Row units

which monitor the output.
A coloured row unit indicates that the output is active

machine is fitted with extra equipment). If, for some
reason, the output on a row unit is switched off, this is
indicated by a greyed-out row unit (the example
indicates that row units 7 and 8 are switched off).
