Service bargain announcement in an electronic cash register

摘要

An electronic cash register includes a synthetic speech sound generation system for providing an audible announcement related to a bargain article of the present day and a next service day. The synthetic speech sound generation system is activated when a total key is actuated to complete one set of registration of transaction data assigned to one customer. The synthetic speech sound generation system is alternatively actuated at preselected times. The next service day information is also applied to a printer system for printing out the next service day on a receipt slip. The bargain article to be announced and the date information of the next service day are preset through the use of function keys and numeral keys included in the electronic cash register.
