Abstract
Abstract There is disclosed a re-price marking method and record member. Using one record member such as a ticket, tag or label, fields of data, such as inventory control, style and price data fields are printed on the one record member. Each field has both binary code machine readable data and human readable data. Re-price marking is accomplished by printing a new price in both binary code machine readable price data and human readable price data on another record member, and adhesively securing the other record member over the price field on the one record member but not over the other field or fields on the one record member. The result is a re-price marked binary code and human readable record member.
