Abstract
A shelf tag printing system includes a portable terminal in radio communication with a base station and a portable printer in wireless communication with the portable terminal. The portable terminal has a bar code scanner which reads product bar codes for radio transmission to the base station. The base station responds with informational signals indicating legends to be printed upon shelf tags by the printer. These signals are received by the portable terminal and relayed to the printer. Communication between the portable terminal and the printer is one-way via a surface wave acoustic resonator in the portable terminal and an amplifier sequenced hybrid receiver in the printer.
