Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a ticket issuing device that issues tickets for sold products.

[Prior Art] A conventional ticket issuing device issues tickets according to the process shown in the flowchart shown in FIG. That is, it is repeatedly determined whether the product code has been input first and whether the total key has been pressed. Here, when it recognizes that a product code has been input, it prints the product data related to the input product code, such as the product name, on the ticket paper, feeds the ticket paper, and then cuts the ticket paper completely. After that, the process returns to the decision loop described above.

When it is recognized that the total key has been pressed, memory processing is performed, for example, adding the sales amount of one customer to the total sales total memory, and the process ends.

Therefore, if - customers buy, say, three products, then
As shown in Figure 7, one ticket per product,
A total of 313 tickets A, B, and C will be issued.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional ticket issuing device, when - number of customers purchase a plurality of products, a plurality of tickets corresponding to the number of products are handed to the customer.

For customers, this means that products (mainly food)
This is inconvenient because you have to manage multiple tickets so that you don't lose them until you exchange them. Also, opening a store is difficult, as multiple tickets have to be torn apart when exchanging products.

In view of these conventional drawbacks, one object of the present invention is to provide a ticket issuing device that can eliminate the inconveniences for both the customer 11 and the store operator.

[Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, the present invention provides a keyboard having a number key and a department key, a printing section that prints product data on ticket paper, a feed section that feeds ticket paper, and a section that cuts ticket paper. A printer having a cutting section; and a control means for controlling the operation of the printer based on key operations on the keyboard, the control means comprising:
means for causing the feed unit to feed the ticket paper when product data is input using the number key and the department key, and for causing the printing unit to print the input product data on the ticket paper; and a means for printing the product data. After processing, when product data is input using the numeric key and the department key, the cut section cuts the ticket paper leaving a part, and then the feed section feeds the ticket paper, and the printing section It is characterized by comprising means for printing the product data input on the ticket paper, and means for causing the ticket paper to be fully cut by the cutting section when a tightening operation is performed after printing the product data. .

[Operation] First, when the product data for the first product is input using the numeric key and the department key, the ticket paper is fed and the product data for the first product is printed on the ticket paper.

Next, when the next product data is entered, the ticket paper is cut leaving only a portion. Thereafter, the ticket paper is fed and the next product data is printed on the ticket paper. Therefore, when the purchased product data is inputted sequentially, the product data are printed in order on the ticket paper, and the data are sent out in a continuous form, leaving only a part of the ticket paper.

Finally, when the tightening operation is performed, the ticket paper is completely cut. Therefore, even if - customers buy multiple products, multiple tickets will be issued in the form of one piece, so customers +l! It is easy for I to manage, and
It is also easy for store openings to tear apart tickets.

[Embodiment] The present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings regarding an electronic cash register equipped with a ticket issuing function.

FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the electronic cash register. In the figure, 11 is a CPU.

The CPU 1t has ROM 13, RAM 14, l1015.16.1 via address/data bus 12.
7.18 are connected respectively. l1015 has a keyboard 19, l1016 has a display 20, 110
17 has a drawer 21, and 11018 has a printer 22.
or are connected to each other.

The ROM 13 stores a program that determines the operation of the CPU II. Further, RAM 1.4 is allocated with a departmental memory, a PLU memory, a main item sizer, a total sales total memory, and the like.

As shown in FIG. 2, the keyboard 19 has keys from "0" to
In addition to the number keys 31 up to "9", the department keys 32 from "01" to "05", and the total key 33 for closing operations, each 5tir key required for electronic cash registers is
are arranged respectively.

The printer 22 is constructed as shown in FIG.

In the figure, 41 is a case. In case 41,
A printing unit 14 that includes a platen 42 and a line thermal head 43 and prints product data on a ticket paper 51; a feed unit 45 that rotates the platen 42 and feeds the ticket paper 51; and the platen 42 and the line thermal head 43. It is provided with a cutting section 46 that cuts the ticket paper 51 sent out from between.

