As shown in this figure, the cash register to which the present invention is applied, documents a receipt for the customer, an audit paper, and various data processing results under the control of the central processing unit 10 and the central processing unit 10 that control the overall operation of the cash register. The printer 20 issuing the printer, the key input unit 30 for generating a mode designation signal and various key codes for money registration, the system operation program and the program for implementing the receipt header / footer printing method of the cash register of the present invention Indicator 60 for displaying various information related to money transactions and the like under the control of the RAM 40 and the central processing unit 10 in which the built-in ROM 40, various data generated during a cash register operation, and header / footer setting information are stored. ) Is made.

FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating a key configuration of the key input unit of FIG. 1. As shown in this figure, the key of the key input unit 30 selects and executes a desired function from among the various functions that can be performed by the mode switch 31 and the cash register used to designate a desired mode among various operation modes of the cash register. It is divided into a function key group 32 used, an item key group 33 used to designate a sale item, and a numeric key group 34 used for inputting a price or a number requiring registration of various items. The function key group 32 may further include a header key 32a, which is a key for requesting the contents of the receipt header, and a footer key 32b, which is a key for requesting the content of the receipt.

Figure 3 is an exemplary view of the display of the receipt header / footer items, the machine number assigned to each cash register in the production process, the business registration number of the store using the cash register, the phone number of the store, receipt date and receipt receipt It is an exemplary view showing that items such as numbers are output on the display corresponding to the numbers 0 to 4, respectively.

Figure 4 is an exemplary view of a memory map for the implementation of the present invention, the contents of the receipt header / footer according to the receipt header / footer printing method of the present invention and the RAM 50 on the cash register so that the setting information of the print position is stored; It is an exemplary figure which shows the storage area provided in.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a content setting process according to a header / footer item of a receipt. Hereinafter, the contents setting process according to the header / footer item of the receipt will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and the flowchart of FIG. 5.

As shown in FIG. 5, when it is determined whether the mode selected by the mode selection switch 31 of the current key input unit 30 is a program mode in step S2, the current mode is a mode other than the program mode. Proceeding to step S4, other operations according to other modes are performed.

However, if the current mode is the program mode, the program according to the present invention proceeds to step S6 where it is determined whether a key is required to set the contents according to the header / footer item. On the other hand, the key for requesting to set the above content may be preset as a predetermined key in the production process of the cash register. The Korean / English key provided in the function key group 32 of the key input unit 30 may be preset as the aforementioned key. If set, in step S6 it is determined whether the Korean / English key input.

As a result of the discrimination in step S6, when the Korean / English key as described above is not input, the program for carrying out the present invention proceeds to step S8, where another kind of program work that can be performed in the current program mode is performed. . However, as a result of the discrimination in step S6, when the Korean / English key is input, the process proceeds to step S10 where the printable items as header / footer of the receipt and the numbers corresponding to the items are shown in FIG. As shown on the display. The items are preset in the production process of the cash register, but the specific contents of each of the items may be changed or set by performing the content setting process according to the header / footer item of the receipt.

After performing step S10, the process proceeds to step S12 to input a number corresponding to the print item for which content is to be set, and then proceeds to step S14 to receive specific contents of the item corresponding to the number.

For example, to set the contents of a store telephone number, which is one of the receipt header / footer items, first, a corresponding number 2 and a key for notifying completion of the input of the information are pressed, for example, an input key. Subsequently, after inputting the telephone number of the store, press the input key again to complete the contents setting of the store telephone number.

After performing step S14, the process proceeds to step S16, where the contents set in the step S14 are stored in the corresponding storage area.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a method of printing a receipt header / footer of a cash register of the present invention. As shown in this figure, first, as the power is applied to the cash register in step S20, in step S22, the transaction closing flag is cleared at the beginning of the operation of the cash register. After performing step S22, the flow advances to step S24 to determine whether or not the mode selection switch 31 of the key input unit 30 selects a program mode.

If the program mode is selected as a result of the discrimination in step S24, the program for carrying out the present invention proceeds to step S26 to determine whether the header key 32a is input. As a result of the discrimination in step S26, when the key 32a is input, the program for carrying out the present invention proceeds to step S28 to output the printable items and the corresponding numbers as a receipt header / footer on the display. .

Figure 3 is an example in which the items are output on the indicator, the person who wants to change the configuration of the header / footer using the header / footer printing method of the cash register of the present invention by inputting the corresponding number of the items in the header / footer You can select the item to be printed.

