ABSTRACT:
A method for handling failures in an electronic price label (EPL) system which automatically diagnoses failures, and which may additionally automatically contact a support organization. The method includes the steps of transmitting a status request to a communications base station (CBS) and to an EPL by a computer, receiving a status reply from the CBS and the EPL by the computer, comparing the status message to fault data within a fault data file stored within a storage medium by the computer, and determining from the comparison whether a fault in the system has occurred.
