item input in the eighteenth step (S18) is not a valid item, an error message is output and notified to the user (S21). It is set whether or not to print the required item input in step 18 (S18) (S22). For example, in the case of printing the necessary item input in the eighteenth step (S18), if the numeric key 1 is input after selecting the required item, and in the case of not printing the required item received in the eighteenth step (S18). After selecting the required item, input the numeric key 0. Accordingly, necessary items are selected as print setting items.

In operation S24, the value input in the above steps 14 to 22 is stored in the corresponding area of the report table shown in FIG.

The report issuing method of the cash register of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

First, it is determined whether the mode switch 21 of the key input unit 20 is switched to the check mode for confirming the transaction contents up to now among the plurality of operation modes (S50).

If the determination result of the 50th step (S50) is not switched to the check mode (S51), and performs the function of the corresponding mode (S51), if the switch to the check mode receives the type of the report to be issued by the user (S52). For example, Report by Item = 1, Report by Clerk = 2,…. For example, you can enter the type of report, such as hourly report = n.

Subsequently, it is determined whether the report received in the 52 th step S52 is a valid report (S54).

As a result of the determination in step 54 (S54), if the report input in step 52 (S52) is not a valid report, a function of a check mode is performed (S55) and input in step 52 (S52). If the received report is a valid report, the total number N of necessary items belonging to the received report is read in step 52 (S52), and at the same time, the current item i is initialized to '0' (S56). .

Next, it is determined 58 whether the current item i is greater than or equal to the total number N of items.

If the current item (i) is greater than or equal to the total number (N), that is, if the current item (i) is smaller than the total number (N), the flag indicating whether the current item (i) is printed is It is determined whether it is set (S60). It is possible to determine whether the current item is a print setting item according to whether the flag is set.

As a result of the determination in step 60 (S60), if the flag for printing the current item (i) is set, after printing the current item (i) (S62), the current item (i) is increased by 1 (S64). If the current item i is not set or not, the process proceeds to step 64 in which the current item i is incremented by one.

If the current item (i) is greater than or equal to the total number (N) as a result of the determination in step 58 (S58), printing is terminated (S59).

The report issuing method of the cash register according to the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the range permitted by the technical idea of the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, whether or not to print in a flag for the types and items of reports desired to be printed out among various types of reports relating to product sales information, only report items required by the responder when the report is issued are selected. In this case, the printing time can be reduced, and the printing paper can be saved.
