ABSTRACT:
An electronic cash register includes a PLU (Price-look-up) function, wherein merchandise information such as a unit cost, taxation information and classification information is preset for each commodity by an operator. For presetting the PLU code information, a "PLU" key is actuated for automatically developing a PLU code signal in a progressive order. A synthetic speech sound generation system is provided for first generating a synthetic speech respresentation of "PLU number one". Then, the synthetic speech sound generation system provides a synthetic speech representation of "unit cost" for audibly instructing an operator to introduce the unit cost information. Thereafter, synthetic speech representation of "taxation" and "classification" are provided to audibly instruct the operator of a required key operation, thereby facilitating the preset operation of the PLU code information.
