As shown in the figure, the ECR to which the report issuing method of the present invention is applied is received while kissing the key input unit 20 and the key input unit 20 for generating a mode designation signal and various key codes for money registration. ROM 30 in which a central processing unit 10 for designating an ECR mode according to a key code and performing various functions in the designated mode, a program for system operation, and a program for implementing the report issuing method of the present invention are embedded. Of the display unit 50 and the central processing unit 10 which display various data processing results and system status according to merchandise sales under the control of the RAM 40, which stores money transaction information and various data, and the central processing unit 10. And a printer 60 for issuing documents for customer receipts and various processing results under control, and a power supply unit 70 for supplying power to the entire system.

FIG. 2 is an exemplary view illustrating a key input unit in FIG. 1. As shown in this figure, the key configuration of the key input unit 20 of the ECR to which the report issuing method of the present invention is applied is applied to the mode switch 21 and the ECR used to designate a desired operation mode among the various operation modes of the ECR. Among the various functions provided, a function key group 23 used to execute a desired function, an item key group 25 used to designate a desired item, and a numeric key used to input a price or a corresponding numeric code of various items Group 27. The function key group 23 having the above-described configuration includes a 'report' key 23a used for selecting a kind of report desired by the user in the program mode or issuing a report of the item selected in the check mode and the corresponding report in the program mode. The 'item' key 23b used to select an item desired by the user may be included.

3 is a flowchart for explaining a report issuing method of the cash register of the present invention. First, a series of numbers are given to each report included in the ECR and each report at the time of manufacture of the ECR, and the serial number is defined so as to know which item of which report.

In step S10, it is determined whether the operation mode of the ECR has been switched to the program mode in order to select the item of the report to be checked. As a result of the determination in step S10, when the operation mode of the ECR is switched to the program mode, the process proceeds to step S12 to determine whether there is an input of the 'report' key 23a for selecting the type of report desired by the user. . If there is an input of the 'report' key 23a as a result of the determination in step S12, the flow advances to step S14 to determine whether a numeric key indicating the type of report has been input. If the numeric key is input as a result of the determination in step S14, the flow advances to step S16 to set the report number input display flag, and the flow advances to step S18 to determine the number inputted in step S14, that is, the report number. Save in the report number temporary storage area.

Thereafter, in step S20, it is determined whether the 'item' key 23b for selecting an item desired by the user in the report is input. If there is no input of the 'item' key 23b as a result of the determination of step S20, the process proceeds to step S21 to perform a function of the corresponding program, and the result of the judgment of the step S20 'item' key 23b. If is inputted, the flow advances to step S22 to determine whether a numeric key indicating the type of the item is input. If the numeric key is input as a result of the determination in step S22, the flow advances to step S24 to determine whether the report number input display flag is set. If the report number input display flag is set as a result of the determination in step S24, the flow advances to step S26 to load the report number received in step S14 and stored in the report number temporary storage area to store the report selection contents. Save to area 1. In the next step S28, the number input in step S22, that is, the item number, is stored in the report selection content storage area 2. In the next step S30, the report selection count display counter C is increased by one, the flow advances to step S32 to reset the report number input display flag, and erases the report number temporary storage area.

After receiving the report type and the item to be issued, the report is issued. In step S40, it is determined whether the operation mode of the ECR is the check mode. If it is determined in step S40 that the operation mode of the ECR is not the check mode, the operation proceeds to step S41 to perform the operation of the corresponding mode. If the operation mode of the ECR is the check mode, the operation proceeds to step S42. In the program mode, it is determined whether the 'report' key 23a for issuing a report of the selected item is input. If there is no input of the 'report' key 23a as a result of the determination in step S42, the flow proceeds to step S43 to perform the corresponding key function, and the 'report' key 23a is input as a result of the determination in step S42. If so, proceed to step S44 to load the data (report number and item number) stored in the first area of the report selection contents storage areas 1 and 2, and to load in step S44 in step S46. The item of the report is printed based on the data. Subsequently, in step S48, the data stored in the next area of the report selection content storage areas 1 and 2 is loaded in order to print the next item, and the flow advances to step S50 to set the report selection count display counter C to 1; Decrease. In the next step S52, it is determined whether the report selection count display counter is '0'. As a result of the determination in step S52, when the report selection count display counter C is not '0', the flow advances to step S46 to print the item of the corresponding report based on the data loaded in step S48, and (S46) Repeat the process after. If the report selection count display counter C is "0" as a result of the determination in step S52, the flow advances to step S54 to terminate the execution of the selection report issuing processing routine.

The report issuing method of the cash register of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and can be modified in various ways within the scope of the technical idea of the present invention.

According to the report issuing method of the cash register according to the present invention as described above, only the necessary report items are collected by selecting only some items among the items in the various types of reports so that the user can collect only the desired items and issue them as one report. This can reduce the time and paper waste of issuing a report for verification, and makes it possible to use the cash register more efficiently.
