Embodiment Construction

[0036] The bill printing method proposed by the invention makes full use of the extensibility of XML tags, and defines a format protocol suitable for bill printing. Utilizing format protocols, it is possible to create print templates suitable for various application requirements. Parsing the print template and associating with the search database can obtain the print stream to be output. As a result, only one printing software can be used to meet the needs of various applications.

[0037] Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a text-based markup language with a wide range of uses. The embodiment of the present invention makes full use of the extensibility of XML tags, and defines a format protocol suitable for text printing.

Abstract

The invention relates to a receipt printing method and a receipt printing system. According to the method, a printing template of an extensible markup language format is acquired, wherein the printing template includes an only root element and a plurality of sub elements which can be referenced by the root element and include text sub elements and data item sub elements; the root element includes a first attribute and is used for describing a summary sheet which should be associated with summary information of a receipt, the text sub elements are fixed format information presented on the receipt, and the data item sub elements are used for indexing data from a data table, wherein the data table and the printing template are separated; and the root element and the sub elements are analyzed, data is queried from the summary table and a detailed data table according to the attributes of the elements, and printing information output to a printing buffer area is constructed. After all the sub elements are traversed, the printing information flow in the printing buffer area is sent to a printer.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to printing equipment, in particular to a bill printing system and its method. Background technique [0002] During the transaction process, service institutions usually provide customers with various forms of bills as transaction vouchers. Different service industries or different market entities provide different forms of bills according to their own needs and different transaction data information. Since the current printing system cannot be applied to various scenarios, it is necessary to customize the software for different scenarios or to change the printer model, which will greatly increase the software maintenance cost and increase the complexity of software management. [0003] The invention aims at unifying the printing software, reducing the software development and maintenance cost, and effectively solving the problem that various types of application systems print bill formats changeable. Contents of the in...
