The Printer Diagram
The printer diagram displays real-time printer activity. It shows the location of
prints in the printer (on most printers), media drawer contents, and printer errors.
The printer diagram varies depending on the printer. When the Printer window is
maximized, the media rolls display more comprehensive information about the
media type, size, and errors.
