ABSTRACT:
An electronic price label (EPL) support method in which support of an EPL system may be provided by a main computer in a store, a host computer coupled to the main computer and other main computers in a chain of stores, or a combination of both. The support method includes a method of modifying an EPL system within a transaction establishment. The host computer creates a price look-up (PLU) batch file containing changes to a PLU data file of the store and sends it to the main computer. The main computer applies the PLU batch file. Either the host or main computer provides an EPL batch file for modifying an EPL data file in response to the changes in the PLU data file. When provided by the host, the EPL batch file may contain temporary identification numbers for new EPLs. Either the host or main computer may additionally provide overlays for new EPLs, reassigned EPLs, and replacement EPLs.
