Abstract

Example feed trays for a printer are disclosed. In one example, the feed tray includes a support surface to support print media, and a guide wall coupled to the support surface. The support surface and the guide wall define a feed path for the print media into the printer. In addition, the feed tray includes a fill indicator comprising a cam rotatably coupled to the guide wall about an axis of rotation that is perpendicular to the feed path. The cam includes an extension that extends radially from the axis of rotation, and the cam is rotatable about the axis of rotation between a first position and a second position. The extension is more proximate to the support surface when the cam is in the second position than when the cam is in the first position, and the cam is rotationally biased from the second position toward the first position.
