Description

  Embodiments described herein relate generally to a label printer and a control program thereof.

  There is known a label printer that issues a label formed by printing a product name or a price on a label sheet.

  Some label printers have a function of recording actual data in order to make it possible to confirm the actual results of label issuance.

  The past performance data has been configured as a set of records in which various types of information represented by issued labels such as product names and amounts are arranged in a predetermined order. The amount of money includes the same value as the amount of money shown on the label. In other words, in the actual data, the amount including tax is included when the amount including tax is shown on the label, and the amount including tax is included when the amount including tax is displayed on the label.

  Now, even when a product is sold at the same store, there are a case where a tax-included amount is displayed depending on a product and a case where a tax-excluded amount is displayed. In other words, the same label printer may issue both a label representing the amount including tax and a label representing the amount excluding tax.

  In this case, the actual data includes a mixed amount including the tax amount and the tax-excluded amount, which may cause inconvenience in subsequent management.

  Under such circumstances, it has been desired that record data that uniformly includes the same amount of money can be recorded regardless of the type of money represented on the label.

JP 2000-020829 A

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a label printer capable of recording performance data that uniformly includes the same amount of money regardless of the amount of money represented on the label, and a control program therefor.

The label printer according to the embodiment includes a storage unit, an issue unit, a setting unit, a generation unit, and an update unit. Storing means stores the type of label to be issued for each commodity. If the type stored in the storage means for the product to be pasted is a domestic tax label, the issuing means issues a label as a voluntary display of the tax-included price, and stores the product to be pasted. If the type stored in the means is an external tax label, the label is issued as an independent display of the tax-excluded price . The setting means sets, as the storage type, whether the amount of money for the issued label is the amount including tax or the amount before tax. In response to the issuing means issuing the label , the generating means displays the label if the amount that the issuing means represents on the label is a tax-included amount, and the setting means sets the tax-included amount as a storage type. The amount of tax included in the above is included in the label if the amount of money that the issuer proactively represented on the label is tax-inclusive and the amount of tax-excluded is set as the storage type by the setting means The tax-excluded amount is the amount that the issuing means has independently represented in the label is the tax-excluded amount, and if the tax-excluded amount is set as the storage type by the setting means, the tax-excluded amount indicated in the label is If the amount that the issuing means represents on the label is the tax-excluded amount, and the amount including tax is set as the storage type by the setting means, the amount including the tax-excluded amount that corresponds to the tax-excluded amount indicated on the label The To generate a record that contains as save money. The updating unit updates the performance data with the record generated by the generating unit.

  Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a label printer 100 according to this embodiment. The label printer 100 includes a central processing unit (CPU) 1, a read only memory (ROM) 2, a random access memory (RAM) 3, an auxiliary storage device 4, a clock unit 5, a touch panel 6, a print device 7, a memory interface 8, and a USB. (Universal serial bus) interface 9, LAN (local area network) interface 10 and transmission system 11 are included. The transmission system 11 transmits data among the CPU 1, ROM 2, RAM 3, auxiliary storage device 4, clock unit 5, touch panel 6, print device 7, memory interface 8, USB interface 9, and LAN interface 10. The transmission system 11 may be a well-known system including various buses such as a system bus and various interface circuits that connect these buses and each unit.

  The CPU 1, ROM 2 and RAM 3 are connected by a transmission system 11 to constitute a computer.

  The CPU 1 corresponds to the central part of the computer. The CPU 1 controls each unit to implement various functions of the label printer 100 based on the operating system and application programs stored in the ROM 2.

  The ROM 2 corresponds to the main storage portion of the computer. The ROM 2 stores an operating system and application programs. The ROM 2 may store data that the CPU 1 refers to when performing various processes. One of the application programs is a control program for causing the CPU 1 to execute setting processing and issuing processing described later. At least a part of the application program may be stored in the auxiliary storage device 4. In this case, the label printer 100 is transferred with the application program stored in the auxiliary storage device 4. Alternatively, the label printer 100 is transferred in a state where the application program is not stored in the auxiliary storage device 4, and is recorded on a removable recording medium such as a magnetic disk, a magneto-optical disk, an optical disk, a semiconductor memory, or the network. The application program may be transferred to the auxiliary storage device 4 of the label printer 100 separately transferred.

