and the outer progress ring will fill, in gray, in a clockwise direction. This indicates the amount of time the printer
requires to prepare for the start of the build, including the amount of time required for a Z Zero Calibration to
occur (see "Z Zero Calibration" on page 156
Once build preparation is complete, "BUILDING" will be displayed within the center of the Build Status Display

time remaining will get smaller until zero is reached, indicating that the build is complete. The build's percentage
of completion is also displayed by radially filling in the outer progress ring, in blue, in a clockwise direction.
