Abstract
A system for displaying price information for a random weight item which detects the random weight item and instructs an electronic price label to only display unit price information for the random weight item. The system includes a computer system coupled to the electronic price label, including a terminal and a storage medium coupled to the terminal. The storage medium contains an electronic price label data file, which contains identification information for an item. The computer terminal reads the electronic price label data file to obtain the identification information for the item, determines from the identification information whether the item is the random weight item, and, if the item is the random weight item, sends a message to the electronic price label instructing the electronic price label to display only unit price information.
