ABSTRACT:
A system and method for printing overlays for electronic display devices which prints overlays when an item is associated with an electronic shelf display. A database contains identification information for the products associated with the electronic shelf displays and identification information for the electronic shelf displays. A computer terminal retrieves the product information associated with the electronic shelf displays from the database and sends the product information to the printer in a queue. A printer prints the overlays. In a first embodiment, the printing occurs in a store. In a second embodiment, the printing occurs outside the store, preferably by the vendor of the electronic shelf displays. For this purpose, a computer terminal at the store downloads product information to another computer terminal located with the vendor. The vendor takes care of printing the overlays and attaching the overlays to the electronic shelf displays in order to reduce the store labor required to install the system.