  The RAM 3 corresponds to the main storage portion of the computer. The RAM 3 stores data to be referred to when the CPU 1 performs various processes. Further, the RAM 3 is used as a so-called work area in which data temporarily used when the CPU 1 performs various processes is stored.

  The auxiliary storage device 4 corresponds to the auxiliary storage portion of the computer. The auxiliary storage device 4 stores data used when the CPU 1 performs various processes and data generated by the processes in the CPU 1. The auxiliary storage device 4 may store an application program as described above. As the auxiliary storage device 4, for example, an EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) is applied. An HDD (hard disk drive) or an SSD (solid state drive) can also be applied. The data stored in the auxiliary storage device 4 includes a PLU file 4a and setting data 4b.

  The PLU file 4a describes information about a product to be attached with a label issued by the label printer 100. What information the PLU file 4a includes is arbitrary, but includes, for example, a product code, a product name, a sales price, and the like. In the present embodiment, the PLU file 4a includes information indicating for each product which of the internal tax label and the external tax label should be issued. The PLU file 4a is fetched from the host computer 400 via the LAN interface 10 or the USB interface 9, for example. Alternatively, a PLU file stored in the memory card 200 or the USB memory 300 from the host computer 400 or the like may be taken in via the memory interface 8 or the USB interface 9.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a structure example of the setting data 4b.

  The setting data 4b includes storage type information in association with each of “(internal tax) label total additional amount” and “(external tax) label total additional amount”. The information of the storage type is either “tax-included amount” or “tax-excluded amount”.

  The clock unit 5 measures the current date and time.

  The touch panel 6 includes a display device 61 and a touch sensor 62. The display device 61 displays an arbitrary screen such as a GUI screen. As the display device 61, a known device such as a color LCD (liquid crystal display) can be used. The touch sensor 62 is disposed so as to overlap the display surface of the display device 61. The touch sensor 62 detects the user's touch position on the display surface of the display device 61 and sends the position information to the CPU 1. As the touch sensor 62, for example, a known device such as a resistive film type can be used.

  The print device 7 prints label data on a label sheet. The label data is image information representing information to be displayed on the label. Specifically, the print device 7 includes a transport mechanism, a print head, and a platen. The transport mechanism transports the label roll paper in which the label papers are arranged at equal intervals on the belt-like mount via the adhesive layer. In the middle of the label roll paper conveyance path, the print head and the platen are arranged to face each other with the label roll paper interposed therebetween. The print head prints label data on label paper. The label paper on which the label data is printed is peeled off from the mount on the downstream side of the print head and discharged from the label issuing port. As a result, a label obtained by printing the label data on the label sheet is issued.

  The memory interface 8 is detachable from the memory card 200. The memory interface 8 reads data stored in the memory card 200. The memory interface 8 writes data to the memory card 200. As the memory card 200, for example, an SD memory card can be used, and as the memory interface 8, an existing controller compliant with the SD standard can be used.

  The USB interface 9 exchanges data with various devices compliant with the USB standard. A device connected to the USB interface 9 is, for example, a USB memory 300. The USB memory 300 is used for storing the record data 300a. The record data can also be stored in the memory card 200.

  The LAN interface 10 performs LAN communication with the host computer 400. Communication with the host computer 400 can also be performed via the USB interface 9.

  Next, the operation of the label printer 100 will be described.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart of the CPU 1 in the setting process. The CPU 1 executes the setting process shown in FIG. 3 by executing the control program stored in the ROM 2 or the auxiliary storage device 4. The CPU 1 starts this setting process in response to a request for changing the setting of the storage type by a predetermined operation. Note that the content of the setting process described below is an example, and the order of the processes can be changed as appropriate, or various processes that can obtain similar results can be used.

  In Act1, the CPU 1 controls the display device 61 and displays a setting screen. The setting screen displayed here is a GUI screen for receiving a user instruction for setting the storage type.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a setting screen 61a as an example.

  The setting screen 61a includes a first display area 61b and a second display area 61c. The first display area 61b represents the content of the storage type associated with “(inclusive tax) label total addition amount” in the setting data. The second display area 61c represents the content of the storage type associated with the “(external tax) label total addition amount” in the setting data 4b. The setting screen 61a is a case where “tax included amount” is set as the storage type for both “(internal tax) label total added amount” and “(external tax) label total added amount”.

