1. A method for operating a user computing device, the method comprising:
determining, by a processor, a first location of a machine readable indicia in a first image;
converting, by the processor, the first image to a bit stream;
transmitting, by the processor, an instruction to a printing apparatus to print on a print media to generate printed content, wherein the instruction comprises the bit stream and the first location of the machine readable indicia; and
causing, by the processor, an image sensor to capture a second image of a portion of the printed content based on the first location of the machine readable indicia, wherein the portion of the printed content is at a second location in the printed content, and wherein the second location in the printed content corresponds to the first location of the machine readable indicia in the first image, and wherein prior to causing the image sensor to capture the second image of the portion of the printed content, the processor is configured to align the portion of the printed content with the image sensor based on distances between a print head of the printing apparatus, the image sensor, and the second location in the printed content.
