Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a weighing label issuing device.

For example, a weighing label issuing device weighs an item using a scale, calculates the price by inputting the unit price using a numeric keypad, displays the weight, unit price, and price on a display, and prints out the label on a label issuing unit. I have to. Further, in this type of weighing label issuing device, for example, processing date, department code, effective date, tare weight, etc. are preset and are printed out on the label along with weight, unit price, and price each time a label is issued. Furthermore, this type of weighing label issuing device is equipped with operation switches corresponding to various types of print data such as weight, unit price, price, date of processing, department, effective date, tare weight, etc., and by operating the operation switches. It is possible to select printing or prohibition of printing on the labels of the above various print data.

Conventionally, in such a weighing label issuing device, there is a switching operation of an operating switch, and in order to confirm the change of state due to the operation, a label must be issued, which is troublesome.

This invention was devised to solve this problem, and when the operation switch changes the items to be printed on the label or changes the contents of the label issuing operation, it can be done immediately without issuing the label. To provide a measurement label issuing device which can notify and easily confirm changes, and can easily carry out notification operation using an existing display.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 1 is a scale, 2 is a display section, 3 is an operation section, and 4 is a label issuing section. The display section 2 includes various indicators such as a weight indicator 5, a unit price indicator 6, and a price indicator 7, as well as a zero point indicator lamp 8, a tare weight subtraction lamp 9, a tare amount lamp 10, an error lamp 11, and a processing date lamp.

The label issuing unit 4 has a built-in printer and a stamp, which will be described later, and prints predetermined data and characters on the label 31 and issues it. In addition,
32 is a power switch, and 33 is an article.

Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the overall circuit configuration.
34 is CPU (central processing unit), 35 is ROM
(read-only memory), and 36 is a RAM (random access memory). Said CPU3
4 reads weight data from the scale 1 by interrupt. The CPU 34 operates the operation/display controller 37 and controls various switches 22.
30 and various keys 14 to 21, various indicators 5 to 7, and various lamps 8 to 13.
I'm trying to get it to work. Also, the CPU3
4 operates the print controller 38 to operate the printer 39, stamp 40, feed mechanism 41, etc. of the label issuing section 4. These various operations performed by the CPU 34 are performed based on a program, and the program is
It is preset in ROM35. The RAM
Numeral 36 includes various flag memories, various registers, and various totalizers, and in particular, as shown in FIG. 3, a display wink F (flag) is formed as a flag memory.
43, Setting F44, Weight over F45, Motion F46, Accumulator 4 as register
7. Switch register 48, display register 4
9. A product code totalizer 50 is formed as a totalizer.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart of the main processing performed by the CPU 34. When the CPU 34 starts, it performs initial processing. This initial processing includes clearing the RAM and reading the status switch. If the status switch is set to test, the process jumps to the test routine. If the test has not been completed, all digits of various displays 5, 6, and 7 should be set to 0 to 0.
Scan up to 9 and perform segment check. Next, it is checked whether the load on the scale 1 is within the zero point range, and if it is within the range, the weight data is read in, and processing is performed to prevent the read weight data from flickering. Perform auto zero tracking at the zero point. Subsequently, if the label goes out of control, a feed stop signal is output to the label issuing section 4. Next, the contents of the status switch and various operation switches 22 to 30 are read. In addition, if the load is not within the zero point range, display 5 to 7.
Turn off the light, read the weight data with
Further, if the zero setting key 16 is operated, weight data is set in a register for determining the zero point.
This process will be repeated until the load falls within the zero point range. When the reading of the above switch contents is completed, it is then checked whether the label issuing business is set to fixed price issuing. If the issue is not fixed-rate issue, key processing is performed, and weight overage processing is performed. This process sets weight over F45 when the data after the flicker prevention process exceeds the weighed value. Next, tare weight subtraction processing is performed. This process calculates weight - tare = net when the tare is set. Next, motion flag processing is performed. This process sets motion F46 when the load is unstable.
Next, the weight rounding process of 〓 is performed. This process rounds the net weight count to an integer multiple of the minimum scale value. Next, do the price calculation. This is net ×
Unit price = Determined by price. Next, net,
After the unit price and price are suppressed to zero, they are stored in the display register 49. Then, it is checked whether the setting F44 is "1" or not, and if it is "1", the contents of the display register 49 are rewritten to the set business contents. If it is not "1", this rewriting process will not be performed. Subsequently, the contents of the display register 49 are displayed on the various displays 5 to 7. Subsequently, lamps are displayed based on the contents of each display and each operation switch. Finally, the weighing data is printed on the label based on the contents of each display and each operation switch, and the process returns to the above. Also, when the label issuing business is set to fixed price issue, the same key processing as described above, the same price calculation 〓〓, and the same processing, and when the setting F = 1, the same processing as 〓〓, etc. Similar processing 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓 〓〓 〓 In this flat rate printing, flat rate data is printed on a label according to the contents of each display and each operation switch, and the process returns to the above.

To explain in more detail the contents of the above switch reading process, the display wink flag 43 is reset as shown in FIG. Then, the contents read last time and stored in the switch register 48 are compared with the contents read this time and stored in the accumulator 47, and if the two contents are different, the display wink flag 43 is set, and if the two contents are equal, what happens? Neither. Finally, the contents of the accumulator 47 are transferred to the switch register 48, and this process ends.

In addition, to explain in more detail the contents of the above processing, as shown in FIG. The F code for turning off the light is set in all digits of the register 49, and nothing is done unless it is set to "1". Finally, the contents of the display register 49 are displayed and the process ends.

In such a configuration, the operating states of the operation switches 22 to 28, such as processing date, unit price, weight, price, department, effective date, and tare, as well as the job designation switch 29, are read periodically in the main routine.
In this reading, the operation status of each switch read last time and stored in the switch register 48 is compared with the operation status of each switch read this time and stored in the accumulator 47, and if the two are different, the operation status of each switch is compared. Display wink flag 4
3 is set. This display wink flag 43
The status of is checked when displaying the contents of the display register 49. If the display wink flag 43 is set, the F code for turning off the light is set in all digits of the display register 49, and then the display wink flag 43 is set. The contents of register 49 are displayed. Therefore, when the various switches 22 to 30 are operated, the F code is set in the display register 49 and the various indicators 5, 6, and 7 are temporarily turned off.

As described above, the various switches 22 to 30 are changed, and when the items printed on the label or the contents of the label issuing operation are changed, the various indicators 5, 6, and 7 for weight, unit price, and price go out temporarily. This makes it easy to confirm changes.

As described in detail above, according to the present invention, when the contents are changed by switching the operation switch for setting various contents such as items to be printed on the label and label issuing operation, the existing display immediately displays the contents. A weighing label issuing device that can easily confirm content changes without the trouble of issuing a label and confirming content changes, and also allows easy notification using an existing display. It is possible to provide
