Abstract

A printer, such as an ink-jet or laser printer is provided with a demonstration and activation member to illustrate operability of the printer. The print out is randomly, sequentially or a combination selected by a selection device to contain one or more selected value additions such as coupons for discount pricing for the printer itself, peripheral and the like, whereby the demonstration user keeps, rather than discards the print out.
