Abstract: A service system for servicing a printing system includes a processor, a printing device, and a computer-readable storage medium in communication with the processor. The computer-readable storage medium may include one or more programming instructions for receiving a request to service the printing device, determining a number of carbon credits associated with driving a vehicle from a service center to a location of the printing device, offering a selected number of carbon credits to a customer to incent acceptance of remote repair of the printing device based at least in part on the determining, and causing remote service to be performed relative to the printing device responsive to receiving an acceptance of the offer of the selected number of carbon credits so that the vehicle need not be driven from the service center to the location of the printing device.

Abstract: A system for servicing a printing system includes a first device and a processor in communication with a storage medium. The system receives a first request to service the first device, determines a first number of carbon credits associated with driving a vehicle to a location of the first device, receives a second request to service a second printing device having a second number of carbon credits, offers a selected number of carbon credits to a customer to incent acceptance of remote repair of the first device, and causes remote service to be performed relative to the first device upon an acceptance of the offer. The selected number of carbon credits may be greater than the first number of carbon credits and, at least in part, to the first and second numbers of carbon credits.
