Abstract:
A printing device (102) comprises a plurality of feeder print trays (104) to hold print media to be used for printing. The printing device (102) further comprises a plurality of user input sensors (106), such that a user input sensor (106) is provided in proximity to each of the plurality of feeder print trays (104) to sense at least one user input provided by a user on an outer surface of a casing of the corresponding feeder print tray (104). Further, an input tray control module (108) is communicatively coupled to the plurality of input sensors (106). The input tray control module (108) correlates the user input as selection of the corresponding feeder print tray (104) and subsequently determines selection attributes corresponding to the user input. The input tray control module (108) further determines a tray control action to be initiated for the selected feeder print tray (104) based on the user input data and the selection attribute.
