Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain printing with a required printing format without using a customer receipt by providing the title cash register with a printing format setting means for a sales information report and a means for outputting printing data to an external printer by using the format. CONSTITUTION:When a commodity code and the amount are inputted through a keyboard 17, a CPU 14 stores the information in a sales memory 16 in each sales date and controls a receipt journal printer 20 to generate a customer's receipt. The CPU 14 executes totalization in each input and stores information such as the total sales amount and the total number of units of each sold commodity per day, the total sales amount and the total number of units in each period and the number of stocks in the memory 16. When a sales information printing instruction is inputted through the keyboard 17, the CPU 14 reads out the sales information from the memory 16 based on a control procedure stored in a ROM 15 and the printing format previously set up in the printing format and outputs the read result to an external printer 22 through an output device 21.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a cash register that prints sales information of a store or the like.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION FIG. 6 shows a conventional cash register, and 1 is a roll of printing paper on which customer receipts and sales information reports compiled by the cash register are printed.

In FIG. 6, 2 is a central processing unit (CPU) that controls the entire cash register, 3 is a memory IJ (ROM) in which programs such as the control procedure and printing order of the CPU 2 are stored in advance, and 4 is a A sales memory for storing sales information as shown in FIG. 7; 5 a keyboard for manually inputting various commands and sales information; 6 a display device for displaying sales information; 7; Receipts for printing customer receipts and sales information on printing paper 1.
It is a journal printer.

In the above configuration, when a product code and amount are input via the keyboard 5, the CPU 2 stores the information in the sales memory 4 for each sales date, and also prints a receipt for the customer by controlling the receipt/journal printer 7. Issue.

Then, the CPU 2 performs aggregation for each of the above inputs, and as shown in FIG. Information such as the number of items in stock is stored in the sales memory 4.

On the other hand, when a command to print sales information is input via the keyboard 5, the CPU 2 calculates the daily sales total for each product as shown in FIG. You can print out a report of the amount, total number of items, and total sales, or you can print out a report of the total sales amount, total number of items, and total sales for a period, as shown in Figure 9.
To print an inventory report as shown in Figure 10,
The information is read from the sales memory 4 and the receipt/journal printer 7 is controlled.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, in the conventional Canon cash register described above, a report of sales information is printed by a paper journal printer 7 on a roll of printing paper 1 that serves as a receipt for customers. , the number of printing digits is limited, so 1
There is a problem in that a large number of printing sheets 1 are required to obtain one report of sales information.

Furthermore, in the conventional cash register described above, since programs such as the printing order of the CPU 2 are stored in the ROM 3 in advance, there is a problem that the printing position cannot be easily changed for each cash register.

In view of the above-mentioned conventional problems, the present invention provides a cashier that allows sales information reports to be easily printed in a desired format.
The purpose is to provide a register.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to achieve the above objects, the present invention provides a means for setting a print format for a sales information report, and a means for outputting print data of sales information to an external printer in the set print format. It is equipped with the following.

Effect of the Invention With the above configuration, the present invention allows the sales information report to be printed in the desired print format using an external printer without printing the sales information report using the receipt/journal printer that issues customer receipts. It can be easily printed in this format.

EXAMPLES Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing one embodiment of the cash register according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram of the stored contents of the print format memory of FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3, 4, and 5 are 2A and 2B are explanatory diagrams showing examples of printing by the Cano/U register shown in FIG. 1, respectively; FIG.

In FIG. 1, 14 is a central processing unit (CPU) that controls the entire cash register, and 15 is a CPU 1.
4 is a read-only memory (ROM) in which the control procedure program is stored in advance; 16 is a sales memory for storing sales information as shown in FIG. 7; 17 is a storage memory for inputting various commands, sales information, etc. The useless keyboard, 18,
As shown in Figure 2, this is a print format memory that stores the print position of each item for each sales report (sales report, sales amount report, sales quantity report).
This printing position is set in advance from the keyboard 17 before printing starts.

19 is a display device for displaying sales information, etc.; 20 is a receipt/journal printer for printing receipts for customers; 21 is a receipt/journal printer for outputting sales report print data to an external printer 22; Paper 2 larger than a customer receipt printed by the printer 20
This is an output device that allows printing in multiple digits.

Next, the operation of the above embodiment will be explained.

In FIG. 1, when a product code and amount are input via the keyboard 17, the CPU 14 stores the information in the sales memo 1J16 for each sales date, and also controls the receipt journal printer 20 to print out a receipt for the customer. Issue.

Then, the CPU 14 performs aggregation for each of the above inputs, and the seventh
As shown in the figure, the sales memory 16 stores information such as the total sales amount and total number of products for each day, the total sales amount and total number of products for a period, and the number of products in stock if an inventory management function is provided.

On the other hand, when a command to print sales information is input via the keyboard 17, the CPU 14 prints the sales information into the sales memory 16 based on the control procedure stored in the ROM 15 and the print format preset in the print format memory.
from the external printer 22 via the output device 21.
Output to.

3 and 4 respectively show a sales report and an inventory quantity report for each product printed by the external printer 22, with the printing position of each item set arbitrarily and multi-digit printed on one sheet of paper 23. Can be printed.

In addition, in the inventory quantity report shown in Figure 4, the items are printed in a predetermined order, but as shown in Figure 5, it is also possible to print in the order of items with the highest number of items in stock. Defective stock can be easily determined by comparing with the number of sold items.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION As described in detail, the present invention includes means for setting a print format for a report of sales information, and means for outputting print data of sales information to an external printer in the set print format. Instead of printing the sales f7 yen report using the receipt/journal printer that issues receipts for customers, it is possible to print the report in the desired print format using an external printer.
