  • Patent number: 5659740
    Abstract: This system is applied to a VAS having, as members, apparel makers which manage goods using apparel numbers and retail shops which manage goods using shop goods codes. The system tally manages the goods of all the members using unity codes. The apparel numbers are corrected as needed, and the corrected apparel numbers are incorporated in a unity code system. A code conversion table representing a correspondence between the unity code and the apparel number or the shop goods code is prepared. When this code conversion table is looked up, a management code is converted between the apparel number, the shop goods code, and the unity code, all of which represent the same goods.

  • Patent number: 5421660
    Abstract: An output mechanism printer which prints characters and images on recording paper includes an input path along which a sheet of paper is conveyed towards the printing unit, a cylindrical platen roller having a longitudinal axis of rotation which is orthogonal to the input direction, and an output device which moves the sheet in the same direction as the input direction, and then automatically moves the paper directly parallel to the longitudinal axis of the platen until it is outside the printer.
