First, as shown in FIG. 6, the electronic cash register 1 repeatedly judges whether the product code is input and the subtotal key is operated (steps S1 and S2). When the salesclerk who confirms the product requested to purchase inputs the product code with the touch scanner 9 or the keyboard 7, the electronic cash register 1 which has detected the input of the product code executes the product sales process (step S3).

At this time, this electronic cash register 1
First, as illustrated in FIG. 7, an identification code indicating that the product data is set is first set only in the journal area of the work area 18 (step P1). Then, the product data is read from the PLU table 14 of the RAM 4 with the input product code (step P2), and stored in a predetermined position set in the work area 18 in advance to perform data processing of the product sale ( Step P3). Next, the name of this product data is set in the journal area of the work area 18 in succession to the identification code, and is independently set in the receipt area (step P4), and the identification code indicating the unit price data is set in the work area. After being set at a predetermined position of 18 (step P5), the unit price data of the product data is set in the journal area of the work area 18 continuously with this identification code, and is also independently set in the receipt area (step P6).

Then, when the store clerk who repeats the registration of all the products to be sold by the data processing as described above operates the subtotal keys of the keyboard 7 (step S2), the electronic device which detects this, as illustrated in FIG. The cash register 1 executes a subtotal process (step S4).

At this time, this electronic cash register 1
As shown in FIG. 8, first, an identification code indicating that it is subtotal amount data is set in the journal area of the work area 18 continuously to the product data set in step P6, and is also set in the receipt area alone. After setting (step A1), the unit price data of a large number of registered product data is added to calculate the subtotal amount data, and the subtotal processing is executed (step A2). Is set as the journal area of the work area 18 and is independently set as the receipt area (step A3).

Then, the electronic cash register 1 which has executed the subtotal processing as described above outputs and outputs the calculated subtotal amount data on the display 6, so that the salesclerk who visually recognizes the subtotal amount data receives the money paid by the customer. When the tightening key and the numeric keypad of are operated (step S6),
As illustrated in FIG. 6, the electronic cash register 1 that has detected this executes a closing process (step S7).

At this time, this electronic cash register 1
As shown in FIG. 9, first, the work area 18 of the RAM 4 is provided with an identification code indicating that it is tax amount data.
Set only in the journal area (step B1), the tax amount data is calculated based on the subtotal amount data (step B2), and the tax amount data is set in the journal area of the work area 18 continuously with the identification code. , Set the receipt area independently (Step B
3). Next, the identification code indicating the total amount data is set only in the journal area of the work area 18 (step B4), and the total amount data is calculated based on the subtotal amount data and the tax amount data (step B4).
5) Then, this total amount of data is set in the journal area of the work area 18 in succession to the identification code, and is set in the receipt area alone (step B6).

Further, the identification code indicating that the deposit amount data is set only in the journal area of the work area 18 (step B7), and the deposit amount data keyed in is consecutively added to the identification code to the journal of the work area 18. The area is set and the receipt area is set independently (step B8). Next, an identification code indicating change data is set only in the journal area of the work area 18 (step B9), and change amount data is calculated based on the deposit amount data and the total amount data (step B10), This change amount data is set in the journal area of the work area 18 continuously with the identification code, and is also set in the receipt area alone (step B11).

Further, as illustrated in FIG. 10, an identification code indicating a receipt number is set only in the journal area of the work area 18 (step B1.
2) The receipt number serially integrated is set in the journal area of the work area 18 continuously with the identification code, and is set independently in the receipt area (step B13). Next, the identification code indicating the responsible person data is set only in the journal area of the work area 18 (step B14), and the responsible person data read from the initial setting area 17 is continuously added to the work area 18 in the work area 18. The journal area is set and the receipt area is set independently (step B15).

Further, the identification code indicating the transaction date / time data is set only in the journal area of the work area 18 (step B16), and the transaction date / time data read from the clock circuit 10 is continuously added to the work area 18 as the identification code. Of the work area 18 and the receipt area code of the work area 18 (step B18).

By doing so, receipt data consisting of a series of sales data for one transaction is generated in the receipt area of the work area 18 of the RAM 4, and data for each series of sales data for one transaction is generated in the journal area. The journal data in which the identification code for identifying the type is individually set is generated. Therefore, the receipt data stored in the receipt area of the work area 18 of the RAM 4 is sent to the receipt printer 5, and the journal data stored in the journal area is sent to the electronic journal 8 (step B19).

Then, the electronic cash register 1 storing the journal data in the electronic journal 8 as described above prints out the receipt data on the continuous paper 19 by the receipt printer 5 in a predetermined format as shown in FIG. As a result, the receipt 20 is issued and the sales operation is completed (step S8).

In the electronic cash register 1, the journal data stored in the electronic journal 8 is
A receipt classification code is added to the end of the transaction, and the transaction date / time data, responsible person number, receipt number, change amount data, deposit amount data, total amount data, tax amount data, subtotal amount data, various product data, etc. Since an identification code is individually added to the beginning of each of the sales data of, not only can the journal data be selectively read, but also the sales data of many journal data can be selectively read by a conditional expression or the like. The journal data can be used very effectively.

Moreover, in the electronic cash register 1, as described above, it is possible to automatically assign the identification code useful for the subsequent retrieval to each of the sales data in accordance with various preset conditions. Therefore, it is not necessary for the store clerk to manually perform such a thing, and it is possible to prevent the work load of the store clerk from increasing and the work efficiency from decreasing.

Then, this electronic cash register 1
Can selectively read only the desired sales data from the journal data stored in the electronic journal 8 as described above and print it out on the continuous paper 19 by the receipt printer 5. Therefore, data processing in the case where the sales data of the journal data is printed out on the continuous paper 19 and the journals 21 and 22 are issued by the electronic cash register 1 will be sequentially described below with reference to FIG.

First, in the electronic cash register 1, for example, a journal issuing mode or the like is set as an operation mode, and then a search condition for reading desired sales data is input by manual operation of the keyboard 7 (step T
1) According to this search condition, sales data that matches until the end of the data is sequentially searched from the electronic journal 8 (steps T2 to T4). Therefore, when the sales data that matches the search condition is detected in this way, the sales data is read from the electronic journal 8 (step T5), and the sales data is set to a specified print format to be printed out. Edit processing is performed in the form (step T6). Then, the sales data that has undergone the editing process is transferred to the receipt printer 5
Then, it is printed out on the continuous paper 19 to issue the journals 21 and 22 (step T7), and such work is repeated until the end of data (step T3).

By doing so, in the electronic cash register 1, as illustrated in FIG. 5A, the transaction date / time data of the journal data of one transaction, the receipt number, the product data, and the responsibility are the same as the receipt 20. A journal 21 that prints out all the person numbers and the like, or a journal 22 that omits the product data with a large number of printing lines from the sales data of the journal data of one transaction, as illustrated in FIG. Can be issued to.
Therefore, the electronic cash register 1 can selectively print out a huge amount of sales data of journal data only in a necessary portion, and thus can contribute to effective use of the journal data. Further, by doing so, it is possible to prevent unnecessary consumption of the continuous paper 19, and it is possible to shorten the printing time of the journal data.

In the electronic cash register 1 of this embodiment, the electronic journal 8 as a journal storage means is
However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, such a journal storage means may be a RAM or a PROM (Programmable
Read Only Memory) and EPROM (Erasable Programmable)
