Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce a load on an operator by arranging the reading window of a goods data reader on the upper plane of a cabinet facing upward, arranging a keyboard in a forward/backward direction of the reading window, and arranging a printer for receipt issuance by separating from the cabinet at the upper side of the cabinet. CONSTITUTION:The goods data reader 12 is arranged in the upper center of the cabinet 10, and the keyboard 15 is provided at this side of the reading window 13 provided facing upward. Also, at the depth part of the cabinet 10, two columns 18 protruding upward are provided integrally, and at the upper part of the column 18, a display part 19 for customer is provided at the right side, and the printer 20 for receipt issuance at the left side. Furthermore, the receipt issuance port 22 of the printer 20 for receipt issuance is positioned at a part not to be interfered with an ordinary sheet 21 in the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the goods data reader 12. In such a way, the load applied on the operator can be reduced.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application The present invention relates to a product sales registration device used as a PO8 terminal having a built-in product data reading device.

2. Description of the Related Art An example of a conventional product sales registration device of this type will be described with reference to FIG. That is, a drawer 2 is provided at the bottom of the casing 1, and a display section 3 is provided at the rear of the top of the casing 1. In the center of the housing 1, a reading window 5 of a product data reading device 4 and a keyboard 6 are provided on the right side, and a receipt issuing printer 7 is provided on the left side.

Further, a receipt issuing port 9 for issuing a receipt 8 of the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged on the front side.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Since the receipt issuing printer 7 is arranged in parallel next to the product data reading device 4, the main body of the device is wide, making it difficult to scan products with labels on which barcodes are printed. When storing the product in the basket, the product must be moved a large distance by the amount of the receipt issuing printer 7, which increases the burden on the operator and increases the scanning time.

Further, although the receipt 8 is issued from the front left side of the housing 1, since the issued receipt 8 is close to the operator, there is a risk that the receipt 8 may interfere with the operator and damage the receipt 8.

Means for Solving the Problem In a product sales registration device equipped with a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer, a reading window of the product data reading device is arranged facing upward on the top surface of the casing. At the same time, a keyboard is disposed in the front and rear direction of the reading window, and the receipt issuing printer is disposed above the casing, separated from the casing.

The receipt issuing printer, which is separate from the casing in which the product data reading device is installed, is arranged above the casing, and the keyboard is arranged in the front and back direction of the product data reading device. , the width of the housing only needs to be the width of the product data reading device, which reduces the distance to scan products, reduces the burden on the operator, and reduces scanning time. Moreover, the position of the receipt issued from the receipt issuing port is also a position where it will not be exposed to the operator, thereby eliminating the risk of damage to the receipt.

Example An embodiment of the present invention will be described based on FIG.

First, a drawer 11 is provided at the bottom of the casing 10, a product data reading device 12 is provided at the center of the top of the casing 10, and a reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 is provided facing upward. ing. Further, a reading confirmation lamp 14 is provided at the upper right of the reading window 13. This reading confirmation lamp 14 displays a blue color when data can be read, and changes to a red color when data is read to confirm that the data has been read.

Next, a keyboard 15 is provided in front of the reading window 13.
A bill and coin tray 16 is formed on the left side of the keyboard 15.

Furthermore, a FLU keyboard 1 is located behind the reading window 13.
7 is provided.

Two pillars 18 projecting upward are integrally provided at the rear upper part of the housing 1o, and a display section 19 for customers is installed on the right side of the upper part of the pillar 18, and a receipt is issued on the left side. A printer 20 is provided. The receipt issuing port 22 for issuing the receipt 21 of this receipt issuing printer 2° is located at the upper part of the front side, and the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12 is It is positioned so that it will not interfere with the inside. That is, the receipt issuing port 22 is provided at a position that is higher than the reading window 13 by a predetermined height and deviated in the back direction by a predetermined dimension. Furthermore, the scanning area here refers to the area that is the sum of the readable area where the barcode of the label attached to the product can be read and the product movement area where the product can be moved from side to side.

In such a configuration, a barcode that can be read by the product data reading device 12 is printed on the label attached to the product. Therefore, when reading the product data, the product is scanned over the reading window 13.

As a result, data is captured, and when the data is read, the reading confirmation lamp 14 changes to red, so that the reading status can be confirmed.

When scanning this product, the product data reading device 12
Since it is formed singly in the width direction of the housing 10, its width dimension is small, so that the scanning distance of the product is short, the burden on the operator is light, and the scanning time is also short.

The product data is read in this way, and as a result, a receipt 21 is issued from the receipt issuing port 22. If this receipt 21 is of normal length, it will not interfere with the scanning area of the reading window 13 of the product data reading device 12, as described above, and will be located in a position where the operator will not interfere with it. ing. Therefore, there is no risk that the receipt 21 will be damaged by the operator.

Moreover, the position of the issued receipt 21 is such that the operator can easily take it.

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention provides a product sales registration device equipped with a product data reading device, a keyboard, a display unit, and a receipt issuing printer, in which the reading window of the product data reading device is oriented upward on the top surface of the housing. At the same time, a keyboard is arranged in the front and back direction of the reading window, and the receipt issuing printer is separated from the casing and placed above the casing, so that the widthwise dimension of the casing is Only the width of the product data reading device is required, so the distance to scan the product can be shortened, reducing the burden on the operator and the scanning time. The position of the receipt issued from the mouth is also at a position that does not interfere with the operator, which has the effect that there is no risk of the receipt being damaged.
