Description

How to edit a receipt print form for an electronic cash register {RECEIPT FORM EDITING METHOD OF ECR}

The present invention relates to an electronic cash register, and more particularly, to a method for editing a receipt printing form of an electronic cash register in which a user can selectively print only an item to be printed by allowing a user to edit a receipt printing form in various forms.

An electronic cash register is a device that processes various data accompanying product sales and informs users of results so that information management can be smoothly managed. It ranges from point of sales system to comprehensive management of economy. Hereinafter, in the present specification, the term ECR (Electronic Cash Register), which means an electronic cash register controlled by a microprocessor, is used as a broad concept including a low-end cash register to a POS terminal.

1 is a block diagram of a general electronic cash register. As shown in FIG. 1, the electrical configuration of the electronic cash register includes a key input unit 20 that generates various key codes for mode designation and cash registration, and kisses the key input unit 20 according to the input key code. The central processing unit 10 which designates the mode of the ECR and performs various functions in the designated mode, the ROM 30 storing the system operation program, and the various data generated during the program or transaction set by the user RAM 40, a display unit 60 for visually displaying various information under the control of the central processing unit 10, and a printer 70 for issuing various processing results as documents such as a customer receipt under the control of the central processing unit 10. ), The buzzer unit 80 for alarming malfunction or abnormal operation of the device, and receiving commercial AC power and converting it into various types of DC power required to drive the cash register. It comprises a central processing unit 10, power supply 90 is supplied to each section of the circuit, including the printer, and 70, a display unit 60, interface unit 50, which relays the transfer of data or the like.

In the conventional ECR having the above-described configuration, when the transaction details of the goods are registered in real time, the contents are printed according to a predetermined universal receipt form as shown in FIG. In addition, even when the user wants to print the receipts arbitrarily, since there is only a single receipt form predetermined for each model, there is no room for selecting another receipt form.

When closing the sales results, it is possible to print receipts or print only a few items on the basis of specific items or sales time, but these functions are also printed in the form of pre-programmed receipt printing. As a result, it was not possible to extract only the items desired by the user or print only the items suitable for a specific use. Thus, in order to see what you want, there will be a way to print all the items provided by the program and then find the item you want, or you can find the item by printing several kinds of receipts that contain the item you want, but this is a very inefficient operation. It will be.

Also, it may not matter when you print only a few items, such as when a trader is a general consumer, but considering that a lot of goods are usually traded with a goods client, the date, place of purchase, and name of each item And printing the transaction details such as the price in a predetermined receipt form may not be simple and may be a very verbose receipt.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the present invention provides an electronic cash register that enables a user to print a receipt including only items to be printed by allowing a user to edit various types of receipt print forms. The purpose is to provide a method for editing a receipt print form.

The present invention for achieving the above object is a step of waiting for input of the line number and item number in the state that the print item is set, the environment for editing the receipt print form is set, the line number and the item number is input Judging whether the same line number as the number already exists; as a result of the determination in the determining step, if the same line number does not exist, the line number and the item number are stored corresponding to an arbitrary receipt number, and the same line number exists. When the data length of the print items corresponding to both line numbers is added, it is determined whether the printable length is one line, and the judgment result in the determining step indicates that the line corresponds to the receipt number when the data length is one line printable. After storing the number and item number, based on the line number and item number corresponding to the receipt number It characterized by comprising the step of printing the item.

Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings will be described in detail a method for editing a receipt print form of the electronic cash register according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

3 is a memory map of an item printed on a receipt, in which an item name is stored corresponding to an item number, and the maximum occupied when each item name and predetermined data accompanying the item name are printed on one line; The data length will be stored. For example, the item 'date' means that the item number is '1' and the data length occupied by this item is 4 bytes.

4 is an exemplary key configuration diagram of an electronic cash register to which a method of editing a receipt print form according to the present invention can be applied, and in practice, the arrangement and number (functions) of keys are changed or added according to the height or ease of use of the model. Will be.