In step S30 following the execution of step S28, the item as described above is printed on the line number on the receipt to be printed and its position in the line, i.e., left / right and on the indicator in step S28. Enter the corresponding star number. After performing step S30, the process proceeds to step S32 to store the information input in the step S30 in a corresponding storage area.

After performing step S32, the process proceeds to step S34 to determine whether or not to end the configuration setting of the receipt header, and upon completion of the header configuration setting, the process proceeds to step S36 to perform another kind of program work that can be performed in the current program mode. do. However, if the determination in step S34 does not end the header setting, the process proceeds to step S28 and the procedure from step S28 to step S34 is repeatedly performed to continue the header configuration setting operation. .

As described below, in printing the header of the receipt, a two-line blank is placed at the upper end of the receipt, followed by a store telephone number on the third line and a receipt date and time on the fourth line. For example, a description will be given for a case in which the printing date starts at the end and the printing date starts at the proper position of the line and the printing is completed at the right end of the receipt. In order to set as in the above example, first, in step S30, a key for notifying completion of input of the line number 3 and a predetermined item, for example, pressing an input key provided on the function key group 32, and then left of the line Press the key for setting printing to start from the stage, for example, the item 1 key and the input key provided on the item key group 33. Next, press 2 and an input key corresponding to the item store telephone number.

In addition, in the fourth line, if the receipt issuance date is printed in accordance with the right end of the receipt, the line number 4 and the key are set to end printing at the right end of the line, for example, on the item key group 33. Press item 2 key and input key provided in. Next, press 3 and the input key corresponding to the date of receipt issuance of the header / footer item.

On the other hand, when the determination result in step S26 is that the header key 32a is not input, the flow advances to step S38 to determine whether or not the footer key 32b is input. As a result of the discrimination in step S38, if the key 32b is not input, the program for carrying out the present invention proceeds to step S36, and another program operation capable of working in the current program mode is performed.

However, when the footstep key 32b is input as a result of the determination in step S38, a setting process similar to the header configuration setting process from step S28 to step S34 described above is performed first, step S40. And prints the printable items and the corresponding numbers on the display as a footer. In step S42 following the execution of step S40, a predetermined number of line numbers on the receipt to be printed as described above and a position on the line, i.e., the corresponding number for each print item output on the left and right sides and the indicator, are displayed. Enter a number. After performing step S42, the process proceeds to step S44 to store the information input in step S42 in the corresponding storage area.

After performing step S44, the process proceeds to step S46 to determine whether the configuration of the receipt footer is terminated, and upon completion of the footer configuration, the process proceeds to step S36 to perform another kind of program work that can be performed in the current program mode. do. However, if the footing configuration setting is not finished in step S46, the process proceeds to step S40 and the steps from step S40 to step S46 are repeatedly performed so that the footing configuration setting operation is continuously performed. do.

On the other hand, as a result of the discrimination in step S24, when the current mode selected by the mode selection switch 31 is not the program mode, the program for carrying out the present invention proceeds to step S48 to determine whether or not it is the registration mode. As a result of the discrimination in step S48, if it is not the registration mode, the program for carrying out the present invention proceeds to step S50 and other functions suitable for the selected other mode are performed.

However, as a result of the discrimination in step S48, in the registration mode, the flow advances to step S52 to determine whether or not a transaction closing key is input. The transaction closing key is a key that is pressed at the end of the registration process according to the purchase history of a single customer to process data according to the customer's payment, and means, for example, a key such as cash, card, and check.

If the transaction closing key is inputted as a result of the discrimination in step S52, the flow advances to step S54 to process the data according to the payment to complete the money registration and set the transaction closing flag. In a subsequent step S56, a footer that matches the setting contents of the receipt footer configuration setting process from the above-described step S40 to step S46 is printed on the receipt. After performing step S56, the process proceeds to step S52 where key input is awaited.

On the other hand, when the determination result in step S52, if a key other than the transaction closing key is input, the program for performing the present invention proceeds to step S58 to determine whether the transaction closing flag is set. If the result of the determination in step S58 is that the transaction closing flag is set, this is the case where the key input is performed for the first time after the receipt footer is printed, and the flow proceeds to step S62 and the above-described step S28 to step S34. Receipt headers up to Print the header corresponding to the setting contents of the setting process and clear the transaction closing flag. After performing step S62, the process proceeds to step S52 where key input is awaited.

On the other hand, if the transaction closing flag is clear as a result of the determination in step S58, since this is a key input is performed after the header is printed, the process proceeds to step S60 where each data according to the money transaction is a general money registration process. Is processed according to.
