1. A method of using a mobile device to authenticate a print medium online before completing printing onto the print medium, the mobile device including processing means, a printhead, a sensor in a print path of the printhead, a transmitter and a receiver, the print medium comprising a laminar substrate, the method comprising steps of: using the sensor to sense a plurality of coded data portions provided on a surface of the substrate while the substrate moves past the sensor in the print path, each coded data portion encoding: an identity of the print medium; andpart of a signature, the signature being a digital signature of at least part of the identity;using the processing means to determine, from the sensed coded data: the identity of the print medium; anda plurality of signature parts from respective coded data portions;using the transmitter to send first data to a remote computer system, the first data being indicative of the identity, and the parts of the signature;using the receiver to receive second data from the remote computer system in reply to the first data, the second data being indicative of whether the print medium is authentic based on the identity and the parts of the signature; andin the event the print medium is authentic, using the printhead to print onto the print medium. 2. A method according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of signature parts are indicative of the entire signature. 3. A method according to claim 1, wherein the second data is further indicative of a key. 4. A method according to claim 1, wherein each coded data portion is further indicative of a signature part identity, the processing means further identifying each part of the signature and first data including the identity of each part of the signature, and the authenticity of the print medium is further based on the identities of the parts of the signature. 5. A method according to claim 1, wherein at least one coded data portion is further indicative of a location of the coded data portion on the surface of the print medium. 6. A method according to claim 1, wherein at least one coded data portion is further indicative of a size of the coded the data portions. 7. A method according to claim 1, wherein at least one coded data portion is further indicative of a size of the signature. 8. A method according to claim 1, wherein the digital signature includes at least one of: a random number associated with the identity;a keyed hash of at least the identity;a keyed hash of at least the identity produced using a private key, and verifiable using a corresponding public key;cipher-text produced by encrypting at least the identity;cipher-text produced by encrypting at least the identity and a random number; and,cipher-text produced using a private key, and verifiable using a corresponding public key. 9. A method according to claim 1, wherein the identity of the print medium includes the identity of at least one of: the print medium; anda region of the print medium. 10. A method according to claim 1, further including the step of commencing printing prior to determining whether the authentication step is successful, and halting printing in the event authentication is not successful. 11. A method according to claim 1, wherein the print medium includes an orientation indicator, the method further including steps of: sensing the orientation indicator prior to sensing the coded data; andpreventing printing in the event the medium is inserted incorrectly. 12. A method according to claim 11, including the step, in the event the medium is inserted incorrectly, of providing an indication to a user of the mobile device that the orientation of the medium needs to change. 13. A method according to claim 1, wherein the coded data is printed on the surface using at least one of an invisible ink and an infrared-absorptive ink, and wherein the method includes, sensing the coded data using an infrared sensor. 14. A method according to claim 1, wherein the print medium includes at least one longitudinally extending data track, the method comprising deriving a clock signal from the data track as the print medium is being printed and using the clock signal to synchronize the printing onto the print medium. 15. A method according to claim 14, wherein the data track is linear encoded. 16. A method according to claim 14, wherein the clock signal is embedded in data encoded in the data track, the method including extracting the clock signal from the data track.
