DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for registering input product data in a registration file and a receipt buffer.
Stored in §, and when one transaction termination declaration is made receipt
The present invention relates to a merchandise sales registration data processing device configured to issue a receipt in which contents stored in a buffer are collectively printed as all merchandise data registered in one transaction.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In a merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus, when a merchandise code is input using a scanner or a keyboard,
The control unit searches the product file and stores the product data (product name,
Unit price). The product data input in this way is registered in the registration file as sales data.

Here, there are a sequential printing method and a batch printing method as a method of printing registered product data on a journal and receipt paper.

[0004] In the latter case, if there is product registration (YES in ST30 of FIG. 5), the product data is registered in the registration file, and is converted into a print format for convenience of printing, and is stored in the journal buffer. It is stored in the receipt buffer (ST31, ST32). And
When all the products purchased by the customer are registered and one transaction end declaration, that is, a closing operation (YES in ST33) is performed, an accounting process including calculation of a total amount and the like is executed,
Thereafter, all the product data are printed collectively on the journal, and a printed receipt is issued (ST3).
4).

On the other hand, in the former case, ST3 in FIG.
Every time the merchandise is registered between Step 2 and ST33, the merchandise data is printed on the journal and the receipt paper, respectively, and only the receipt is issued in ST34 of FIG.

Therefore, when the printer is of a low-speed printing type, from the viewpoint of shortening the waiting time of the customer after the accounting,
A sequential printing method is adopted. However, the sequential printing method has a drawback that when a product is canceled or a minus or M & M (mix and match) product is registered during product registration, the printed content of the issued receipt becomes complicated and very difficult to see. is there.

In order to eliminate this drawback, it is preferable to adopt a batch printing method after the tightening operation by setting the printer to a high-speed printing type. Since the printing is performed at high speed, the waiting time can be reduced, so that there is no problem. However, if this batch printing method is adopted, it is pointed out that there is a product registration error from the customer discovered from the display content, or when the cashier himself wants to check whether the product was registered as a special sale item, for example,
Since the product data cannot be viewed, there is a new problem that the product data cannot be confirmed.

Thus, a large-sized display (for example, CRT) and a plurality of displays (for example, LCD) capable of displaying a list of all commodity data in one transaction are provided. Further, the present applicant has previously proposed an apparatus in which the product data can be printed on a journal by pressing a journal confirmation key (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H6-115014).
No. 9).

[0009]

However, a system having a large-sized display or the like has become difficult to accept because the size of the device and the cost are increased. In addition, in the journal confirmation method, it is very troublesome to quickly and accurately feed a journal on which product data has been printed to a small viewing window, and therefore, in actual operation, especially for an unskilled person, it is effective. It is pointed out that it is low.

An object of the present invention is to provide an easy-to-handle merchandise sales registration data processing apparatus which can accurately and quickly confirm merchandise data registered so far during merchandise registration work even if a batch printing method is adopted. Is to do.

[0011]
