Abstract
In an example, a tray cover extender may include a cover rack attached to a movable tray cover such that movement of the cover rack is transferred to a movement of the movable tray cover. Further, the tray cover extender may include a pinion gear operably engaged with the cover rack so as to actuate or move the cover rack if the pinion gear is actuated. The example tray cover extender may also include a tray rack attached to a media tray. The tray rack may actuate or move the pinion gear as the media tray is moved past the pinion gear. The cover rack may extend the movable tray cover from a first position to a second position if the pinion gear actuates the cover rack.
