Abstract

A method of sending information to an electronic price label (EPL) for display which requires only one message to be sent to the EPL. Second information is recorded in response to an operator request to change first information displayed by the EPL. The second information includes predetermined characters within a group of characters including numerals 0-9, letters A-Z, blanks, and predetermined symbols. The second information is encoded into a word using a number of translation tables. The word is sent to the EPL in a single wireless message. The word is received by the EPL. The word is decoded by the EPL using the translation tables. Finally, the second information is displayed by the EPL.
