Media tray assemblies with indicators

A media tray assembly comprising:

• a first surface defining an aperture;
• a second surface defining a channel, an end of the channel oriented towards the aperture;
• an indicator having a first peg;
• a trigger comprising:
• a lip;
• a first surface angular to the lip;
• and
• a biasing member, the biasing member to provide force in a direction oblique to the first surface;
• and
• a lift having a portion that engages the first surface of the trigger when the lift moves from a first position to a second position and moves the trigger past the channel in an opposing direction of the force, the lip to disengage the first peg when the trigger moves past the channel.

A method of indicating a media status of a media tray assembly comprising:

• engaging a trigger with a lift when the lift achieves a first orientation threshold;
• moving the trigger as the lift surpasses the first orientation threshold;
• disengaging an indicator from a hidden position when the trigger is moved to a loaded position;
• and
• displaying the indicator with reference to an aperture of a wall of the media tray assembly.
