Abstract

See full text

A preferred embodiment of the invention is specifically configured to allow a printer's or a user's account to accumulate a credit balance and for all or a portion of this balance to be presented to the corresponding user or users as a collection of 'points'. If the printer account has a credit balance, then the corresponding points may be redeemed by the user or users for particular products or services. Users thereby learn to associate fee-earning activities in relation to the printer, such as the printing of advertising and online purchasing, with the accumulation of points, thus maximising the likelihood that a particular printer will not become a cost burden to its provider.
