Abstract

According to one embodiment, a tax calculation apparatus includes a display, a printer and a processor. The processor is configured to execute processes of accepting a tax calculation operation by a user; deriving tax calculation result data by executing a calculation based on a numerical data, in response to a input of the numerical data and the acceptance of the tax calculation operation, causing the display to display the tax calculation result data, and causing the printer to print tax calculation print data including the tax calculation result data and tax amount data corresponding to the tax calculation result data; and causing the display to display the tax amount data without printing, if the tax calculation operation is accepted in a state in which the tax calculation result data is displayed on the display.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A tax calculation apparatus comprising a display, a printer, a plurality of keys including a print designation key and a tax designation key, and a processor, the processor being configured to execute processes of:
judging whether a print mode is set in response to a user operation on one of the plurality of keys other than the print designation key;
inputting numerical data in accordance with a user operation on at least one of the plurality of keys after the judging;
accepting a tax operation by a user on the tax designation key;
deriving tax calculation result data by executing a calculation based on the numerical data, in response to the input of the numerical data and the acceptance of a first tax operation as the tax operation on the tax designation key, causing the display to display the tax calculation result data, and causing the printer to automatically print tax calculation print data including the tax calculation result data and tax amount data corresponding to the tax calculation result data without a user operation on the print designation key if the print mode is set; and
causing the display to shift from the displaying of the tax calculation result data to displaying of the tax amount data, and preventing the printer from printing the tax calculation print data again when a second tax operation on the tax designation key is performed after the first tax operation, even if the print mode is set.

2. The tax calculation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute:
a process of setting the print mode or a non-print mode in accordance with a user operation, and
the process of causing the printer to automatically print the tax calculation print data if the print mode is set, and preventing the printer form printing the tax calculation print data if the non-print mode is set.

3. The tax calculation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to execute processes of:
registering, as calculation operation data, the input numerical data and tax calculation data corresponding to the accepted tax operation;
accepting a check operation in accordance with a user operation;
causing the display to display the tax calculation result data or the tax amount data, based on the registered calculation operation data, if the check operation is accepted;
accepting a print designation operation in accordance with a user operation on the print designation key; and
causing the printer to print tax calculation print data including the tax calculation result data and the tax amount data, based on the registered calculation operation data, if the print designation operation is accepted.

4. The tax calculation apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the processor is configured to execute a process of correcting, in accordance with a user operation, the numerical data of the registered calculation operation data, and
the process of causing the printer to print the tax calculation print data based on the registered calculation operation data includes printing, if the print designation operation is accepted after the numerical data was corrected, tax calculation print data including the corrected numerical data, tax calculation result data calculated based on the calculation operation data of the tax calculation data corresponding to the accepted tax operation, and tax amount data corresponding to the tax calculation result data.

5. The tax calculation apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the process of causing the printer to print the tax calculation print data based on the registered calculation operation data includes printing the tax calculation print data by adding a mark indicative of a print start of registered data, if the print designation operation is accepted.

6. A tax calculation method of a tax calculation apparatus comprising a display, a plurality of keys including a print designation key and a tax designation key, and a printer, the method comprising:
inputting numerical data in accordance with a user operation;
judging whether a print mode is set in response to a user operation on one of the plurality of keys except the print designation key;
accepting a tax operation by a user on the tax designation key;
deriving tax calculation result data by executing a calculation based on the numerical data, in response to the input of the numerical data and the acceptance of a first tax operation as the tax operation on the tax designation key, causing the display to display the tax calculation result data, and causing the printer to automatically print tax calculation print data including the tax calculation result data and tax amount data corresponding to the tax calculation result data without a user operation on the print designation key if the print mode is set; and
causing the display to shift from the displaying of the tax calculation result data to displaying of the tax amount data, and preventing the printer from printing the tax calculation print data again when a second tax operation with the tax designation key is performed after the first tax operation, even if the print mode is set.

7. The tax calculation method of claim 6 , further comprising setting the print mode or a non-print mode in accordance with a user operation,
wherein the printer is prevented from printing the tax calculation print data if the non-print mode is set.

8. The tax calculation method of claim 6 , further comprising:
registering, as calculation operation data, the input numerical data and tax calculation data corresponding to the accepted tax operation;
accepting a check operation in accordance with a user operation;
causing the display to display the tax calculation result data or the tax amount data, based on the registered calculation operation data, if the check operation is accepted;
accepting a print designation operation in accordance with a user operation on the print designation key; and
causing the printer to print tax calculation print data including the tax calculation result data and the tax amount data, based on the registered calculation operation data, if the print designation operation is accepted.

9. The tax calculation method of claim 8 , further comprising:
correcting, in accordance with a user operation, the numerical data of the registered calculation operation data,
wherein said causing the printer to print the tax calculation print data based on the registered calculation operation data includes printing, if the print designation operation is accepted after the numerical data was corrected, tax calculation print data including the corrected numerical data, tax calculation result data calculated based on the calculation operation data of the tax calculation data corresponding to the accepted tax operation, and tax amount data corresponding to the tax calculation result data.

10. The tax calculation method of claim 8 , wherein said causing the printer to print the tax calculation print data based on the registered calculation operation data includes printing the tax calculation print data by adding a mark indicative of a print start of registered data, if the print designation operation is accepted.

11. A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium which stores a program for causing a computer comprising a display, a plurality of keys including a print designation key and a tax designation key, and a printer, to execute processes of:
inputting numerical data in accordance with a user operation;
judging whether a print mode is set in response to a user operation on one of the plurality of keys except the print designation key;
accepting a tax operation by a user on the tax designation key;
deriving tax calculation res
