1. A method for a machine for processing digital paper based machine instructions received from a user utilizing a digital pen and a digital paper form comprising:
- receiving digital paper based user input data created using the digital pen and the digital paper form;
determining if the user can be authenticated by processing authentication data present in the digital paper based user input data created using the digital pen and the digital paper form;
when the user is authenticated, obtaining a user profile;
using the user profile to determine if the user has privileges required to process the digital paper based input data; and
when the user has the privileges required to process the digital paper based input data, causing the machine to process the digital paper based input data, wherein the digital paper form is not physically handled by the machine, whereinthe machine includes a postage machine and the authentication includes verifying user permission to utilize a particular class of shipping service.
