Personal Print Accounts
This feature allows business travelers and mobile executives to securely print from any computer
or mobile device to any HotSpot Printer at any location on a HotSpot Printer provider’s network
by establishing a WebPay 2.0
Personal pre-paid debit account
with the HotSpot Printer service
provider. Using a standard credit
card, a user deposits funds into a
WebPay account. Then, whenever
a document is printed, the job cost
is debited from the account. The
user simply logs into their prepaid
account rather than entering a
credit card number for each
transaction. Imagine you are a
sales representative covering
several states or even European
countries, and you often stay at
Hilton hotels that offer the HotSpot Mobile Printing Service and WebPay, as illustrated in Fig. 27.

For the end-user, the advantages of having a WebPay account include the ability to print to any
HotSpot Printer on the provider’s network, not having to enter a credit card number for each print
job, plus the ability to charge all printing expenses to the same account no matter where the pages
are output. You can also log into your account, see transaction details, check balances, easily re-
fund the account, and print a consolidated report for expense reimbursement. This feature is
extremely useful for hotel chains, Wi-Fi providers, coffee shop chains, and other similar businesses
with multiple locations.
