          Application 09/022,193                                                      


          First, the identification code of the operator is entered,                  
          followed by the depression of the OPERATOR key 27.  See pages 24            
          and 25 of the Appellant’s specification.  Next, of the plurality            
          of the department shift keys 24, the desired department shift key           
          24 is depressed.  In this way, the special registration process             
          is specified.  Then, of the plurality of product keys 26, the key           
          26 corresponding to the product to be registered is depressed.              
          The PLU file table 40 is searched for the PLU code 46 that                  
          matches the PLU code associated with the depressed product key              
          26, and the corresponding unit price 44a, product name 45a, and             
          product department 47 are read out.  At the same time, the amount           
          and quantity are totalized for each PLU code 46.  At this time,             
          the value of the product department is changed to the department            
          code stored in one of the areas 35a to 35c of the department                
          shift table 35 corresponding to the depressed department shift              
          key 24.  See page 25 of Appellant’s specification.                          
               Further, the amount and quantity are totalized in the                  
          department file table 39 for each department code 41 specified by           
          readout and changed product department 47.  See page 25 of                  
          Appellant’s specification.  The values of all product departments           
          47 at this time are changed to the department codes stored in               
          areas 35a to 35c of the department shift table 35 corresponding             
                                          2
