Abstract:
Examples for estimating quantity of print media available in a device, are described. In one example, the device comprising includes a series of proximity sensors to sense level of a stack of print media. The sensors are mounted on an internal vertical wall of the media tray with each of the plurality of sensors mounted at a different vertical height. Based on the sensing by the sensors, an estimate count of the print media available in a media tray of the device is generated.
