Patent Images
1. A method of producing a network navigation device, the method comprising the steps of:
- linking to a first resource in an electronic network;
receiving content of the first resource via the electronic network;
displaying at least a portion of the content using a browser;
receiving a print command within the browser after said displaying;
printing first machine-readable data to a substrate in response to the print command, the first machine-readable data providing at least one instruction for linking to the first resource, wherein the first machine-readable data is absent from the content of the first resource; and
printing at least a portion of the content to the substrate in response to the print command.
