  • Publication number: 20090283593
    Abstract: A merchandise sales data processing apparatus has a scanning section, a facing section and a settlement section laterally arrayed in an X-direction. A shop assistant stands a position that is side by side to the merchandise sales data processing apparatus in a Y-direction. A customer comes to a position that is side by side to the merchandise sales data processing apparatus in the Y-direction on the opposite side. The customer places a shopping basket with an article in it, on the top surface of the facing section. The shop assistant takes the article out of the shopping basket. The shop assistant moves the article in the Y-direction through the space above the facing section. The shop assistant causes the scanning section to optically scan an article code formed as a code symbol attached to the article. The shop assistant carries out settlement based on the article code scanned by the scanning section, by using the settlement section.
