The present invention is directed to a method and system for accessing data services by users which shows the user the cost of such services based on the options, properties, or services selected. A user accesses a multifunctional peripheral device in a non-office environment, such an airport lounge or hotel business center. The user receives information regarding the various services available and the available payment options. The user selects a document for processing, the desired services, and the properties or options associated with such services. The cost of the services with the selected options or properties is calculated and presented to the user. If the user changes the services to be performed or the options or properties associated therewith, the cost for the services is dynamically updated. Once the user has selected the desired services and properties or options, the user then selects the appropriate payment option. Upon the user accepting the charges, the service is performed. The details of the transaction are archived and the user is billed for the service.
