Abstract
This vending machine automatically deals with articles for which printed article bar codes are given. The vending machine comprises a bar code reader for reading the article bar codes, data setting mechanism for setting data required for vending the articles based on the reading of the bar codes from the bar code reader, and sales management mechanism for managing sales information regarding the articles based on the bar codes read by the bar code reader. The vending machine may set data for individual species of articles required for vending thereof and manage sales data for the individual species, instead of controlling the operations for each article column, thereby removing errors involved in the latter controlled operation.
