A printer is provided. The printer has a printer body enclosing an interior, a screen, a camera, and a processor communicatively coupled to the camera. The screen overlies an exterior of at least a portion of the printer body. The camera is disposed within the interior and is configured to capture an image hereof. The processor is configured, by an analytical diagnostic software program, to display the captured image on the screen, thereby simulating a see-through view into the interior. Methods are also provided for identifying a source of a problem in the printer.

A printer having a printer body enclosing an interior, the printer comprising: a screen overlying an exterior of at least a portion of the printer body;a camera disposed within the interior and configured to capture an image of a location within the interior; anda processor communicatively coupled to the camera and configured, by an analytical diagnostic software program, to:display the captured image on the screen, thereby simulating on the screen a see-through view through the exterior of at least the portion of the printer body and into the interior. 2. The printer according to claim 1, wherein at least a portion of the captured image displays a source of a printer problem, wherein the processor is further configured to visually highlight at least the portion of the captured image displaying the source of the printer problem on the screen. 3. The printer according to claim 2, wherein the processor visually highlights at least the portion of the captured image on the screen in a manner indicating a severity of the problem. 4. The printer according to claim 2, wherein the processor visually highlights at least the portion of the captured image on the screen by delineating the portion with a frame and visually highlighting the frame in a selected color indicating the severity of the problem. 5.

The method according to claim 16, wherein the severity of the problem shown by variations in the visual highlighting comprises delineating at least a portion of the captured image on the screen with a frame and displaying the frame in a selected color indicating the severity of the problem. 18. A method for identifying a source of a printer problem, the method comprising: displaying a first captured image on a screen overlying an exterior of at least a portion of the printer body, the first captured image comprising a first level view of at least a portion of an interior of the printer, the portion comprising the source of the printer problem; anddisplaying a second captured image on the screen if a root source of the printer problem cannot be identified from the first captured image, the second captured image comprising a second level view of at least the portion of the interior of the printer. 19. The method according to claim 18, wherein the display of the first captured image comprising the first level view includes a function button indicating the availability of the second captured image comprising the second level view, the method further comprising: receiving a signal indicating that the function button has been touched by the user; andin response to the signal, displaying the second captured image comprising the second level view, wherein displaying the first captured image and the second captured image simulates a see-through view into the interior of the printer. 20. The method according to claim 18, further comprising visually highlighting at least the portion of the first captured image, the second captured image, or both the portion of the first captured image and the second captured image. 21. The method according to claim 20, wherein visually highlighting at least the portion of the first image, the second image, or both the portion of the first image and the second image comprises visually highlighting in a manner to indicate a severity of the problem comprising an error or a near-error, the error being more severe than the near-error.