  In Act 2, the CPU 1 confirms whether or not the touch panel 6 has been touched. If the touch sensor 62 has not detected a touch, the CPU 1 determines NO and returns to Act2. That is, the CPU 1 waits for the touch panel 6 to be touched in Act2. When the touch panel 6 is touched by the user, the touch sensor 62 sends position information representing the touch position to the CPU 1. Therefore, the CPU 1 determines YES in Act 2 when the position information is sent from the touch sensor 62 in this way, and proceeds to Act 3.

  In Act 3, the CPU 1 confirms whether or not the position of the touch by the user is inside the first display area 61b. Then, the CPU 1 determines YES if the position information sent from the touch sensor 62 indicates the position inside the first display area 61b as described above, and proceeds to Act4.

  In Act 4, the CPU 1 controls the display device 61 and displays a list box. The list box represents a list of storage type options.

  FIG. 5 shows a display example of the list box 61d.

  In the display example of FIG. 5, a list box 61d is displayed over the setting screen 61a. The CPU 1 sets the display position of the list box 61d close to the first display area 61b and does not hide the display contents in the first display area 61b.

  In Act 5, the CPU 1 checks whether any of the options shown in the list box 61d has been touched. Then, if the touch sensor 62 has not detected a touch at a position corresponding to any of the options shown in the list box 61d, the CPU 1 determines NO and returns to Act5. That is, the CPU 1 waits for an option to be touched in Act5. When one of the options is touched by the user and the position information of the corresponding position is sent from the touch sensor 62 to the CPU 1, the CPU 1 determines YES in Act 5, and proceeds to Act 6.

  In Act 6, the CPU 1 updates the setting data 4 b so that the touched option is the storage type associated with “(inclusive tax) label total addition amount”. For example, if “tax included amount” is touched in the list box 61d, the CPU 1 sets the setting data 4b so that the content of the storage type associated with “(inclusive tax) label total added amount” is “tax included amount”. Update. If “tax-excluded amount” is touched, the setting data 4 b is updated so that the content of the storage type associated with “(inclusive tax) label total added amount” is set to “tax-excluded amount”. The CPU 1 may omit the update of the setting data 4b if the touched option is the same as the storage type already indicated in the setting data.

  In Act 7, the CPU 1 updates the setting screen displayed on the display device 61 so as to represent the contents of the updated setting data 4b.

  And CPU1 will return to the standby state of Act2, if the setting screen is updated.

  If the CPU 1 determines NO in Act 3 because the touch position on the setting screen is not inside the first display area 61b, the CPU 1 proceeds to Act 8.

  In Act 8, the CPU 1 confirms whether or not the touch position on the setting screen is inside the second display area 61c. If the position information sent from the touch sensor 62 indicates the position inside the second display area 61c, the CPU 1 determines YES and proceeds to Act9. Note that if the CPU 1 determines NO in Act 8 because the touch position on the setting screen is not inside the second display area 61c, the CPU 1 proceeds to processing according to the touch position. Since this processing is not related to the characteristic operation in the present application, description thereof is omitted here.

  In Act 9, the CPU 1 controls the display device 61 to display the list box 61d in a position close to the second display area 61c and not hiding the display content in the second display area 61c.

  In Act 10, the CPU 1 confirms whether any of the options shown in the list box 61d has been touched. If the touch sensor 62 has not detected a touch at a position corresponding to any of the options shown in the list box 61d, the CPU 1 determines NO and returns to Act 10. That is, the CPU 1 waits for an option to be touched in Act 10. When any of the options is touched by the user and the position information of the corresponding position is sent from the touch sensor 62 to the CPU 1, the CPU 1 determines YES in Act 10 and proceeds to Act 11.

  In Act 11, the CPU 1 updates the setting data 4 b so that the touched option is the storage type associated with “(external tax) label total addition amount”. For example, if “tax included amount” is touched in the list box 61d, the CPU 1 sets the setting data 4b so that the content of the storage type associated with “(external tax) label total added amount” is “tax included amount”. If “Tax Excluded” is touched, the setting data 4b is updated so that the content of the storage type associated with “(External Tax) Label Total Added Amount” is set to “Tax Excluded”. The CPU 1 may omit the update of the setting data 4b if the touched option is the same as the storage type already indicated in the setting data.

  In Act 12, the CPU 1 updates the setting screen displayed on the display device 61 so as to represent the contents of the updated setting data 4b.

  And CPU1 will return to the standby state of Act2, if the setting screen is updated.