Here, the ticket paper 51 is a heat-sensitive roll paper having a perforation 52 at the center position in the width direction. Further, the cutting section 47 is capable of completely cutting the ticket paper 51 based on a command from the CPU 11, and is also capable of cutting the ticket paper 51 with only a portion remaining. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, a so-called stub cut can be made from one side of the ticket 51 at a point 21 beyond the central perforation 52.

In addition, here, mainly the CPU II and the ROM 13
This constitutes a control means for controlling the operations of the display 20, drawer 21, and printer 22 based on key operations on the keyboard 19. The control means receives product data input from the keyboard 19 through RA and M1.
In addition to the means for processing 4 and displaying it on the display 20, the present invention has means for executing the processing shown in the flowchart shown in FIG.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained with reference to FIG.

To register sold products, after entering the product code for each product using the number -'v-31, the department key 32 to which the product belongs is pressed.

After all products are registered, the total key 33 is finally pressed as a closing operation.

Then, according to the flowchart shown in FIG. 4, C1) Ull first determines whether there is an input in step (hereinafter abbreviated as ST) 1, and if there is an input, proceeds to S 'I' 2 and processes the input. Determine whether the data is a product code. If it is not a product code, proceed to 5Tll and perform other key processing.

If it is a product code, the process proceeds to ST3 where memory processing is performed, for example, the unit price for that product code is added to the corresponding departmental memory or main item sizer (memory that stores the total sales amount for one customer). Next, the process advances to ST 4, and the printing unit 44 of the printer 22 is operated to print product data related to the product code input on the ticket paper 51, for example, P
The product name corresponding to the input product code is read from the LU memory, and the product name is applied to perforation 5 of the ticket paper 51.
In addition to printing on both sides of the feed section 45
is operated to feed the ticket paper 51.

After the product data is printed, the process proceeds to ST5, and it is again determined whether there is an input. If there is an input, the process proceeds to S'I''6, where it is determined whether or not the manual data is a product code. If it is a product code, proceed to S 'I' 7, operate the cutting unit 46 of the printer 22 to stub-cut the ticket paper 51, and then return to S T 3 to perform the above-mentioned operation, that is, perform memory processing. Thereafter, the printing unit 44 of the printer 22 is operated to print product data related to the input product code on the ticket paper 51, and the feed unit 45 is operated to feed the ticket paper 51.

On the other hand, in the determination of S'I'6, if it is not a product code, the process proceeds to ST8 and it is determined whether it is the total key 33 or not.

If not total key 33, proceed to 5T11 6 total key 3
If it is 3, the process proceeds to ST9, where the cutting unit 46 of the printer 22 is operated to fully cut the ticket paper 51, and then the process proceeds to 5T10, where memory processing is performed, for example, one customer added to the main item sizer for each product registration. Perform processing such as adding the sales amount to the total sales total memory.

Therefore, if - customers buy, say, three products, then
As shown in Figure 5, stub cuts are made between ticket A of the first product and ticket B of the second product, and between ticket B of the second product and ticket C of the third product. A series of tickets will be issued.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, when - customers purchase multiple products, these tickets are stub-cut and issued in the form of one continuous piece, making it easier for the customers to manage the tickets. It is easy, and it is also easy for store openings to tear apart tickets.

Further, since the cutting section 46 of the printer 22 does not have to completely cut the ticket paper 51 for each product, there is an advantage that the life of the blade of the cutting section 46 can be increased.

In the above embodiment, when - customers purchase multiple products, only one side of the ticket paper 51 in the width direction is cut as a stub cut.
It is also possible to cut both sides in the width direction, leaving the center part of 1 intact. In short, any cut is fine as long as it is continuous and can be easily torn apart.

In addition, in the above embodiment, as the printing process of product data,
Although the ticket paper 51 is fed after printing, printing may be performed after the ticket paper 51 is fed.

Further, in the above embodiment, the tightening operation is performed using the total key 33, but the tightening operation is performed using the total -'r-
The key is not limited to 33, but may be a subtotal key, a close key, or the like.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when - customers purchase a plurality of products, a plurality of tickets are issued in the form of one continuous piece. It is easy for the parties to manage tickets, and it is also easy for store owners to tear up tickets.
