Accordingly, the receipt paper guided and conveyed on the predetermined receipt guide path by the receipt paper guide / conveyance mechanism is subjected to receipt printing by the print head at the receipt printing position, and the journal paper guide / conveyance mechanism sets the predetermined journal guide path. Journal printing is performed on the journal transported guide paper by the print head at the journal printing position. As an alternative to such receipt journal printing, manual paper guided and conveyed along a predetermined manual guide path by the manual paper guide / conveyance mechanism is manually operated by the print head at the receipt printing position and the journal printing position. Printing is performed. In this case, since the manual paper is inserted into the manual guide path by an operation of sliding the manual paper placed on the paper table to the rear side of the outer case, the operability is good. .

[0009] In the journal paper guide transport mechanism,
The journal paper storage section and the journal paper take-up section are located at substantially horizontal positions, and the journal paper storage section and the journal paper take-up section are located below the paper table and are built in the first rising section. Therefore, the height of the entire apparatus is not increased, and the space efficiency in the outer case is excellent.
In particular, the fact that the journal winding unit can be arranged in the space below the paper table greatly contributes to the improvement of space efficiency. The arrangement of the print head between the journal paper storage unit and the journal paper take-up unit also contributes to the improvement of the space efficiency in the outer case. This means that the print head can be arranged in the space immediately after the paper table in the outer case. Further, the configuration of disposing the display on the rising surface of the first rising portion improves the space efficiency of the outer case. This is because if nothing is arranged on this surface, the surface becomes dead space due to the structure of the first aspect of the present invention.

[0010] According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the merchandise sales registration apparatus of the first aspect, the hand guide route passes through the back surface side of the outer case.

Therefore, even if the length of the guide path for the manual paper is short, the manual paper is guided and conveyed without any trouble.
Thereby, the size of the device can be reduced.

The print data to be printed on the paper is printed out in the receipt print area a, the data to be printed on the journal paper 22 is printed out in the journal print area b, and the data to be printed on the manual paper 18 is printed in the manual print area c. It is created so that a print signal to be printed out is output from the CPU. In this case, the receipt journal printing and the manual printing are executed alternatively. Here, as a function executed by the microcomputer according to an operation program held by the microcomputer, the ink jet head 28 selectively performs receipt journal printing in the receipt printing area a and the journal printing area b and manual printing in the manual printing area c. The function of the printing means to be executed is executed.

In such a configuration, the ECR 1 of this embodiment executes various operations in the operation mode selected according to the position of the control key 6. For example, if the registration mode is selected, the sales processing of the product is executed by obtaining the unit price of the product or the total sales amount based on the product code input by the barcode scanner or the like connected to the ECR1. At the same time, the registration processing of the sold product is executed. In such sales registration processing of a product, receipt printing issuance, journal printing recording, and memory registration are performed. In other words, as the receipt print issuance, the ink jet head 28 is drive-controlled to record the receipt contents on the receipt paper 19 in the receipt print area a, and the cutter PC is drive-controlled so that the printed portion of the receipt paper 19 is cut. The paper is cut by the PC, whereby the receipt is issued from the receipt issuing port 10. In addition, as the journal print record, the inkjet head 28 is driven and controlled to record the journal contents on the journal paper 22 in the journal print area b, and the winding shaft 36
Is driven and journal paper 2 after journal recording
2 is wound by the winding shaft 36. As the memory registration, transaction contents are written in a sales memory (not shown) held by a microcomputer built in the control unit 16.

