What is prtCoverStatus?

This object reports the current status of a printer cover, lid, or access door sub-unit, indicating whether it is open, closed, or in some other defined state. Printers monitor covers to detect unauthorized access and to alert administrators when covers are left open during operation. Network administrators and device management systems use this to ensure printer physical security and to receive alerts when covers are improperly opened.
