In a terminal system having a printing function for printing additional
information about special events, introductions, or advertising to sales
receipts issued by a convenience store or kiosk when a purchase is made,
or to queuing number tickets issued to customers waiting in a bank,
customers can select information of personal interest from a list of
advertising information so that the selected information is printed to
the receipt or ticket issued by the system. A functional terminal of a
POS system having an input device, printer, display, and controller for
use in various applications comprises a display for presenting plural
advertising information entries, a means for selecting desired entries
from the displayed list, and a means for printing the selected
information to a receipt issued by the terminal device. Information
wanted by the customer can thus be selectively printed with the sales
transaction information normally printed to the receipt that is handed to
the customer.
