Abstract
Abstract An electronic cash register includes a mode selection circuit for selectively placing the electronic cash register in a training mode. A memory of the electronic cash register includes an accumulation section for accumulating the transaction data registered in a normal registration mode, and a training mode memory section for storing the transaction data registered in the training mode. In the training mode, a predetermined symbol, for example, "TR" is printed on a receipt slip for indicating the training mode. The normal registration operation and the training operation are controlled by programs stored in a programmable read only memory which is associated with a central processor unit.
