ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for storing and retrieving data so as to facilitate performing a price look-up (PLU) function. A scanner and a retail terminal at a checkout counter are used in conjunction with a U.P.C. number on an article to be sold. An EPROM at the scanner is used to store a compressed article description which is stored by U.P.C. number. The EPROM address for a "matched" U.P.C. number is used to obtain the corresponding price data in a RAM located at the scanner itself, thereby reducing the time required to effect a PLU function.
