    receiving, by the capture device from the recognition device, identification data that identifies the particular symbol;

    determining, by the capture device, a particular user associated with the particular symbol, wherein the particular user is associated with a particular user account; and

    in response to receiving the document capture data and determining the particular user associated with the particular symbol, providing, by the capture device to a server device, (i) account information associated with the particular user account and (ii) an instruction for applying a negative adjustment to the particular user account in connection with performing one or more operations pertaining to the electronic document that corresponds to the rendered document.
