Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an electronic cash register provided with a control key switch for setting a business mode and a manager key switch for designating a manager.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, this type of electronic cash register has, for example, a fourth
As shown in the figure, select and set the business mode to ``Setting'', ``Registration'', ``Inspection'', and ``Payment'', as well as ``Suspend''.
Control key switch 1 and responsible person "1" to set
, the responsible person key switch 2 which specifies “2” and the responsible person “3”
Some devices are equipped with a person-in-charge key switch 3 for specifying ``'', ``4''.

Note that each responsible person key switch 2.3 is provided with a non-designated position.

As shown in Fig. 4, when the "pause" position is specified with the control key switch 1, this device displays a clock and accepts only the paper feed key for feeding print paper, and prohibits other keys. I have to. When one of ``registration'', ``setting'', and ``inspection J rll calculation'' is selected and set using the control key switch 1, each task can be executed according to the setting, and the corresponding key input becomes possible. Further, when the "registration" mode is set with the control key switch 1, the registration process cannot be started unless the person in charge is designated using the person in charge key switch 2.3.

[Problems to be solved by the invention] As described above, in the conventional cash register, it is necessary to provide the control key switch 1 with a position for specifying "pause", which increases the number of functions of the key switch, which is not economical. There was a problem.

By the way, the "pause" state with the control key switch 1 is not much different from the state where no person is designated with the person in charge key switch 2.3, and for this reason, for example, the "pause" function is removed from the control key switch 1, It is possible to create this function in a state where the person in charge key switch 2.3 does not designate a person in charge.

This invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned points, and includes setting a registration mode with a control key switch, and prohibiting the reception of keys other than the paper feed key when the person in charge key switch does not designate a person in charge. This invention aims to provide an electronic cash register that can eliminate the "pause" function from the control key switch and improve economic efficiency.

[Means for Solving the Problems] This invention enables registration work by setting the registration mode with a control key switch and designating a person in charge with a person in charge key switch. In electronic cash registers, cumulative product sales data is registered in memory and receipts are issued by pressing the closing key.The registration mode is set using the paper feed key to feed printer paper and the control key switch, and the person in charge key switch is used. A means is provided for prohibiting key input other than the paper feed key when the person in charge is not designated.

[Function] In the present invention having such a configuration, when the registration mode is set using the control key switch and the person in charge is not specified using the person in charge key switch, key input other than the paper feed key is prohibited. There is no need for the switch to have a pause 81 capability.

[Actual flow example] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In FIG. 1, 11 is a CPU that constitutes the main body of the control unit, and 12
The ROM 113, which stores program data etc. for controlling each part of this CPIJll, is a memory for classifying input product sales data by department, transaction, person in charge, etc., and registering the cumulative total. This is a RAM equipped with a memory for storing data.

14 is a control key switch 15. 18 is a clock circuit that counts the date and time; 19 is a keyboard controller that controls the keyboard 20 and processes key inputs from the keyboard 20; 21; 23 is a display controller that controls the display device 22 and outputs display data to the display device 22; 23 is a display controller that controls the printer 24 and the drawer opening device @25, outputs print data to the printer 24, and outputs display data to the display device 22; 25 is a printer/drawer controller that outputs a drawer release signal when closing registration, etc.

The CPU 11, ROM 12, RAM 13, I10 board 14, clock circuit 18, and each controller 19.21.2
3 through a pass line 26.

As shown in Fig. 2, each of the key switches 15, 16, and 17 is rotated by inserting a key, and the control key switch 15 has three positions: "setting,""registration,""inspection," and "payment." The person in charge key switch 16 is provided with a designated position for people in charge "1" and "2" and the position with no designated person "." A designated position of ``4'' and a position of no designated person of ``.'' are provided. In addition, in the above, "setting" is a business mode for setting the report print format and various machine conditions, "registration" is a business mode for cumulatively registering product sales data in memory, and "inspection" is a business mode for configuring the report print format and various machine conditions.
is a business mode for issuing inspection reports for each transaction or person in charge, and "Settlement" is a business mode for issuing inspection reports for each transaction or person in charge, including memory clear. .

The keyboard 20 has a number key 20a and a department key 20.
A b1 tightening key 20C1 paper feed key 20d, etc. are provided.

The CPU 11 performs the processing shown in FIG. 3 with the control key switch 15 set to the "registration" mode. That is, it is checked whether the responsible person key switches 16 and 17 are both in the non-designated position, and if they are in the non-designated position, the controller displays the date and time counted by the clock circuit 18. 21 to the display device 22 for display. In this state, only the key input of the paper feed key 20d is checked.

If there is a key input to the paper feed key 20d, the printer 24 is controlled to feed the print paper.

Further, if a person in charge is designated by the person in charge key switch 16, 17, normal registration business processing is performed.

In this embodiment with such a configuration, if the "registration" mode is specified by the control key switch 1 and the person in charge key switches 16 and 17 are set to the unspecified position, registration business processing is prohibited and the display is disabled. The date and time are displayed on the device 22, and only the paper feed key 20d can be operated. That is, conventionally, the control key switch 15
The state will be the same as when you set "pause" with .

In this way, press "pause" from control key switch 15.
Since this function can be eliminated, the number of necessary functions can be reduced accordingly, the cost of the control switch can be reduced, and economic efficiency can be improved.

[Effects of the Invention] As detailed above, according to the present invention, the registration mode is set with the control key switch, and when the person in charge key switch does not designate a person in charge, the reception of keys other than the paper feed key is prohibited. By doing so, it is possible to provide an electronic cash register that can eliminate the "pause" function from the control key switch and improve economic efficiency.

Claims (1)

[Claims] Registration operations can be performed by setting the registration mode using the control key switch and specifying the person in charge using the person-in-charge key switch.The product sales data that is key-input during this registration operation is cumulatively registered in memory, and the key is pressed to close the registration operation. In an electronic cash register that issues receipts, there is a paper feed key for feeding printer paper, and a paper feed key when the registration mode is set using the control key switch and the person in charge is not specified using the person in charge key switch.
