Claim Text:
1. A media transport module comprising: a transport extending from a pick coupling area to a stacking port wherein the transport is adapted to eject media items from the stacking port; and a retractable guide linearly moveable (a) to extend beyond the stacking port and over a carriage plate when media items are being stacked and thereby guide media items ejected from the stacking port onto the carriage plate and prevent the closing of the carriage plate, and (b) to retract into the body of the media transport module to a position where the end of the retractable guide is flush with the stacking port when media items have been stacked so that the carriage plate can close without touching the retractable guide, wherein the carriage plate is closed by rotating a cam block until the carriage plate reaches a closed position.
