1. A driverless data device for transferring data associated with an item and stored in a data storage unit to an item checking unit;
- said device comprising;
a. a data downloading unit configured to download said data associated with said data storage unit;
b. an interface unit coupling said driverless data device to a communications port of an item checking unit; and
c. a memory unit for storing said downloaded data attached to said item, andd. a decoder configured to decode said stored data to conform to data processing requirements of said item checking unit;
said data from said storage unit is downloadable and storable in said memory unit following a successful detachment said data storage unit from said item;
wherein a detaching device for inserting said storage unit therein enabling mechanically detaching said storage unit from said item;
said detaching device comprises a detaching signal generator for generating and forwarding a detach confirmation signal to said processing unit following a successful detachment of said storage unit from said item whereupon said processing unit instructs said downloading unit to initiate said downloading of said data.