As shown in Figure 4, the key configuration of the ECR to which the method of editing a receipt print form according to the present invention can be applied is a mode selection switch 21 used to designate a desired operation mode among various operation modes, sales registration and function setting. Numeric key group 27 used to input various numbers required for the item, item key group 25 used to designate a desired item, and function key group 23 used to execute a desired function among functions provided in the ECR. It can be distinguished.

The function key group 23 includes an 'end key' 23a used to end the operation of editing the receipt form required for the present invention, and a 'receipt selection key' 23b used in the process of selecting a receipt print form. ) Is defined.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method of editing a receipt print form of the electronic cash register according to the present invention. First, in step S10, it is determined whether the program (PGM) mode for editing various receipt print forms is performed. . As a result of the determination in this step S10, if it is not in the program mode, the process proceeds to step S12 to perform other selected functions, but when in the program mode, the process proceeds to step S14, where the line number and the print item number are It is determined whether it is input. As a result of the determination in step S14, when the line number and the print item number are not input, the process proceeds to step S16 to perform an error process, but when the line number and the print item number are input, the process goes to step S18. Then, the line number entered previously is searched.

Subsequently, in step S20, it is determined whether the currently input line number matches the previously input line number. At this time, if both line numbers match, the process proceeds to step S22. In step S22, the data length occupied by the item of the existing line number and the data length occupied by the item of the currently input line number are added, and the process proceeds to step S24. In step S24, the data length occupies based on the summed data length. It will determine if it is possible to print two print items on one line. For example, if the currently input line number and item number are '1' and '1', the print form means that the item 'date' is printed on the first line as described with reference to FIG. If the item numbers are '1' and '2', the print form means that the item 'time' is printed on the first line. This means that 'time' and 'date' should be printed on the same line (first line) at the same time. When the time and date are printed on one line, the data length of the time and date is added together. To determine whether printing on one line is possible. Assuming that the maximum length of data that can be printed on one line of a receipt is 15 bytes, if items and subtotals are entered and specified on the same line, two items cannot be printed on one line.

Subsequently, when it is determined in step S24 that it is not possible to print on one line, the process proceeds to step S26 to perform error processing. As a result of the determination in step S24, when it is possible to print on one line, the process proceeds to step S28, where the input line number and print item number are stored, and then the process proceeds to step S30.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S20, if the input line number and the previously input line number do not match, the process proceeds directly to step S28 and stores the line number and item number.

Subsequently, in step S30, it is determined whether a job end command by the job end key 23a is input. When the job end command is not input, the process proceeds to step S14 until a job end command is input. If the job termination command is input in step S30, the process proceeds to step S32 to perform a job termination process by storing a receipt number corresponding to the stored line number and item number. Done.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an operation in which an arbitrary receipt form is selected by the user's selection in the state in which various types of receipt forms are formatted as described above, and an item is printed on the receipt. It is determined whether a transaction registration has been made or a predetermined command for requesting receipt output is input. As a result of the determination in step S40, when the receipt is outputted, the flow advances to step S42 to determine whether the receipt selection key 23b is selected and whether a receipt number specifying an arbitrary receipt form is input. . As a result of the determination in this step S42, if an arbitrary receipt number is inputted, the process proceeds to step S44 where the item is read based on the line number and item number stored corresponding to the receipt number, and then the read item. As soon as the receipt is printed a predetermined breakdown.

On the other hand, as a result of the determination in step S42, if a random receipt number is not selected for a predetermined time, the flow advances to step S46 to execute the printing operation according to the receipt standard form.

FIG. 7 is an exemplary view of a receipt form output by applying a method of editing a receipt print form according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, items printed according to each receipt number are different from each other, and a user desired item is printed. You will be able to choose a receipt number.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiment, it is described to store only when two or more selected items can be printed on one line. However, when two or more selected items cannot be printed on one line, the later selected items are moved to the next line. It can be configured to save automatically.

According to the present invention as described above, it is possible to selectively print only the item to be printed by allowing the user to edit the various forms of receipt printing form.
