  • Publication number: 20190077620
    Abstract: In an example implementation, an example printer system includes a lift, an indicator, a trigger, and a reset mechanism. In an example implementation, a lift is orientable by an amount of media when adjacent to the lift and a trigger has a first portion engageable with the lift at a first orientation of the lift. In an example implementation, the trigger causes the indicator to move towards a first location relative to an aperture defined by an exterior surface in response to engagement with the lift. In an example, the reset mechanism has a first portion engageable with the lift at a second orientation of the lift and the reset mechanism causes movement of the indicator away from the first location in response to engagement with the lift.
