Abstract
A data processing and storage system includes semi-permanent disk storage for storing transaction data relating to a plurality of parcels. The transaction data includes character information data which is read from the parcels and scale data which is provided by an associated parcel register scale system. When the data processing and storage system is interrogated by a remote host computer, the transaction data is read from the disk and transmitted to the remote host computer for further processing.
