[0060] (Processing example) The processing performed by the processing circuit 10 of the POS terminal 1 will now be described. The processing procedures described below are merely examples, and each process may be modified as much as possible. Furthermore, steps may be omitted, replaced, or added as appropriate depending on the embodiment.

[0061] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of processing by the processing circuit 10. Here, it is assumed that transaction receipt 2 has already been issued.

[0062] The processing circuit 10 receives an instruction to reissue the transaction receipt 2 (ACT1). ACT1 may be processing by the reception means 101. In ACT1, for example, the processing circuit 10 receives a reissue instruction input by a store clerk to the POS terminal 1 using the input device 15.

[0063] In one example, POS terminal 1 is the device that issued transaction receipt 2. In this example, immediately after issuing transaction receipt 2, the store clerk selects a reprint key using input device 15. The reprint key is a button for inputting an instruction to reissue the transaction receipt 2 that was just issued. Processing circuit 10 can accept an instruction to reissue transaction receipt 2 based on the selection of the reprint key.

[0064] In another example, the POS terminal 1 is a device different from the device that issued the transaction receipt 2. In this example, the store clerk uses the reading device 14 to read a code symbol that records a transaction code included in the transaction receipt 2. The processing circuit 10 acquires the transaction code based on the reading of the code symbol. The processing circuit 10 searches for the transaction in the transaction receipt 2 that is identified by the transaction code. The processing circuit 10 can accept an instruction to reissue the transaction receipt 2 based on the store clerk's operation of the input device 15 after searching for the transaction.

[0065] The processing circuit 10 refers to the stamp display setting stored in the setting storage area 121 (ACT2). ACT2 may be processing by the issuing means 102.

[0066] If the reissue instruction is accepted, the processing circuit 10 issues a reissue receipt based on the revenue stamp display setting (ACT3). ACT3 may be processing by the issuing means 102. In ACT3, for example, the processing circuit 10 acquires transaction data about the transaction of transaction receipt 2. If the POS terminal 1 is the device that issued transaction receipt 2, the processing circuit 10 can acquire the transaction data from the transaction data storage area 122. If the POS terminal 1 is a device different from the device that issued transaction receipt 2, the processing circuit 10 can acquire transaction data about the transaction of the searched transaction receipt 2 from another device, such as a store computer. The processing circuit 10 references the transaction data and issues a reissue receipt for transaction receipt 2 based on the revenue stamp display setting.

[0067] FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the reissue receipt issuing process performed by the processing circuit 10 in ACT 3 described above. The processing circuit 10 determines the stamp display setting (ACT11). If the stamp display setting is the first setting (ACT11, YES), the processing transitions from ACT11 to ACT12. If the stamp display setting is the second setting (ACT11, NO), the processing transitions from ACT11 to ACT13. The processing circuit 10 issues a first reissue receipt or a second reissue receipt based on the stamp display setting.

[0068] If the stamp display setting is the first setting, the processing circuit 10 issues a first reissue receipt (ACT 12). In ACT 12, for example, the processing circuit 10 issues the first reissue receipt 4 by causing the printing device 17 to print on a medium.

[0069] If the stamp display setting is the second setting, the processing circuit 10 issues a second reissue receipt (ACT 13). In ACT 13, for example, the processing circuit 10 issues the second reissue receipt 5 by causing the printing device 17 to print on a medium.

[0070] FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of processing performed by the processing circuit 10 to change the stamp display setting. The processing circuit 10 acquires change information input to the POS terminal 1 (ACT21). ACT21 may be processing by the change means 103. The change information is information for changing the stamp display setting. Changing the stamp display setting includes changing the stamp display setting to a first setting or a second setting. In ACT21, for example, the processing circuit 10 may acquire change information input by receiving change information transmitted from another device such as a store computer at any timing. The processing circuit 10 may also acquire change information input by a store clerk using the input device 15.

[0071] If the processing circuit 10 acquires change information (ACT21, YES), the processing transitions from ACT21 to ACT 22. If the processing circuit 10 does not acquire change information (ACT21, NO), the processing circuit 10 waits for change information.

[0072] The processing circuit 10 changes the stamp display setting based on the input change information (ACT22). ACT22 may be processing by the change means 103. In ACT22, for example, the processing circuit 10 changes the stamp display setting to the first setting or the second setting based on the change information.

[0073] As described above, the POS terminal 1 can issue a reissue receipt based on the stamp display setting. For example, the POS terminal 1 can issue a first reissue receipt or a reissue receipt including a second stamp display based on the stamp display setting. This allows the POS terminal 1 to control whether or not to display a revenue stamp on a reissue receipt based on the revenue stamp display setting. Even if the transaction receipt is a receipt that includes a revenue stamp, the POS terminal 1 can issue a first reissue receipt that does not include a revenue stamp. Because the first reissue receipt does not include a revenue stamp, its length is shorter than that of the second reissue receipt. This reduces receipt consumption. Furthermore, because the first reissue receipt does not include a revenue stamp, operations regarding revenue stamps at stores are improved. For example, it is possible to prevent mistakes such as affixing a revenue stamp to a reissue receipt.

[0074] The POS terminal 1 can change the stamp display settings based on the input change information. This allows the store to change the stamp display setting depending on whether or not the reissued receipt should display a stamp.

[0075] <Other embodiments> In the above embodiment, the POS terminal 1, where a store clerk can perform product registration and transaction operations, was described as an example of a receipt issuing device, but this is not limited to this. A receipt issuing device can be any device that is at least capable of issuing receipts.

[0076] The units implemented by the processing circuit 10 described in the above embodiment may be implemented by a server capable of communicating with the POS terminal 1. In this case, the server is an example of a receipt issuing device.

[0077] The units implemented by the processing circuit 10 described in the above embodiment are not limited to being implemented in a single device such as the POS terminal 1. The units may also be distributed across multiple devices. In this case, the collection of multiple devices is an example of a receipt issuing device.

[0078] The above-described embodiments may be applied to a method executed by one or more devices. The above-described embodiments may be applied to a program that can cause a computer of one or more devices to execute each function. The above-described embodiments may be applied to a recording medium that stores the program.

[0079] Each of the one or more circuits constituting the processing circuit performs one or more of the multiple processes. When the processing circuit is composed of a single circuit, the single circuit performs all of the multiple processes. When the processing circuit is composed of multiple circuits, each of the multiple circuits performs a part of the multiple processes. The part of the multiple processes may be one of the multiple processes, or two or more of the multiple processes. When the processing circuit is composed of multiple circuits, the multiple circuits may be included in a single device or may be distributed across multiple devices.

[0080] The program may be transferred in a state where it is stored in the device according to the embodiment, or may be transferred in a state where it is not stored in the device. In the latter case, the program may be transferred via a network, or may be transferred in a state where it is recorded on a recording medium. The recording medium is a non-transitory tangible medium. The recording medium is a computer-readable medium. The recording medium may be in any form, such as a CD-ROM or a memory card, as long as it is capable of storing the program and is computer-readable.

[0081] Although several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
