Abstract An electronic cash register comprises a keyboard having a data input key and a void key, a central processor unit coupled to the keyboard and a read only memory coupled to the central processor unit, the read only memory having a program stored therein. A memory means is coupled to the central processor unit and includes a printing data memory for storing an input data item supplied from the data input key and the total of a plurality of the input data items. Further provided is a printing means which includes a buffer register, a printer driver and a printer for printing the plurality of input data items and the total thereof successively on a recording paper. The printing driver includes means for feeding the recording paper by one row for printing a new data item when the new data item is supplied to the buffer register, and an inhibiting means for inhibiting the one row feeding of the recording paper when the void key is depressed and for printing a correcting symbol directly on a data item printed on the paper before the new data item is supplied to the buffer register.
An electronic cash register comprising: a keyboard including a data input key and a void key; a central processor unit coupled to said keyboard; a read only memory coupled to said central processor unit and storing a program therein; a memory means coupled to said central processor unit and including a printing data memory which stores an input data item supplied from said data input key and the total of a plurality of said input data items; and printing means including a buffer register coupled to said memory means, a printer driver coupled to said buffer register and to said central processor unit, and a printer coupled to said printer driver which prints said plurality of input data items and the total thereof successively on a recording paper; said printer driver including: a feeding means for feeding said recording paper by one row for printing a new data item when said new data item is supplied to said buffer register from said printing data memory; and an inhibiting means for inhibiting said one row feeding of said recording paper when said void key is depressed and for printing a correcting symbol directly on a data item printed on said recording paper before said new data item is supplied to said buffer register.
