Abstract

A point of sale printer (305) and printer circuit (300) is described which permits high speed printers to be connected into existing point of sale store systems. The printer (305) includes a circuit which may be included with the printer directly or provided separately as an interface unit which, by monitoring data exchanged within the register system, will control the operation of the printer (305) to produce 'clean' receipts. An additional feature provided is that each receipt may be customized to include a selected store logo where the logo is stored in memory in the circuit, or a selected receipt trailer which is selectable from a number of trailers also stored in memory in the printer circuit (300). A further feature of the system is that the circuit will provide information to the printer for printing both the front of the check and provide a restrictive endorsement on the back of the check. The information relative to the restrictive endorsement is similarly contained in memory in the circuit.
