ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a copy service accounting device for simplifying a copy service process both for store clerks and customers. When a determined card-like sheet is inserted through a slit of the copy service accounting device connected to a copying machine, the copy service accounting device outputs a copy enabling signal to the copying machine. Data on a number of copies for each copy size is sent from the copying machine to the copy service accounting device, which counts up and stores the number. When copying is finished and a completion switch is pushed, the copy service accounting device calculates a total charge on the basis of the stored number and a unit charge on each copy size. The calculated total charge is printed in bar code form on the card-like sheet, which is then ejected through the slit. When the bar code is read by a bar code reader at a cash register, the charge is immediately registered in the cash register. Thus the copy service process becomes significantly simplified.
