1. A mobile telecommunications device for printing a webpage and retrieving content via a printed webpage, said device comprising:
- a media feed path for receiving a print medium, said print medium being provided with;
first coded data encoding first information in a linear pattern, the first information being indicative of a print media identifier; and
second coded data encoding second information in a plurality of tags printed in a two-dimensional pattern, wherein at least some of the second information is indicative of the print media identifier and of a two-dimensional coordinate grid;
a printer positioned in the media feed path for printing the webpage onto the print medium;
an optical encoder for reading the linear pattern of the print medium, said optical encoder being configured for automatically reading said linear pattern during said printing;
a processor configured for determining the print media identifier by decoding the first coded data encoded in the read linear pattern;
a transceiver for communicating the print media identifier to a computer system, thereby causing the computer system to link the print media identifier with the printed webpage; and
a sensor module comprising a two-dimensional image sensor for sensing at least one tag of the two-dimensional pattern,wherein the processor is further configured for;
determining the print media identifier and a coordinate location by decoding the decoded second coded data; and
initiating retrieval of the content using the print media identifier and the coordinate location.
