BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash register for managing sales information of a product, and more particularly to a cash register having a function of issuing a voucher and having a voucher issuing function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional cash register for managing sales information of a product has a function of printing and issuing a receipt in which details of the sold product are recorded. Does not have a voucher issuing function.

[0003] For example, in a cafeteria, a voucher called a meal ticket is used in order to reliably deliver ordered food and drink to an orderer. This voucher is printed and issued by a dedicated ticketing machine. Or, order a food ticket with the name of the sales product printed in advance and obtain it from a specialized trader, and issue an exchange ticket by means of handing the applicable food ticket to the orderer when ordering food and drink. I am. For this reason,
