ABSTRACT:
A media level indicator is provided to identify the amount of media in an input stack of a sheet processing device. The media level indicator includes an odometer mechanism configured to survey the printer's feed mechanism so that it may quantify movement of a selected sheet during a predetermined feed operation. The quantified movement thereafter is interpreted to indicate the amount of media in the input stack.