Next, manual printing on the manual paper 18 is executed in various operation modes. That is, when the manual paper 18 is inserted from the manual paper feed port 13, the inkjet head 28 and the manual paper guide / transport mechanism 26 are moved in accordance with print data developed in a print buffer (not shown) of a microcomputer built in the control unit 16. Drive control is performed, and predetermined items are printed on the manual paper 18. At this time, the manual feed port 13
The manual paper 18 inserted from the printer is conveyed toward the back of the ECR 1 by the manual paper guide / conveyance mechanism 26, conveyed toward the front of the ECR 1 after printing, and printed on the inkjet head 28 in the conveyance process. Is done. In such a printing process, when the size of the manual paper 18 is large, the rear portion of the manual paper 18 once protrudes outside the outer case 3 from the insertion hole 30. And the printing mechanism 9
The manual print area c including the receipt print area a and the journal print area b with the journal print area b side as the end face reference.
A predetermined item can be printed on the entirety of the document. Therefore, it is possible to print on the manual paper 18 over a wide area beyond the receipt journal print areas a and b, thereby diversifying the use of manual print, and utilizing the receipt journal printing mechanism. In this case, it is possible to extend the printing application to applications that have not been possible in the past. For example, a slip sheet, a POP sheet, a check report sheet, a check sheet, or the like can be used as the manual slip sheet 18, and various prints such as a slip print, a POP print, a check report print, and a check print can be performed. it can. In this case, for example, in the case of POP printing or settlement report printing, it is possible to print on manual paper 18 of a size such as A4 or letter size, which was not possible using the conventional receipt journal printing mechanism. Becomes

As is clear from FIG. 5, the manual print area c is accommodated within the width of the outer case 3, so that the manual paper 18 does not protrude from the outer case 3 during printing. 6), the support of the manual paper 18 can be ensured. In addition, since it is not necessary to secure a space for the manual paper 18 around the outer case 3, the space around the ECR 1 can be effectively used.

Further, since the manual guide path 25 for the manual paper 18 in the manual paper guide / transport mechanism 26 is a straight path, the manual paper 18 can be guided and conveyed without bending. Therefore, the manual paper 18
Damage and paper jam are prevented. Moreover, the manual guide path 25 for the manual paper 18 penetrates from the manual paper feed port 13 provided on the front side of the outer case 3 to the insertion hole 30 provided on the back side of the outer case 3. Because
Even if the length of the manual guide path 25 is short, the manual paper 18 can be straightly guided and conveyed. Therefore, it is easy to reduce the length of the manual guide path 25 and downsize the apparatus. Become.

Further, since the printing unit 27 is of a serial printing system, it can be used in a wide printing area (manual printing area c) without increasing the length of the ink jet head 28 which is a printing head, in comparison with the line printing system. Printing can be performed with respect to this, so that the structure can be simplified and the cost of parts can be reduced.

In this embodiment, the manual paper 18 is inserted into the manual guide path 25 by inserting the manual paper 18 placed on the paper table 7 from the manual paper feed port 13 into the outer case 3. This operation is performed by an operation of sliding backward. Therefore, the operability is good. At this time, the manual paper 18 is inserted into the manual paper feed port 13 with the journal print area b side as an end face reference, while the acrylic plate 12 covering the journal confirmation window 11 is located in the same plane as the paper table 7. Manual sheet 18 is placed in the journal confirmation window 1
It is no longer possible to drop into 1 and get stuck, and the insertion operation can be performed smoothly. The receipt issuing port 10 rises while being inclined from the rear side of the outer case 3 toward the front side, and smoothly communicates with the paper table 7. For this reason, even if the manually fed paper 18 has the size required for the receipt issuing port 10,
When the printed manual paper 18 is discharged from the manual paper feed port 13, the manual paper 18 is smoothly discharged without being caught by the inclination of the receipt issuing port 10.

Next, the journal paper guide transport mechanism 24
In this case, a storage space 34 serving as a journal paper storage unit and a take-up shaft 36 serving as a journal paper take-up unit are located at substantially horizontal positions, and the storage space 34 and the take-up shaft 36 are located below the paper table 7. And is built in the first rising portion 1M. For this reason, the height of the entire apparatus does not increase, and the space efficiency in the outer case 3 is improved. Especially,
The arrangement of the winding unit 36 in the space below the paper table 7 greatly contributes to the improvement of space efficiency. In order to improve the space efficiency in the outer case 3, the second space between the storage space 34 and the winding shaft 36 is required.
Ink-jet head 28 built in rising section 2M
The fact that is arranged also contributes. This means that the inkjet head 28 can be arranged in the space immediately after the paper table 7 in the outer case 3. Further, the rising surface 1Ma of the first rising portion 1M
Since the display 5 is disposed at the rising surface 1Ma
However, the space efficiency of the outer case 3 is improved without the dead space. Thus, it can be said that the ECR 1 of the present embodiment is extremely excellent in space efficiency.