  As described above, the CPU 1 designates “tax-included amount” or “tax-excluded amount” as the storage type for each of “(inclusive tax) label total added amount” and “(external tax) label total added amount”. Set individually according to. Thus, when the CPU 1 executes the above setting process based on the control program, the computer having the CPU 1 as a central part functions as a setting means.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the CPU 1 in the issuing process. By executing the control program stored in the ROM 2 or the auxiliary storage device 4, the CPU 1 executes the issuing process shown in FIG. The CPU 1 starts the issuing process in response to a request for activation of the label issuing function by a predetermined touch operation by the user on the touch panel 6. Note that the contents of the issuing process described below is an example, and the order of the processes can be changed as appropriate, or various processes that can obtain similar results can be used.

  In Act 21, the CPU 1 sets conditions regarding the label to be issued in accordance with a user instruction. The conditions set here are information to be displayed on a label such as a product name, a format to be applied, a score, or a distinction between an internal tax label and an external tax label. The CPU 1 may fetch condition data representing conditions set using a setting tool in the host computer 400 connected to the LAN interface 10 or the USB interface 9 via the LAN interface 10 or the USB interface 9. . Alternatively, the CPU 1 may fetch the condition data set by the host computer 400 or the like and stored in the memory card 200 or the USB memory 300 via the memory interface 8 or the USB interface 9.

  As shown in FIG. 7, for example, the internal tax label represents the internal tax amount as the main amount, or represents only the internal tax amount. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the external tax label represents the external tax amount as a main amount as an amount, or represents only the external tax amount. That is, the tax-inclusive price is set as the display type when the internal tax label is issued, and the tax-excluded price is set as the display type when the external tax label is issued. The distinction between the internal tax label and the external tax label is typically determined for each product in the PLU file 4a. However, in Act 21, a distinction between the internal tax label and the external tax label may be determined in accordance with a user instruction.

  In Act 22, the CPU 1 issues a label according to the conditions set in Act 21. Specifically, the CPU 1 generates label data to be printed on a label according to the conditions, and controls the print device 7 to print this label data on a label sheet. When a value of 2 or more is set as the score, the CPU 1 controls the print device 7 to print the same label data on different label sheets. When the CPU 1 completes label issuance in accordance with the conditions set in Act 21, the process proceeds to Act23. Thus, the label is issued by the operation of the print device 7 under the control of the CPU 1 based on the control program, and the issuing means is realized by the cooperation of the computer having the CPU 1 as a central part and the print device 7.

  In Act 23, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the label issued this time is a domestic tax label (printed with an amount including tax). Then, if the internal tax label has been issued, the CPU 1 determines YES and proceeds to Act 24.

  In Act 24, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the amount to be recorded in the performance data regarding the issuance of the domestic tax label is the amount including tax. Then, the CPU 1 determines YES if the content of the storage type associated with “(inclusive tax) label total added amount” is “tax included amount” in the setting data 4 b, and proceeds to Act 25.

  In Act 25, the CPU 1 sets the amount of money represented solely on the label or the amount represented as the subject (hereinafter referred to as the printing amount) as the stored amount as it is. Thereafter, the CPU 1 proceeds to Act 30.

  If the content of the storage type associated with “(inclusive tax) label total addition amount” is “tax-excluded amount” in the setting data 4b, the CPU 1 determines NO in Act 24 and proceeds to Act 26. .

  In Act 26, the CPU 1 sets an amount obtained by subtracting the tax amount from the printing amount as a storage amount. Thereafter, the CPU 1 proceeds to Act 30. If the tax-excluded amount according to the print amount is known due to the fact that the tax-excluded amount is set in the condition setting of Act 21, the tax-excluded amount may be set as the stored amount as it is.

  By the way, if the label issued this time is a foreign tax label (printed with the tax-excluded amount), the CPU 1 determines NO in Act 23 and proceeds to Act 27.

  In Act 27, the CPU 1 determines whether or not the amount recorded in the performance data regarding the issuance of the external tax label is a tax-excluded amount. Then, the CPU 1 determines YES if the content of the storage type associated with “(excluding tax) label total added amount” is “tax excluded amount” in the setting data 4 b, and proceeds to Act 28.

  In Act 28, the CPU 1 sets the printing amount as the storage amount as it is. Thereafter, the CPU 1 proceeds to Act 30.

  If the content of the storage type associated with the “(external tax) label total added amount” is “tax included amount” in the setting data 4b, the CPU 1 determines NO in Act 27 and proceeds to Act 29.

  In Act 29, the CPU 1 sets the amount obtained by adding the tax amount to the printing amount as the storage amount. Thereafter, the CPU 1 proceeds to Act 30. If the tax-included amount corresponding to the print amount is already known due to circumstances such as setting the tax-included amount in the condition setting of Act 21, the tax-included amount may be set as the stored amount as it is.

  In Act 30, the CPU 1 updates the record data 300a so as to include information on the current label issuance. The record data 300a is, for example, a set of records in which information of a plurality of items including the amount related to the issued label as one item is arranged in a predetermined order. The CPU 1 arranges information related to the label issued this time to generate a new record, and updates the result data 300 a by adding this to the result data 300 a stored in the USB memory 300.

  When the CPU 1 executes the above determination process (Act 23, 24, 27), the computer having the CPU 1 as a central part functions as a determination unit. In addition, when the CPU 1 executes the processes of Acts 25, 26, 28, 29, and 30 based on the control program, the computer having the CPU 1 as a central part functions as an updating unit. The updating means updates the performance data so as to include the tax-included amount or the tax-excluded amount as the stored amount according to the determination result determined by the determining unit.

  FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the structure of records included in the record data 300a.

  In the example illustrated in FIG. 9, one record is configured including fields such as a product code, a product name, a score, a quantity, an amount, and an expiration date. The CPU 1 generates a record including the storage amount set in any of Acts 25, 26, 28, and 29 as the value of the amount field, and adds this to the record data 300a.

  Note that the CPU 1 has a code for identifying a product to be affixed with a label issued this time, the name of the product, the number of labels to be issued, one package in each field of the product code, product name, score, quantity, and expiration date. Include the quantity of goods inherent in and the expiry date or expiry date.

  And CPU1 will complete | finish this issuing process, if it completes updating the performance data 300a.

  By executing the control program stored in the ROM 2 or the auxiliary storage device 4, the CPU 1 realizes an inspection function. Although description of the processing of the CPU 1 that realizes this inspection function is omitted, the CPU 1 reads the performance data 300a from the USB memory 300 and displays the browsing screens 61e and 61f as shown in FIGS. Let

  The browsing screen 61e is based on the record data 300a in which the amount including tax is recorded when the label shown in FIG. 7 is issued, and “100” which is the amount including tax is displayed in the display area 61g. The browsing screen 61e is based on the record data 300a in which the tax-excluded amount is recorded when the label shown in FIG. 7 is issued, and the display area 61g displays “96” as the tax-excluded amount. .

Thus, according to the label printer 100, the user sets “tax included amount” as the storage type associated with each of “(inclusive tax) label total added amount” and “(external tax) label total added amount”. In this case, regardless of whether the domestic tax label or the external tax label is issued, only the amount including tax is recorded in the result data 300a. In addition, if the user sets “tax-excluded amount” as the storage type associated with each of “(inclusive tax) label total added amount” and “(external tax) label total added amount”, the internal tax label No matter which tax label is issued, only the tax-excluded amount is recorded in the result data 300a. Therefore, even if both the internal tax label and the external tax label are issued using the label printer 100, the tax-included amount and the tax-excluded amount are not mixed in the result data 300a.
As a result, when the subsequent management is performed based on the record data 300a, it is not determined whether the recorded amount is the tax-included amount or the tax-excluded amount, and the management becomes easy.

  Moreover, according to the label printer 100, the user can arbitrarily determine whether the amount recorded in the record data 300a is unified with the amount including tax or the amount before tax. Operation is possible.

  Furthermore, according to the label printer 100, if the user sets the storage types associated with “(inclusive tax) label total additional amount” and “(external tax) label total additional amount” to be different from each other, It is also possible to record the actual amount data 300a with the amount including tax and the amount excluding tax. As a result, for example, it is possible to operate in such a manner that the amount of money represented on the label as is conventionally recorded in the record data 300a as it is, and it is possible to flexibly respond to user needs.

  This embodiment can be variously modified as follows.

  Only one common storage type may be set when either an internal tax label or an external tax label is issued. In this case, in the setting process shown in FIG. 3, the processes of Act8 to Act12 may be omitted. In the issuing process shown in FIG. 6, the determination of Act 24 and Act 27 may be performed with reference to the one storage type.

Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the invention.
